Alumni join forces to market smart toilet seat
Alumnus Nick Conn’s vision for a one-of-a-kind smart toilet seat that will improve the health of people around the world has made giant leaps toward becoming a reality with the help of one of RIT’s most generous patrons.
Casana, the company formerly known as Heart Health Intelligence created by Conn, received $14 million in funding to further the development of a toilet seat-based cardiovascular monitoring system. Joining the Casana leadership team as CEO is Austin McChord ’09, founder of Datto Inc., who in 2017 donated $50 million to RIT, the largest gift in the university’s history.
