When my dog My daughter sniffs certain places during our morning walk, which she calls “checking her emails.” Yes, the animal kingdom is right: urine transmits a wealth of health information, and by analyzing it, you can access important data about your body without having to get dressed. Fitness tracker 24/7 or Get stuck with needles.
Over the past few months, I’ve been inundated with a constant stream of urine trackers, including… Vivo The smart toilet is the latest. The smart sensor appeared for the first time in Consumer Electronics Show 2026 It went on sale this week. It costs $99 and is relatively affordable and installs inside the bowl of any toilet.
When you’re ready to go about your business, connect the sensor to its companion mobile app using Bluetooth. The sensor collects a sample for testing and uses optical sensors that measure the specific gravity of your urine. The built-in processing unit then uses special algorithms to let you know if you are hydrated or not. Most importantly, the device uses antibacterial ingredients, contains antifungal nanotechnology, is designed for over 1,000 uses, and is completely touchless.
Huge range of options
I’ve been spending more time on the toilet lately than I have since potty training my kids. I recently tested Withings U Scanwhich at $380 is a much more expensive and more premium urine analyzer. There are two versions: Nutrio checks ketone levels, hydration status, and urine acidity (basically, for diabetes), and Calci checks calcium content in your urine, an early indicator that you may have kidney stones.
Like a smart toilet, the U-Scan opens and uses a cartridge to take urine samples. This means it’s not completely waterproof, and you have to straighten as you go, which necessitated some fun but necessary conversations about placement with my husband. Also, you have to take it out of the toilet to clean it and charge it when you change the cartridge, which is every month or so. It helps if cartridge replacements come with a pair of rubber gloves.
However, this is a better and safer process than what happens with the Kohler Dekoda, which was also announced last year. It’s basically a toilet camera; It takes pictures of everything you put in your toilet and uses artificial intelligence to analyze it and make recommendations Gut health. Only, it turns out that the camera was not actually end-to-end encrypted Encrypted end-to-end. It also costs $599.
Float your boat
Just over a decade ago, the idea of someone wanting to track what happened in their toilet was so universally disgusting that Adult Swim He mocked the concept. But now, we not only track our steps and heartbeats, but… Test our blood and Our spit. The idea of monitoring what goes into our toilets doesn’t seem so strange anymore.
