Wow, the part where there is a device down the pipe that acts as a mini laboratory, analyzes the fecal matter passing through, and sends you medical alerts on your smartphone… I could totally see this exist in the future. Identification could probably be done by sequencing the gut microbiome to avoid the camera taking pictures of your ass.
