Throne has introduced a novel toilet accessory at CES 2026 designed to analyze waste using computer vision. This device attaches to the side of the toilet bowl, employing a camera to monitor bowel movements and urination. Its primary function is to track various aspects of your waste, including frequency, texture, size, and volume, providing insights into your gut health.
Developed with input from Whoop co-founder John Capodilupo, the hardware aims to establish your baseline health and detect any deviations. This data is particularly noted as vital for managing symptoms associated with GLP-1 drug usage. The device features a battery life of one month per charge and includes a long USB-C power cable for convenience.
Pre-orders are now open for $340, with an additional $6 monthly membership required. The product is slated for release in February 2026. While its efficacy is yet to be tested, it represents a significant step in at-home health monitoring.
