Bizarre Japanese toilet alert gadget will tell you when it's time to use the loo



D Free

Do you dream of a world where no-one soils themselves?
Well fantasise no longer because a Japanese firm called Triple W is preparing to roll out an system called D Free designed to banish embarrassing "accidents" to the history books.
Anyone wanting to predict their toilet-times needs to strap a sensor on their tummy and connect it to an iPhone app.
"We have detected activity in your intestines," the app says when it detects some action inside its owner.
The user then has 10 minutes or so to find a toilet.

"We've all experienced that urgency, rushing into a bathroom and barely making it," Triple W said in a promotional video.
"We want to solve this problem with a simple device, which lets you know when you need to go the bathoom. It lets you know before you even realise it."
Whilst most people have their own built-in wee-wee warning systems, the app is aimed at elderly people who need a bit of a heads-up before toilet time comes around.
The app also logs a person's loo visits, using the data to better predict the rhythms of their innards.
Triple W has moved its business to Silicon Valley to pursue the dream of creating an accident-free world.
