The innovative home products brand Kohler has revealed its latest creation, the Dekoda—a sophisticated $599 camera that attaches seamlessly to the interior of your toilet and snaps photos of what’s happening below. As detailed by CNET, the Dekoda employs advanced image analysis to track your digestive wellness and fluid intake, offering valuable alerts on possible blood presence to support proactive health monitoring. Supporting its smart features are a user-replaceable rechargeable battery, a convenient USB interface for charging and data transfer, and a built-in fingerprint reader that ensures only authorized users can access personalized reports.
You can place your preorder for the Dekoda right away, with the first units expected to ship starting October 21. Keep in mind that alongside the one-time device expense, an ongoing yearly membership fee of $70 to $156 is essential for unlocking ongoing analytics and updates. Addressing valid worries about data privacy in such a sensitive location, Kohler emphasizes that the camera’s field of view is strictly limited to the toilet’s depths, capturing nothing beyond. To top it off, every bit of health information generated is protected through comprehensive end-to-end encryption protocols.
