Urine analysis via a toilet-based device can enable continuous health monitoring, a transformation away from hospital-based care towards more proactive medicine. To enable reliable sample collection for a toilet-attached analyzer, here a novel sample collector is proposed. The applicability of the proposed sample collector is validated for long-term use. Geometric parameters of the 3D-printed sample collector are optimized. The collected and leftover volumes are quantified for a range of urination speeds and design parameters. For long-term cyclic use, the protein concentrations of samples are quantified and the effectiveness of washing the sample collector is assessed.
基于马桶的尿液分析设备可以实现连续的健康监测，使医疗从以医院为基础的护理模式转变为更具主动性的医疗模式。为了实现与马桶相连的分析器可靠的样本采集，这里提出了一种新型的样本采集器。验证了所提出的样本采集器的长期使用适用性。对 3D 打印样本采集器的几何参数进行了优化。针对不同的排尿速度和设计参数，对采集的样本量和剩余样本量进行了定量分析。为了进行长期循环使用，对样本中的蛋白质浓度进行了定量，并评估了清洗样本采集器的效果。
