Will a Smart Toilet Turn the Home Into a Diagnostic Center?

One of the hot products showcased at the recent Consumer Electronic Show (CES) was the smart toilet. In its analyst report on CES highlights, research firm Parks Associates wrote, “Smart toilets are emerging as one of the most practical yet underappreciated connected health technologies, particularly for older adults. Monitoring hydration, urinary health, and gut health can provide early indicators of serious medical issues, including infections and chronic conditions.”

Some companies, such as Kohler and Vivoo, are now selling smart toilets with varying degrees of functionality for consumers to use at home.
