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

Throne unveiled its toilet computer at CES 2026, a device employing computer vision to analyze human waste. This device, co-founded by a Whoop creator, monitors bowel movements and urination patterns using a camera and microphone. The technology aims to establish a baseline for your gut health, identifying deviations from your normal state. Throne's hardware focuses on frequency, texture, size, and volume of waste output. The collected data is particularly useful for users of GLP-1 drugs, helping them manage related side effects. The device boasts a month-long battery life, with a long USB-C cable for convenient charging. While its effectiveness remains unconfirmed, Throne plans to test this device when it launches in February. Pre-orders are currently open, with the device priced at $340 along with a $6 monthly subscription. The system strives to create personalized insights into digestive well-being through advanced monitoring. This innovative approach to personal health marks a notable advancement in bathroom technology.
