Smart Toilet Seat Raiser

The smart toilet seat raiser is a gerontechnology product designed for elderly individuals, offering two key functions. 

(1) It assists the elderly in securely and efficiently using the toilet by employing a motorized feature to aid in sitting and standing up. 

(2) It proactively promotes health by allowing users and caretakers to monitor stool for early detection of colorectal cancer and related conditions.

With the help of an AI-powered camera, regular screenings are conducted to promptly identify colorectal cancer or precancerous polyps, enabling timely intervention. The aim is to merge the functionality of a toilet seat raiser with AI capabilities, creating a smart and automated solution that prioritizes user safety and health. This innovative approach reflects VTC students’ commitment to leveraging technology for the benefit of the elderly.
