The smart toilet is equipped with sensors in the toilet seat to measure hydration levels of a person. Business class seats on the plane are integrated with sensors to detect physiological changes in athletes. There are few wearable techs in the plane to keep tab on an athlete’s condition. Furthermore, the collected data is sent onto a mobile phone app that suggests them how to improve their hydration level and sleeping pattern.
