Smart Bathroom

These bathrooms don't necessarily need to be targeted at households. It could make sense for office buildings, so that:

-costs/person can be kept low

-it is easier for the employer to handle connecting measurements to medical IDs (scan an app/employee ID)

-it is easier for employers to negotiate directly with providers to lower health insurance (I believe some companies already do this with Fitbits, e.g. John Hancock)




I bet companies would want that. They could detect if employee use drugs, etc. But this might become a privacy problem if it goes too far.
