Actually, it is a device that can be incorporated into the toilet pipes and analyze people's feces through image capture.

For its development, 3,328 images of stools reviewed by gastroenterologists were processed

The tool is specially designed for those with chronic gastrointestinal problems, such as inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome, and will provide the medical team with the information they need to find the ideal treatment.

The 'Duke Smart Toilet Lab' will monitor bowel movements and provide accurate information to gastroenterologists who, until now, "have to rely on the information about stool that the patient himself communicates to help determine the cause of his health problems" , according to one of the authors of the work, Deborah Fisher.

Ultimately, professionals are dealing with "unreliable" information. It is not easy to remember how often you defecate or describe what your stool looks like.

How to Password Protect your Browsing History on Google

Accessing a user's browsing history on Google allows you to delve into their privacy. Know, based on your searches, what worries you, what you are interested in and even some of your most hidden passions.

Because when you type in the search engine, you do it alone, far from prejudice, and you dare to ask about any topic.

How to Password Protect

Keeping track of the thoughts on the keyboard was, until now, as easy as consulting the search history. Before anyone's eyes, details appeared that the user might prefer to keep to himself. 

That is why Google has incorporated a novelty and allows, from this week, to incorporate a password that encrypts the content of your walk through the network.

In this way, it offers an additional layer of security that allows the information stored in the "My Activity" section to be safeguarded. 

The password protects searches, the history of the websites visited and that of the videos on YouTube from prying eyes.

The users themselves have to ask for the password to be enabled because the new service does not come by default. How to do it?

These are the steps you have to follow to encrypt access to your transit through Google and its services.

Access the "My Activity on Google" section. Select the option «Manage verification of My Activity». A pop-up window will open with two options. Activate the one that says "needs additional verification." It is the first to appear.

Once you have done this, Google will require your usual password, which is the same one you use to access, for example, Gmail. Once you have done it, you will have shielded one more piece of your privacy.

In this way, the company follows in the footsteps of Apple, which years ago opted for the opening of stores in emblematic places, with a wide network already consolidated worldwide and converted, in some cases, even into a tourist attraction.

In the case of Google, expert personnel will also offer advice and guidance to those who visit the store asking for any details about their devices or any problem with the installation of programs or of a technical nature such as the breaking of the terminal screen.
