Throne, from the co-founder of Whoop, uses computer vision to study your poop

"Throne has rocked up to CES 2026 to show off its forthcoming toilet computer which uses computer vision to study your poop. It hangs from the side of the bowl and has a camera and microphone to track bowel motions and urination and offer feedback. It was co-founded by (activity tracker) Whoop co-founder John Capodilupo, who explained the hardware is designed to understand what your base state is to be able to identify when you fall out of that pattern."

"Capodilupo explained the hardware will look at how often you go, the texture and size of your motions, as well as the volume. The eventual aim is to be able to analyze your gut health, adding that as a GLP-1 user, that sort of data is vital to manage the symptoms of those drugs. The battery lasts for a month on a single charge but you won't be forced to drag it out of the bathroom to re-juice it."

Throne unveiled a toilet-mounted computer at CES 2026 that uses computer vision and a microphone to monitor bowel movements and urination. The device hangs from the side of the bowl and tracks frequency, texture, size and volume of motions to establish a baseline and detect deviations. The company intends to analyze gut health and support users managing GLP-1-related symptoms. The unit’s battery lasts about a month per charge and includes a 13-foot USB-C cable for in-bathroom power. Preorders are open for $340 plus a $6 monthly membership. Efficacy remains unverified pending independent testing; shipping slated for February.
