‘End-to-end encrypted’ smart toilet camera is not actually end-to-end encrypted - Infosec.Pub

Kohler, the makers of a smart toilet camera, can access customers’ data stored on its servers, and can use customers’ bowl pictures to train AI.

Why do people want a toilet cam in the first place?

Urine and stool samples can indicate a person’s health and evaluate some conditions, such as over/underhydration or a lack of fiber. If there’s blood in the urine, a picture could allow a doctor to evaluate whether it’s a UTI or a kidney stone.

I’d even say it’s a scenario where machine learning could be used to train a computer to recognize many of those scenarios and offer suggestions to improve one’s health.

Is that worth $600 and a subscription fee when you could learn to recognize those things yourself and take a picture for your doctor if it’s needed? Maybe if you’ve got money to burn.

It you have that much blood in urine or feces, you are in bad shape.

I just post my turds on insta for free assessment by close friends.
