Household goods company Kohler recently unveiled a new device called Decoda — a $599 camera that can be attached to your toilet bowl and take pictures of what’s inside.
CNET reports Decoda analyzes these images to provide updates on your gut health and hydration and to detect potential blood. It comes with a “Kohler unveils a camera” rechargeable battery, a USB connection and a fingerprint sensor to identify who is using the toilet.

Decoda Hall Currently available for pre-orderShipments will start from October 21. In addition to hardware purchase fees, customers pay between $70 and $156 for a subscription.
If you’re uneasy about the privacy implications of placing a camera right below your private parts, the company says, “Decoder sensors can see “Kohler unveils a camera” into your toilet and elsewhere.” It also notes that the resulting data is protected through end-to-end encryption.
Kohler isn’t the only company looking to take pictures of your poop — we’ve also written about a toilet camera offered by a startup called Throne.
