Abstract
A medical toilet with fingerprint reading handles is disclosed. The handles extend from a side surface of a seat on the medical toilet allowing a toilet seat user to use the fingerprint reader while sitting on the medical toilet. The handles enable authentication of a user and loading of specific medical toilet functionality associated with the authenticated user. The fingerprint readers are also used to determine cardiac functions of the user in addition to authentication of the user. The handles may be retractable and may include UV sanitation.
