Was at the HLTH 2023 conference in Vegas this week, they had a toilet seat with a blood pressure and pulse monitor and pulse oximeter.

Based on users weight and weight distribution it could even track multiple people.

When I asked about cost, they insisted they wanted it to be $0 for patients and handled by insurance.

Blood pressure is still pending FDA approval.

Nice dodge they did there.
