China's Smart Toilet That Detects Diabetes? Here's the Truth (and Hype) Behind It
Imagine walking into a public restroom, using a urinal, and getting a health report on your phone moments later. Sounds futuristic? Well, in many parts of China, it’s already happening. A new generation of smart toilets is now offering real-time health checks, including a test for diabetes. But how real is this technology? Let’s break it down.
What Is This Smart Toilet, Exactly?
Photos and videos began surfacing online showing urinals with digital screens and QR codes in Chinese malls and rest stops. Developed by Chinese health-tech company Yuce, these urinals let you scan a QR code, give a urine sample, and receive health results within minutes.
- Scan the QR code with your phone
- Pee into the urinal—it collects a mid-stream sample
- Medical-grade sensors analyze 14 health markers
- Results arrive on your phone in 2–5 minutes
What Does It Test?
The smart toilet checks for:
- Glucose – for diabetes
- Proteins & albumin – kidney health
- Ketones, pH, white blood cells – signs of infection or dehydration
- Vitamin C, creatinine, specific gravity – general wellness
Where Is It Being Used?
According to Yuce, over 10,000 of these devices are already installed across China in:
- Shopping centers (Wanda Plaza, Suning Plaza)
- Train stations and highway rest stops
- Office buildings and tourist attractions
Cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Wuxi, and Changsha are leading adopters.
Is It Accurate?
A Red Star News journalist tested it by pouring tea and bottled water into the urinal. The machine still gave full reports—including high glucose levels!
This shows the system can be fooled.
Even the makers clarify it's not a certified medical device. It's a pre-screening tool—a health nudge, not a diagnosis.
Doctors caution users to follow up with proper medical tests for any abnormal results.
Cost of the Test
Each test costs approximately 20 RMB (around $3 USD), making it cheaper than many basic clinic visits.
Will It Come to Other Countries?
Currently, the tech is exclusive to China. But if successful, it could inspire similar solutions in airports, offices, or even schools worldwide.
Final Thoughts: Gimmick or Game-Changer?
Smart toilets like this represent a shift toward digital health access. But concerns remain about:
- Accuracy
- Hygiene
- Data privacy
If it helps someone detect a potential illness early, maybe it's worth a try.
Next time you're in a Chinese mall, your bathroom break might just be a mini health check. Just skip the tea test.
