ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new electronic device designed to help measure how much stool and urine a person produces in an easy and accurate way. The goal is to make tracking waste output simpler for individuals. To participate, you need to be a student or employee at Duke University and have access to specific private bathrooms in the CIEMAS or MSRB III buildings. You should also be able to use these bathrooms safely and comfortably.

If you decide to join the study, you will have one visit with the research team before starting. Once enrolled, you can choose when to use the device in the private bathroom during the testing period. It's important to note that if you use a wheelchair or other mobility aids, you won't be able to participate at this time due to the current bathroom setup not meeting accessibility standards.
