ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for examining urine for certain constituents thereof includes a vertically disposed cylinder for receiving urine therein. The cylinder includes a diametrically enlarged upper portion having an inside diameter which is larger than that of its remaining portion. A piston is vertically movably disposed in the cylinder. If the piston is lowered, urine can be stored in the cylinder. If it is raised, the urine is discharged from the cylinder, except that only a small portion thereof remains in a clearance defined between the piston and the diametrically enlarged portion of the cylinder. If the piston is lowered again, a reagent and water are supplied into the cylinder and mixed with the urine remaining therein. An electrode is connected to the cylinder for determining the concentration of sugar, etc. in the urine which has been mixed with the reagent and water. Disclosed also is a toilet stool having a bowl surface in which the upper end of the apparatus is exposed for receiving urine into the cylinder. The toilet stool including the apparatus can be employed to organize a system for collecting information on health. The system includes a first computer provided near the toilet stool for collecting data, such as the concentration of sugar in the urine, and transferring them, and a second computer which may be installed in a hospital for receiving the data from the first computer and storing them progressively.
