EP 943B - A Toilet Seat That Can Predict Heart Trouble

For heart failure patients, readmission is common. Within 30 days of hospital discharge, 25% of patients come back, and after 90 days, 45% come back.

But, thanks to new technology, a toilet may be all it takes to keep you out of the hospital.

Nicholas Conn, CEO and founder of Heart Health Intelligence, shares how his invention—a toilet seat with a single EKG—can help detect complications before a patient is even symptomatic. This type of seamless in-home monitoring can lead to earlier, simpler interventions, such as a short office visit or drug change rather than a hospital visit.

Tune in to learn when people with heart failure will be able to use the product, plus what other conditions it may soon be able to detect.
