"Behold: Dekoda, Kohler's new toilet cam. No, not that type of toilet cam: this one only shoots pictures down at what is inside the bowel, sending the snaps to an app that analyzes stool samples and rates your gut health. The Dekoda can be yours for $599, plus an annual subscription fee. Kohler's new product joins Throne, a $319 offering from an Austin-based startup. Throne captures stool and hydration patterns, hands-free and automatically,"
"Clearly Zizek has not spent enough time on TikTok; in an optimization-obsessed world, stoolgazing has become nearly as popular as sleep-tracking or counting steps. People share their poop logs on the app, recording every time they number two each month. I have pooped 329 days this year, one woman said in a 2024 TikTok. A poop weighs about [lb] to 1lb. So if you take it at , that's about 131 pounds that I pooped this year."
Smart toilets and add-on cameras now capture images of stool, upload them to apps, and analyze samples to rate gut health. Kohler's Dekoda costs $599 plus an annual subscription and joins Throne, a $319 device that records stool and hydration patterns hands-free and automatically. Social platforms have normalized sharing stool logs and tracking bowel movements as a form of optimization. Users quantify frequency, weight, and patterns. Company leaders frame fecal analysis as a source of health insights. Clinical tools such as the Bristol stool scale classify samples into seven types, with types three and four seen as ideal.
