Study Summary

This trial is testing an electronic apparatus for measuring stool and urine output. Participants will use the apparatus in a private bathroom, and can choose when to start and stop using it.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for Duke University students or employees who can safely use a private bathroom in the CIEMAS building or MSRB III Building. It's open to those frequently present in these buildings, but not for individuals using wheelchairs or mobility devices due to ADA compliance issues.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing a new toilet seat designed to measure stool and urine output automatically. Participants will have one meeting with the team and then use the device at their convenience during the test period.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

There are no direct side effects from participating in this trial as it involves using an electronic apparatus; however, privacy concerns while using the special toilet seat may be considered.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: apparatus useExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

All participants will use the apparatus following the same procedures. They will weigh themselves on a scale located in the bathroom, use the apparatus with or without "hats" ("hats" refer to a plastic container used to catch stool/urine that needs to be placed between the toilet rim and the toilet seat and discarded after each use) and weigh themselves after using the toilet.
