Not everyone is blessed with easy bathroom functionality.

The device pairs with a smartphone app to track your bowel movements, and it learns your lifestyle and habits to become more accurate over time. When the gadget identifies the circumstances that might otherwise spell disaster for its users, they receive a 10-minute warning instead of a rude awakening.
