Hardly the first incarnation of this... and 80% accuracy doesn't sound very good. That's wrong more than once a week!

So why haven't these kinds of toilets taken off? Too hard to modify existing toilets? People don't care? Technology isn't there?

Seems like for those that are really interested, it isn't _too_ hard to just manually keep a log (pun intended).

80% accuracy is potentially fine for a time series, assuming the errors are random rather than specific to a user. You can denoise this stuff, and the recognizer should get better as the sample size grows.
