New Device for IBD
THIS SMART DEVICE GIVES YOU A 10-MINUTE WARNING THAT YOU MAY NEED A TOILET
By Kenny Ong in New Products on Thursday 12 March 2015
Triple W is a Japanese startup based in California that has developed a nifty wearable device to predict your bowel movements and give you a 10-minute notice to find a toilet soon. Called D Free, the device is attached to your stomach and connected to an app on your smartphone.
The sensors in the device can detect movement or swelling in your intestines and send a notification to your smartphone to warn you that within about 10 minutes, you should find yourself a vacant toilet.
The app also records your bowel movements throughout the day to track your daily habits so as to give you even more accurate notifications in the future.
Triple W predicts that D Free will be most relevant to folks who suffer from incontinence. It would also be welcomed by people in wheelchairs or with limited mobility, giving them ample time to find a toilet. In nursing homes, the device could cue busy staff on when to help their patients in such matters.
Triple W is planning to raise production funds at crowdfunding sites. The company hopes to ship it to customers in the U.S. in May and Japan by December. It is priced at $US200 for now but Triple W hopes they can bring the price down to $US50 when they are able to mass produce it.
After all, it is a matter of utmost urgency to some.

ER Visit
Well I had a black tarry watery stool and have been in a lot of pain lately so I decided to be on the safe side and go on to the hospital. All the tests came out clear. No surprise. My symptoms always precede my test results. They didn't see any bleeding. My gi was on call so he came to the er to see me. He put my on cipro and Flagyl to be safe. And gave me more Norco but said he didnt want to. I know they're addictive. Im not stupid. But how else do I deal with so much pain I can barely walk?? Ugh. So frustrating!
