Assignee: CASANA CARE, INC.
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 9:
10. 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 housing;
a non-contact temperature sensor supported by the housing, the non-contact temperature sensor including an infrared (IR) thermometer oriented towards 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 being moved by the drive system 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 the temperature data and combine the temperature data into a temperature profile representing temperature measured across different spatial positions corresponding to the substantial majority of the opening, the temperature profile including temperature indicative of one or more objects within the area scanned by non-contact the temperature sensor;
extract a set of features from the temperature profile; and
determine, using a model trained to predict core body temperature, a core body temperature of the subject based on the extracted features.
