The “HARO ECG seat” from Hamberger Medical is designed to detect cardiac arrhythmia early on. Sensors for a 6-channel ECG are built into the seat to do this.

      I wonder if it started as a joke.

      “Where can you force people to sit still for long enough to detect an afib?”

      “The toilet!”

        I’m being downvoted, but very serious. There’s a great product by Kardia that is handheld, and can be used in a lot of different configurations. It would be easy to adopt that to a harness you wear all day to record your EKG and not just while sitting on the shitter.

    For those long sits where your legs might get numb, try supporting your weight from the feet. Like squatting with your ass only touching the toilet seat instead of resting on it.

      What am I some kind of triathlete here. I’ve already given all my energy to push in there’s none left for squatting.

        Squatting, shitting…what’s the third event? Scrolling on your phone? The Indolent Ironman.
