Google’s smart bathroom will track your health

Assessing one’s health is just a bathroom away.

Google’s smart bathroom patent, which was published last July, hints that bathrooms of the future can be capable of doing health checks for the body’s cardiovascular, endocrine, nervous and integumentary systems.
The tech giant wants to make use of “noninvasive” sensors that will be embedded into fixtures. Google’s smart bathroom concept includes a floor mat that can tell a person’s heart rate, self-heating and -cleaning toilet seats that take blood pressure and bowel movement data, and an ultrasonic bathtub that checks blood flow and tissue movement via echocardiography. There will also be a skin color-sensing mirror that can also determine anomalous sizes of organs and limbs, and other health-tracking radars that can transmit data to user’s devices.
 
Google’s technology is advantageous for it can provide the user and his or her doctors with health data gathered on a daily basis, exceeding what can be done or obtained during monthly checkups.
It could be a good move for Google if it decides to make this smart bathroom come to life. The company has been trying to solidify its position in the smart home market, recently launching the Google Home voice-controlled assistant that rivaled Amazon’s Alexa, and one of its engineers making a DIY smart bathroom mirror. With health-monitoring developed, it could gain an upper hand even in the smart home’s bathroom segment.

Google is not the only the company recognizing the boom of smart bathroom fixtures. China manufacturers have been making their sensor-equipped smart toilets that can clean users automatically and soothe via water massage. With smarter bathroom technologies being developed, the industry could grow even more.

Indian Naturopathy

Naturopathy as an age old healing method was very much in practice in India when drugs and technology were not much in vogue. Nature provided all the elements, within the range of the natural foods, which man needed in the way of nutrient and medicine. Thus, the healing power by naturopathy was nothing new to the Indian tradition. In Indian homes, home remedies have always come before the even doctor`s medicines. This clearly portrays the sheer importance of naturopathy as a trustworthy alternative treatment procedure in ancient India. With passing time, Indian naturopathy gained contour as one of the important health care systems in India, famed for its side effect less treatment.

The root of naturopathy as a treatment process is steeped in the antiquities. The origin of Naturopathy could be traced right to Vedic period wherein Dietary Discipline (Pathya & Ahara) and the Principles of Health (Swastha Vurtha) described in Ayurveda have branched out and developed in the form of today`s Naturopathy. Vedic tradition believed that it is nature, which cures, not the physician and the Vedic culture of ancient India highlighted the use of natures foremost healing agents, water, air, earth and sun which indeed forms the basic crux of naturopathy.

The entire philosophy of naturopathy is thus based upon three basic principles. The first principle of naturopathy believes that all diseases are due to the accumulation of toxins and waste materials in the human body. Thus the therapeutic principle of naturopathy in this case refers to the application of various methods to clear the human system from these toxins and accumulated wastes.

The second principle of naturopathy is again further elaboration of the first principle. According to the second principle when toxins accumulate in the body, the various organs of the body gets over exercised while clearing the toxin off the body. It is when this harmony of internal body organ is disturbed then germs multiply and cause disease. Application of medicine, high dose drugs and vaccines to suppress the symptom of the diseases further aggravates the disease while subduing the symptoms.

The third principle of naturopathy is somewhat a solution of the problems that the first and second principle states. According to the third principle of naturopathy, the human body is equipped with a unique self-healing mechanism, which brings back the body to normal conditions of health, if proper natural methods are used to assist the system to function properly.

The therapeutic practice of naturopathy is based on the principle of naturopathy. Naturopathy believes that the body possesses an inherent ability to "heal thyself"; all the healing powers are within one`s body, hence people actually fall ill only when they go against nature. The therapeutic use of naturopathy or the healing power of nature therefore corroborates nearly all the healing techniques in alternative medicine. The basic healing theory of naturopathy is based upon the fact that human being is born healthy and can stay healthy by living in accordance with the laws of nature. To support healthy living and indeed to say no to diseases, Indian naturopathy has described certain nature`s way; thus, thorough rest, fasting, water therapy, mud therapy, aromatherapy, message therapy, sleep therapy, acupressure, etc an ailing body can purify and recoup itself

Trusted for its side effect less treatment naturopathy as a health care system has gained importance. The naturopathic centres as the therapeutic centres have mushroomed in large numbers to provide naturopathic treatment especially in the metropolitan cities in India. Most of them follow a similar routine for treating the common ailments. Whether it is the treatment that suits the more spiritually inclined, with yoga and meditation forming an important part of the day`s routine, or more modern equipment like saunas and whirlpool baths that take one`s fancy, one can choose from many naturopathy centers in India to restore health.

Developing Your Organization During Recession...

LET HR TAKE THE LEAD: BUILD YOUR HUMAN RESOURCES NOW

This is turbulent times.

Watching one's colleagues shown the door all on a sudden on Friday evenings after their access cards are taken away could be unsettling to both those leaving and to those left behind.

Such decisions to lay off are decisions, generally, moved first by the Finance Departments.

As a responsible response to recession, with or without lay offs, those in HR need to proactively work for increasing the productivity of their staff at this time.

