Abstract
A system for distinguishing a type of excreta deposited in a toilet is disclosed. The system includes a toilet and a processor. The toilet has a bowl adapted to receive multiple types of excreta from a user and a sensor which monitors the volume of excreta deposited in the toilet. The processor compares excreta volume data derived from the sensor to a database comprising excreta-type volume data and associates a time segment from the excreta volume data as representing an excreta-type. This system can provide data which may be used to determine the rate of excreta deposit into the toilet and associated those rates with excreta events types such as urination or defecation.
