    IOT Tampons

    https://hackaday.com/2016/12/06/the-...et-of-tampons/

    At the 2016 Hackaday Superconference, Amanda Brief and Jacob McEntire gave a talk on what they’ve been working on for the past few years. It’s My.Flow, the world’s first tampon monitor capable of tracking saturation, and eliminating anxiety, leakage, and infection. It’s better than a traditional tampon, and it’s one of the rare Internet of Things things that actually makes sense.

      We are all suppose to be using reusable sanitary protection like moon cups to save the environment. As these types of sanitary protection are far less likely to leak, it seems they are creating a product for the developed world that is only useful as a medical device.

          Yep.

          So instead of saying x is normal they can measure it and work out what variations are actually "normal".

            could well provide valuable information times,flow,time shape of flow, temperature, ph etc.

              Can the same technology be applied to toilet paper?

              As I have to see a Gastroenterologist every 6 months it would be quite useful if I could take along a print out of my bowel movements.
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                Possibly but would need to be attached to stop it coming out.

                Swallowable cameras are a thing now. About £500 last I looked.