When organizations finally pull themselves out of recession, those that have more capable staff will most certainly be the first to make it.

Hence, even if you may not see the need to increase productive capabilities of your staff during a slow down of sales, going ahead and building up capability helps to pull the organization out of recession. And the time to do that is NOW.

BUILDING HUMAN RESOURCES: WHAT STRUCTURE TO RAISE

For long, we have used the metaphor of a pyramid to describe the structure of organizations. Today's business environment does not support pyramidal structures any more.

Management gurus like Peter Senge suggest a much flatter design for 21st Century Organization: Flat like a "level playing field".

While playing a match, each player takes up responsibility to make his/her decision, instantly, without waiting for orders. Similarly, to succeed in the market, those workers/staff 'in the field' need to be trained to act with, what the Fifth Discipline calls, a sense of "Personal Mastery".

Training those in the lowest rung of hierarchy to behave in a masterly fashion is an entirely new way to train, and it is much different from the traditional way of training them to obey orders.

Even if you had them trained earlier in personality development, you may do well to go beyond that, leading them towards Personal Mastery.

Personal Mastery implies the modern employee will have his/her personal development goals in place and pursue it seriously, and the Company will 'marry' the vision of the employee with that of the Company!

Taking this clue, HR could see how this recession could be utilized as an opportunity to educate and transformation your field players. An enlightened set of players with a purpose in life will do better than ignorant ones in pulling the company out of recession.

STRENGTHENING THE ROOTS

We use stories and parables to make sense of this complex world. If we can think of recession as a dry spell that a farmer faces, we may gain some insight into what needs to be done, by observing the farmer.

When water becomes scarce, he applies it in drops, to the roots. He knows that if he takes care to preserve the moisture at the roots, the tree will look after itself.

Thus, if recession forces your production plants to be down for a few days a week or month, the HR department could use the time to nurture their workers.

INNOVATIVE CARE OF EMPLOYEES, DURING RECESSION

Perhaps the best way to let your employees understand that you do care for them is to help them to face the recession:

Train them to:

1. Generate income at home,


2. Cut down on expenses,


3. Prepare for better opportunities


4. Spend time usefully.

1. Generate income at home:

You may want to train your employees to beat depression by engaging themselves in hobbies that have huge income generating potentials! Teach them to upgrade their hobbies like rearing ornamental fish, cooking and eating, rearing plants/cacti or pets to profitable businesses... Check the links below:

• Nabard Bank has a wonderful site on scaling up your ornamental fish breeding hobby into an entrepreneurial venture... the staff who have an empty terrace or an open backyard at home might go for it: NABARD's Model Bankable Projects

• Here is a BBC report on how a women's ability to make humble samosa would make her a Samosa Queen: BBC NEWS | Business | UK curry queen has empire in her sights

2. Cut down on expenses:

A short course on health care - particularly on how to avoid infections, home remedies, physical exercise etc - could help employees to achieve better health, improve their immune system, and reduce medical bills, and sick leaves.

What better way could be there to inform your constituencies that the company cares, than your care for their and their families' health?

3. Prepare for better opportunities:

As much as continuous learning is essential for the survival of Companies in a fast changing world, the staff too need to keep learning. After all, Learning Organizations can't be created by people who don't learn?

Open the doors of the world to your employees: Just spend a day surfing the Internet with your employees to inform them on what is meant by information revolution: show them the open coursewares of over 1800 courses taught in MIT, the Yahoo/Google/Microsoft Maps of the world; the world of emails; YouTube on Safety at Work Place...Online reservation of tickets, Online operation of personal bank accounts...communicating via chats/audio/video...

Teach them how to learn languages... new skills...like data entry...car driving...

As you enlarge the minds of your employees, their world becomes broader, and that helps them to appreciate the meaning of international competition, and the need to increase quality of products/services.

4. Spend Time Usefully:

People are under stress, fearing or suffering loss of employment. Even those you fire could be given the assistance to cope with life after the pink slip. When you see how people choose tragic ends to their lives, you will certainly appreciate the need to prepare people to be flexible in life.

Not knowing how to spend the busy days otherwise spent in the factory or office could spell disaster. Idling, while feeling depressed, drags one into habits that will harm self, family and the organization.

An introduction to yoga or entrepreneurship could help redesign life during crisis, and help one to transform it into a great opportunity to create something new.

TRANSFORM CRISIS INTO OPPORTUNITY

In one sense, all business arise as solution to some problems faced by people: of hunger (hotels), disease (hospitals), travels (airways, railways, bus, taxi,...) etc.

What is needed is an ability to imagine or dream, an enterprising mindset, and the will to succeed.

And, to impart that wisdom to your people, this may be the opportune time.

A wise farmer once told me, if you planted a tree during dry summer days, you will take care of it, knowing it will die without your help. By the time you get tired of watering, the rainy season will set in. But, if you plant during rainy season, you may have forgotten the tree by the time summer sets in.

If this is summer, then, it is HR Department's time to take care of the company's roots.
