Forget Smart Watches: This Toilet Gadget Analyzes Your Health While You Go!
Imagine a world where your toilet is smarter than your smartphone. Well, that world is here, thanks to Kohler's innovative new product called Dekoda—a device that turns your toilet bowl into a health monitoring tool. For just $599, this futuristic gadget clamps over the rim of your toilet and uses advanced optical sensors to assess your health by examining your... well, waste. Sounds unbelievable? It’s not just a bathroom accessory; it’s a leap into the future of personal wellness.
The Dekoda device is designed to analyze images of your bodily excretions and detect issues like blood, while also providing insights into your gut health and hydration levels. To access your health data, you’ll need to sign in using a fingerprint sensor, ensuring that only you can track your bathroom habits—just remember to wash your hands before you log out! An annual subscription fee, ranging from $70 to $156 depending on the plan, grants you access to all your health stats via a companion app.
With the push for smarter home technologies, it seems the toilet was the next obvious step. Kohler ensures your data is protected with end-to-end encryption, promising that their sensors are focused solely on your toilet’s contents rather than anything else—no peeping here!
However, Kohler does warn that the technology may struggle with darker toilet colors. Perhaps they’ll consider an upsell model with added lighting features or even an olfactory sensor to take health monitoring to the next level. Who knows? We might one day have a gadget that tracks how long you spend on the throne or sends alerts when it's time for a deep clean. Just imagine the possibilities!
Kohler's innovative approach to health awareness is certainly one way to encourage us to be more in tune with our bodies, though some may find it a bit bizarre. And let’s be honest: the marketing images of fit people sipping water while contemplating life over a toilet bowl are hilariously out of touch. But hey, if it gets people talking about their health, maybe it's worth a chuckle!
