Internet of Things in the Bathroom: Smart Health-Monitoring Bidet System

Abstract

The Internet of things (IoT) helps our everyday lives such as by monitoring objects and tracking behaviors in various settings, but studies on enhancing the bathroom experience are rare. This article describes full details about development and implementation of a smart health-monitoring bidet based on our study published previously in the conference. A smart bidet system is designed to monitor the users’ health through several contact-type sensors, such as pressure, oxygen, and thermometer. The system is equipped with a built-in artificial intelligence software platform and is designed to detect anal and spinal diseases. The attached sensors normally operate under waterproof conditions: we tested their performances under X6 international protection marking conditions. These devices were designed to operate properly even in extremely waterproof conditions. The temperature, pressure, and oxygen sensors of the bidet system had error rates of about 4.1, 0.6, and 1.1 percent, respectively.

Design and Construction of an Automatic Warm Water Media Shower Based on Arduino Uno

“…A house must have a bathroom. The bathroom has an important role as a place to carry out personal activities such as bathing, defecating and urinating (Heo & Jeong, 2021;Kusuma et al, 2024;Mendes et al, 2021). Most bathrooms in households still use dippers and manual showers as tools for bathing so that their use is less efficient because it can result in wastage of clean water and is impractical (Ibáñez-Rueda et al, 2023;Wong et al, 2022;Zhang et al, 2021).…”
