Withings' U-Scan Is the First Gadget You'll Actually Want to Drop in the Toilet

The device provides hands-free urine analysis for up to three months between charges.

Inside the U-Scan is a replaceable cartridge, good for about three months, filled with dozens of test pods into which urine is injected. Chemical reactions then occur when one or several biomarkers are detected, producing specific colors that are analyzed by an optical sensor. After the test is complete, the remaining fluids are pumped out of the U-Scan and back into the toilet.

The results of the U-Scan’s tests are shared over wifi to Withings’ private servers and made available through the company’s accompanying mobile apps, which allows the results and each user’s personal health data to be tracked over time. There’s no timeline for when U-Scan will be available in the United States—Withings is still developing it for the US market and it will require FDA clearance first—but the starter kit will go on sale in Europe next year for €499.
