Say Bye-Bye to Your Bathroom and Hello to Your Biomedical Base
Get ready for health diagnostics and a high-tech makeover
Ric Edelman: It's Monday, September 30th. I want you to tell me about the fixtures in your bathroom. You've got a sink, mirror, toilet, bathtub or shower, tile floor. Okay, throw all that out, because within the next 10 years, you're going to replace all of it with new smart gear. Pee in the toilet, and the toilet will tell you if you're dehydrated.
Yeah, toilets already have self-cleaning functions for your tushy. Soon they're going to do a urinalysis test. to detect urinary tract infections and kidney problems. These are already available to senior living facilities for $65 a month per seat. They're going to be available for purchase for your home.
Another company is selling pods for $500 that sit inside the toilet bowl. It can detect vitamin and glucose levels and even tell you if you're ovulating. Toilets of the future will also have an electronic nose. Yeah, it'll smell your number one and number two to warn you of disease. It also will have different types of light to take your temperature and measure your heart rate and blood oxygenation.
Your toilet will also be super clean thanks to ultraviolet lights and cleaning agents that sterilize the bowl, getting rid of bacteria and viruses. And how about the mirror? In the future, your mirror will have an interface that connects you to your doctor. AI will make skin care recommendations, and mirrors will have augmented reality to help you do yoga for your face and meditation as well. The mirrors will have cameras that can tell you how much blood is flowing to your face to predict heart attack, stroke, and hypertension, and the results will be displayed right on the mirror.
Now let's go to the shower. The shower will be infrared. It'll bathe you in a red glow, reducing inflammation and stress. Your soap tray and your shampoo bottle will automatically reorder themselves when they run low. You won't have to touch anything either. The entire bathroom will be voice activated. You'll even be able to use your foot to control water pressure.
And speaking of feet, on the floor, smart bathmats will measure your weight and body composition. They'll check your posture, gait, and balance to predict the risk you might fall. They'll also spot neurodegenerative diseases. And when you wash your hands and brush your teeth, your sink will track the water to see if you have COVID or some other disease. Your toothbrush will also be able to detect COVID and cancer as well, and if all that's freaking you out, just hop into the tub. Your bathtub will have soothing waterfall sounds, and the water will flow into a moat that surrounds you. A fog machine with aromatherapy and colored lights will relax you. It's the shower of the future and it's coming your way within the next decade.
We've got a webinar coming up. It's next Wednesday, October 9th, at 1:00pm EDT. It's a webinar on yield, staking, lending, and custody of crypto with Bill Barhydt, who's the founder of Abra. Famous for being the first guy ever to give a Ted talk on Bitcoin way back in 2012, he's going to be with me discussing how your clients can earn yield through staking, access liquidity, tax efficiently, and a whole lot more.
