Abstract: TITLE: SQUAT TOILET WITH INTEGRATED REFLECTIVE SURFACE FOR SELF-INSPECTION OF ANORECTAL AND GENITOURINARY REGIONS APPLICANT: MEENAKSHI ACADEMY OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND RESEARCH ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a self-examination squat toilet device configured to facilitate visual self-inspection of the anorectal and/or external genitourinary regions of a user during a squatting posture. The device comprises a squat-type toilet platform having designated foot-support regions and an integrated reflective assembly incorporated within a toilet substrate. The reflective assembly comprises a bonding/interface layer, a reflective layer, and a protective transparent layer, in which the reflective layer and the protective transparent layer define an integrated reflective viewing surface substantially flush with the surrounding toilet platform. The reflective viewing surface is positioned at a predetermined location between the foot-support regions and is configured to reflect incident light from the anatomical region toward the user's eyes, thereby enabling direct visual observation without requiring a separate multi-mirror optical assembly, adjustable mirror supports, or an inter-mirror optical relay. The protective transparent layer provides resistance against water, cleaning agents, abrasion, and contamination, while an edge-sealing arrangement protects the underlying reflective assembly. The device thereby provides a durable, hygienic, and passive optical arrangement for convenient visual self-observation during normal squatting use.
