In one embodiment, the device includes a housing mounted adjacent a toilet bowl, a urinalysis module for deploying urinalysis strips into the toilet bowl to collect a urine sample from a subject's urine stream delivered into the toilet bowl and a urinalysis sensor to acquire data from the urinalysis strip related to the urine sample, and a stool analysis module including a camera oriented into the toilet bowl to provide images of contents of the toilet bowl. In addition, the device may include a uroflowmetry module and/or a biometric identification module. One or more sensors are provided for identifying when a subject uses the toilet, and a processor activates one or more of the modules when the sensors indicate a subject is using the toilet.
