Toto

Toto is not a dog. I'm sure you thought it was at first glace though.
Toto is a toilet. A very smart toilet.
Toto checks your health, much like a Physician's Assistant, in your bathroom.

Deemed the "Intelligence Toilet" system, Toto analyzes your urine, taken straight from the bowl, then you take your blood pressure with a nearby monitor (suggest doing this AFTER you're done on the pot), then you weigh yourself on "a set of scales" in front of your sink, and measure your BMI (body mass index), AFTER you wash your hands of course.

This data all gets compiled onto a spreadsheet and transferred to your home network, which you can then email to your doctor, without ever having to bend forward, turn your head, or coughing.

Of course this toilet is from Japan. Those Japanese, they make so many terribly awesome-bizarre-ridiculous-ingenious-worthless things. But this isn't the End All Be All of toilet technology. There are so many "high tech" toilets that I couldn't even begin to sort through a list of them to post, but for those who have a few extra thousand dollars laying around to spend on a new porcelain throne, this is a good place to start:
