Kohler has launched the Dekoda, a novel $599 camera that attaches to toilet bowls to analyze waste for health monitoring. This device is designed to provide users with insights into their gut health and hydration levels, and it may even detect the presence of blood in waste. The Dekoda includes features such as a rechargeable battery, USB connectivity, and a fingerprint sensor to identify users, ensuring personalized data collection. Customers can pre-order the device, with shipments expected to start on October 21. Additionally, users will need to subscribe to a service costing between $70 and $156 for ongoing health insights. Kohler has addressed privacy concerns by stating that the camera only captures images of the toilet bowl and employs end-to-end encryption to secure the data.
