Kohler Debuts Dekoda, a $599 Toilet-Mounted Health Sensor With AI Waste Analysis

Shipping starts October 21 with insights available only through a paid Kohler Health membership.

Overview

  • Dekoda attaches to the toilet rim and uses optical spectroscopy with machine-learning to evaluate waste for gut-health and hydration indicators.
  • Its AI is based on the Bristol Stool Chart and trained on more than one million data points, and it can alert users when blood is detected without identifying the source.
  • Preorders are open at $599–$600 with deliveries expected to begin October 21, and results require a Kohler Health membership costing $6.99 per month ($70/year) for individuals or $12.99 per month ($130/year) for families up to five.
  • Results feed into the Kohler Health app with end-to-end encryption, sensors are angled only into the bowl, and a wall-mounted fingerprint remote supports multi-user separation; iOS is supported now with Android listed as coming soon.
  • The unit clamps onto most bowls, includes a removable magnetic battery for charging, and may not perform properly on darker-colored toilets due to reduced lighting.
