"Throne is a toilet-mounted computer that uses cameras and microphones to analyze your bowel movements, which is a sentence we did not expect to type this week. Designed to establish a personal "baseline" for your bathroom habits, it aims to flag changes that could indicate digestive or metabolic issues, including for people on GLP-1 drugs. We can't speak to its effectiveness yet... but if knowledge is power, this thing might know way too much."
"Vivoo looked at at-home health tracking and decided the bathroom was still underutilized. Alongside its clip-on smart toilet that analyzes your hydration by literally monitoring your pee, the company also unveiled a menstrual pad infused with microfluidics that can track fertility and hormone markers once you scan it with your phone. It's a bold reminder that CES 2026 is fully committed to quantifying everything - even the stuff we'd rather not discuss over brunch."
CES 2026 featured a range of unconventional consumer gadgets that pushed privacy and practicality boundaries. Throne is a toilet-mounted computer that uses cameras and microphones to analyze bowel movements, establishing a personal baseline and flagging digestive or metabolic changes, including effects from GLP-1 drugs. Vivoo introduced a clip-on device to analyze hydration from urine and a Hygienic FlowPad menstrual pad with microfluidics that tracks fertility and hormone markers when scanned by a phone. Lenovo revealed the Legion Pro Rollable, a 16-inch gaming laptop whose display physically expands into an ultra-wide format for immersive simulations. Several exhibits prioritized health tracking and physical transformation over proven necessity.
