Now your tech is getting in on the potty talk.
It wouldn’t be CES without something smart-bathroom related, and after the last few years of techified toilets, showers and plumbing systems, we were bound to see more. Enter Withings, mostly known for its smartwatches and smart scales, and which CNET’s Jessica Rendall reports is showing off a new toilet sensor designed to measure your body health from your pee.
“Urine will flow to a small collection inlet, which the company says can differentiate between urine and external liquid, such as toilet water,” she writes. “A thermal sensor detects the presence of urine, and it’s moved to a test pod. When the analysis is finished, waste is released from the device and disappears with a flush.”
The results are routed to the French company’s app on your phone.
The device hasn’t been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration yet, so no launch or pricing info for the US, but you can buy the sensors in Europe for a starting price of 500 euros (approximately $530, £440, AU$775) later this year.
