Kohler Health has introduced the Dekoda, a $599 device that attaches to toilet rims to monitor users’ health through optical sensors. The gadget analyzes waste for blood detection while tracking gut health and hydration levels. Users authenticate through fingerprint scanning and pay annual subscription fees ranging from $70 to $156 based on their chosen plan. The device connects via USB and operates on rechargeable batteries. Kohler emphasizes data security through fingerprint verification and end-to-end encryption. “Dekoda’s sensors see down into your toilet and nowhere else,” the company states. The accompanying mobile application provides daily health analysis and long-term trend tracking. However, Kohler acknowledges the technology struggles with dark-colored toilet bowls. (Story URL)
