Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
a set of force sensors disposed about a ring of a toilet, the set of force sensors configured to collectively measure forces present on the ring when a subject is seated on the ring;
a non-contact temperature sensor orientated toward an opening of the toilet;
a drive system coupled to the non-contact temperature sensor, the drive system configured to rotate the non-contact temperature sensor about an axis to scan laterally across a substantial majority of the opening, the non-contact temperature sensor configured to measure temperature data while rotating to scan laterally across the substantial majority of the opening and as urine or feces of the subject is received through the opening; and
a processor operatively coupled to the set of force sensors and the non-contact temperature sensor, the processor configured to receive signals indicative of the forces measured by the set of force sensors and the temperature data and to determine, using the signals and the temperature data, at least a subset of a weight, a ballistocardiogram (BCG), a posture, or a core body temperature of the subject.
