Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 30:
31. A system, comprising:
a sensor configured to detect when a subject is seated on a ring of a toilet;
a set of force sensors disposed about the ring of the toilet, the set of force sensors configured to collectively measure forces present on the ring when the 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 move the non-contact temperature sensor to scan laterally across a substantial majority of the opening, the non-contact temperature sensor configured to measure temperature data while scanning laterally across the substantial majority of the opening area and as urine or feces of the subject is received through the opening; and
a processor operatively coupled to the sensor, the set of force sensors, and the non-contact temperature sensor, the processor configured to:
receive signals indicative of the sensor detecting that the subject is seated on the ring;
activate, in response to the sensor detecting that the subject is seated on the ring, the drive system to move the non-contact temperature sensor such that the non-contact temperature sensor measures the temperature of the urine or feces;
receive signals indicative of the forces measured by the set of force sensors and the temperature data; and
determine, using the signals indicative of the forces measured by the set of force sensors and the temperature data, a ballistocardiogram (BCG), and a core body temperature of the subject.
