Abstract
A urine capturing arrangement is configured to receive urine from a user of a toilet, and a chamber is fluidically coupled to the capturing arrangement. A diverter is fluidically coupled between the capturing arrangement and the chamber. The diverter is configured to divert a volume of the received urine to the chamber. A detection unit is configured to sense for presence of a predetermined characteristic in the volume of the urine and to generate at least one electrical signal comprising information about the predetermined characteristic.
