The title of my project: Smart Toilet Diagnostics (S.T.D)
School: Dominica Seventh Day Adventist Secondary School
Address: Glanvillia Portsmouth
Phone Number: 445-4564
Name of Student: Aullisha Robin
Name of teacher: Ms. Ernesta Burnette
Problem statement:
There are a number of people in the community who are obese and diabetic. These
people in most cases, only become aware when they are into the late stages where
almost it nothing can be done about it. Diabetes is a condition where there is too
much glucose (sugar) in the blood. This situation is very dangerous to the body and
usually causes death if proper care isn’t taken of one’s body. Introduction of the
STD will be a simple and affordable way to alert everyone of their health
conditions as it relates to sugar levels.
Numerous young/middle aged women as well as men are obese which leads to
diabetes. Statistics shows that a large cross section of the community is affected by
diabetes due to the lack of awareness.
I strongly believe that the STD will keep people alert of what is happening and it
will reduce the amount of obese and diabetic people in the community. Also this
project will help assist people who are disable and may need hospitality and find it
too far, so the STD will be beneficial to them.
Objectives of the project:
The set of objectives that I have in mind to address the problems are:
 creating a toilet which will be affordable and accessible to everyone in my
community and the rest of Dominica by extension.
 Creating a toilet which is able to monitor an individual’s glucose levels
(blood sugar) and BMI.
 conduct seminars to enlighten the public of the importance of monitoring
their sugar level
 Create and establish the S.T.D which will result in the decrease in the
number of deaths caused by obesity and diabetes.
Proposed to the solution:
This project is based on a toilet that checks one’s Blood Glucose and their weight,
including their BMI. This is specially named the Smart Toilet Diagnostics (STD).
Due to the vital activities it performs, STD will be beneficial to people in the
home, community and even worldwide. It may lower the risk of death around the
world due to its smartness which may keep people alert of their blood sugar and
BMI. STD works automatically if one sets it to be and may switch modes if it’s to
be done manually. This project will be readily available to many people especially
those who may be disabled and are in need of it. It will be affordable so anyone
will be able to buy it. Younger persons will also be encouraged to purchase the
STD so that they could be aware of their health conditions and not be caught off
guard. I grantee that the money spent for this project will be worth spending.
There are different materials which will be used to construct this project as
follows:
Mat
Blood Glucose Meter
Smart
Toilet
Diagnostics
White
paint
Wood
Scale
White Pipe
There’s something called a sample catcher which is found in the bowl that can
obtain the urine samples. It displays to you how your glucose (sugar) level has
been fluctuating. These trends can help diabetics’ time insulin shots. Smart Toilet
Diagnostics is perhaps surprisingly, one of the precursors to the common use of the
greatest technology.
Pictures of the Smart Toilet Diagnostics:
A glucose meter (or glucometer) is a medical device for determining the
approximate concentration of glucose in the blood. This is the instrument which is
being place inside the toilet bowl where ones urine will fall directly on it which
will enable it to read ones glucose level.

The scale which is placed as a mat when going to use the toilet is used to check
one’s BMI (Body Mass Index).

The competition:
The Smart Toilet Diagnostics (STD) is the most unique project anyone will ever
see. Since it performs so many wonderful and amazing tasks that no one would
ever expect a toilet to do. This toilet will be very affordable though it does a
number of things. Also this toilet will be beneficial to anyone, and any place
especially in hospitals where most sick people are, so this project will also reduce
the amount of work one does in the hospital. It also will decrease the amount of
young and aging people who are dying because of different health problems such
as Diabetes and Obesity. This project will also be very efficient rather than the
normal toilet, which is plain and cannot offer all these extravagant duties such as
the Smart Toilet Diagnostics.

Use of STEM:
 Science: When the sample catcher gets the urine it is then tested by the
blood glucose meter which further tells the person about there glucose level
and the scale which is used to weigh the person, this also incorporates with
science.
 Technology: The use of digital meters and monitors to show results of tests.
Information could also be stored in the system to recall data for comparison.
 Engineering: The construction of the STD.

Mathematics: The use of weight and age to calculate BMI. Individuals’ age
will be placed in the system initially.
Community involvement and community impacts:
 My classmates may help me prepare fliers and help me implement it at the
hospital or at interested individuals’ homes for tryouts.
 Surveys can be done which can be carried out within my community and
enlist the assistance of your village council chairman and the district schools
to bring home the idea to their parents.
 Also, incorporate the different ministries which would be responsible for
health to explore my idea which will create awareness within neighboring
countries and in effect go regional.
The Smart Toilet Diagnostics will be beneficial to hospitals and everyone in
the community. At the end, many people in the community will be saved,
there’ll be more healthy people in the community and the rate of death will
decrease thoroughly.
