Home goods company Kohler has unveiled a new device called Dekoda, a $600 camera that can be attached to a toilet to collect health information.
TechCrunch reports that the device analyzes images to provide information about the user’s gut health and hydration levels, as well as potentially detecting blood. The camera is equipped with a battery, a USB port, and a fingerprint sensor to identify the user.
Kohler claims to ensure data security with a fingerprint scanner and end-to-end encryption, and assures that the camera uses «discrete optics» that only captures results, not parts of your body.
«Dekoda sensors only see your toilet and nothing else,» the startup says.
The device is currently available for pre-order, with shipping scheduled for October 21st.
Earlier, AI startup Calmara offered a somewhat unusual service based on artificial intelligence, which involves taking photographs of genitals. According to the developers, this should be done before sex to make sure that the partner does not have sexually transmitted diseases.
