Home goods company Kohler recently unveiled a new device called the Dekoda — a $599 camera that can be attached to your toilet bowl and take pictures of what’s inside.

CNET reports that the Dekoda analyzes these images in order to provide updates on your gut health and hydration, and to potentially detect blood. It also comes with a rechargeable battery, a USB connection, and a fingerprint sensor to identify who’s using the toilet.

The Dekoda is currently available for pre-orderwith shipments scheduled to begin on October 21. In addition to the hardware purchase fee, customers will need to pay between $70 and $156 for a subscription.

If you’re uneasy about the privacy implications of putting a camera right below your private parts, the company says, “Dekoda’s sensors see down into your toilet and nowhere else.” It also notes that the resulting data is secured via end-to-end encryption.

Kohler isn’t the only company seeking to take pictures of your poop — we’ve also written about the toilet camera offered by a startup called Throne.
