That’s the first product to come from Austin-based health startup, Throne. The company is currently accepting preorders for its toilet seat that will photograph your poop for health reasons. The images are then analyzed by Throne’s AI model, “artificial gut intelligence,” which is “trained by physicians to help you understand what your waste is trying to tell you about your health.”
Would you want a toilet seat with a camera?
Answer: Well, if you do, there’s now one you can buy.
We just have to expect cameras to be everywhere these days. Literally everywhere, even in the toilet.

Since there are cameras and AI involved, Throne has a dedicated privacy and security page on its website with all the information you might need about how it plans to ensure users’ privacy. The camera is designed to only capture images of the toilet bowl, but the company employs “image recognition technology to automatically delete any non-relevant images” just in case. All images are anonymized and not shared with third parties, and users can contact the company at any time to request access to their information or delete their account.
