Kohler unveils a camera for your toilet

Kohler has introduced the Dekoda, a $599 camera designed to attach to your toilet bowl and capture images of its contents. The device analyzes these images to provide insights into gut health, hydration levels, and potentially detect the presence of blood. Equipped with a rechargeable battery, USB connection, and a fingerprint sensor for user identification, the Dekoda aims to offer personalized health monitoring. Shipments are set to begin on October 21, 2025, with an additional subscription fee ranging from $70 to $156 required for ongoing service. Addressing privacy concerns, Kohler assures users that the Dekoda’s sensors only view inside the toilet bowl and nowhere else, and that all collected data is protected with end-to-end encryption. This product reflects a growing trend in health technology that leverages imaging and data analysis for personal wellness, joining other companies exploring similar approaches to monitoring digestive health through stool analysis.
