Abstract
Apparatus and methods are described for use with a bodily emission of a subject that is disposed within a toilet bowl. One or more light sensors are configured to receive light from the toilet bowl, while the bodily emission is disposed within the toilet bowl. A computer processor detects a set of three or more spectral components that have a characteristic relationship with each other in a light spectrum of a microorganism, by analyzing the received light, and determines that there is a presence of the microorganism within the bodily emission in response thereto. Other applications are also described.
