What this trial studies
This study tests an electronic device designed to accurately measure stool and urine output in a user-friendly manner. Participants will have the option to use the device at their convenience in a private bathroom located within Duke University's CIEMAS or MSRB III buildings. The study involves either an in-person or virtual visit with the research team prior to participation, ensuring that users can safely operate the device. The goal is to improve the accuracy of waste output tracking for better health monitoring.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are students or employees at Duke University who can safely use the designated bathrooms.
Not a fit: Patients who use wheelchairs or other mobility devices will not benefit due to current accessibility limitations of the bathroom facilities.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this device could enhance the accuracy of waste output tracking, leading to improved patient care and monitoring.
How similar studies have performed: While this approach is innovative, there is limited information on similar studies, suggesting this may be a novel endeavor.
Eligibility criteria
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * people who are able to use the private bathroom at no risk to themselves in the CIEMAS building (B508) or the bathroom located in room 4002, 4th floor of MSRB3. * students or employees at Duke University since card access is required for our MSRB3 bathroom. * people who spend most of their time in these buildings so we can assure the use of the toilet. * If the recruitment number is slow, enrollment will include people from the closest buildings. Exclusion Criteria: * People who use wheelchairs or other mobility devices won't be able to enroll, since at this moment the bathroom is not compliant with the requirements on The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990.
