A Novel Digital Bathroom Scale

in

University Nevada-Reno - $17,000

Unlike most scales that sit on the floor, this scale replaces the seat of a toilet, thus combining the function of the scale with the form of a toilet seat. The team researched, invented, designed, constructed a prototype of the scale, and demonstrated both the functionality and the appeal of the product. The scale is designed to function and mount, via hinges, onto a commode just as a standard toilet seat.

The Toilet Scale may be sold as a novelty gift, home improvement item, or as a health care device.
