CES 2023: Withings Debuts iPhone-Connected Urine Reader That Goes in Your Toilet

[compwiz1202]

What a brilliant device if it works, but, it may turn you into a hypochondriac as some of these health sensors do. might be useful tool though.

Dr. please help my iPee said I was dead

There’s a bar in central London, whose name I cannot remember. In the toilets they have urinals embedded with sensors and an LED screen set into the wall. When using the urinal you have to pee on the sensors to score points and a little cartoon character on the screen dances about to a musical accompaniment in order to show you your score. Not very medicinal, I’m sorry to say, but good fun. Every bar should have one!

IronPigs minor league park in Allentown PA has that!

 

[compwiz1202]

John Spartan, you have been fined one credit for violation of the urinary morality code.

First the seashells then this?!

 

[compwiz1202]

Yes, i´d like to return this item (throws the piss leaking gadget to the counter).

I can just see the addendum to the return policy hanging plain as day at customer service

No returns for iPee once pissed upon. NO EXCEPTIONS

Can Discovery channel do a documentary on how Withings' developers test these devices at their workstations?

 

[Agent007]

StreamID - lol this is classic should-be April Fools stuff

 

[Eso]

Does it have a built-in camera though?

 

[Reverend Billy]

Can it identify each individual micro brew you've imbibed during an evening out? And, how much you enjoyed it.

 

[askunk]

Waiting for TRUE wireless charging before buying that.

 

[GooseInTheCaboose]

I think the proper phrase is, "Good way to piss $500 down the toilet…"

Lol yes that is an improvement

I have Withings body scale at home and when we have house guests they sometimes jump on the scale, and I get notified about weighing result that was taken by unknown person (it has kind of Weight ID). Withings really need to provide some disclaimer stickers to put on their devices to warn people what information will be shared if they use the device as I never remember to mention it to our guests, and after the fact is too embarrassing to let them know about it

Can't wait for the UrineAnalayzer Mini, plugs directly into your lightning/usb c port and you just piss on your iPhone. Innovation

Oh goodness, no one tell Exact Sciences about this!

 

[dotnet]

Can Apple take this over and call it the "iPee"?

I was thinking pissPod.

 

[dotnet]

Does it have a built-in camera though?

For streaming video? It would need to have an iPee address for that.

 

[4tune8chance]

Interesting device. I wonder if the person who came up with this idea was a whiz kid.

Ok, that’s actually clever.

 

[Xano]

499.95 euros 😂😂😂 already pee myself 😂😂😂. will be the floop of the year.

2 questions!

Does Stream ID use AI?

Can this be used to detect STDs?

 

[kkclstuff]

500 euro, talk about pissin' your money away

 

[SkydiveGuy]

Who wrote this article and didnt think to use the headline "New Streaming Device Released from Withigs"

 

[CarAnalogy]

I could see someone having dates over ans checking for diseases so she could have the perfect child like she did on Species except her power was built into her body

If this thing detects mantis aliens I definitely want one.

Can this be used to detect STDs?

Technically feasible, yes, for some STDs, although that sort of diagnostic requires greater validation than simpler metabolic measures.

But given the posts we’ve already seen on this thread, imagine all the nervous giggling that would ensue when diagnostics like that become available, as they will.

Kidney stones can be a living hell... it was a hell for me for a whole month.. sometimes just worrying when the next bout of pain will come in. Couldn't concentrate on or enjoy anything..

and then the final day 12+ hours of constant pain... Yes this can be a good technology..

But for me, the burden and cost of having to change cartridges every 3 months outweighs what benefit it may give me.. :/ Thankfully I haven't had a stone in years.. now that I'm aware of what it means and how important it is to keep the whole system flushing itself with a high intake of water.. Best wishes friend, may you never get another.

To think that we fear anything else in life more than this…

 

[MacHeritage]

I thought I had seen everything... until now.

 

[ponzicoinbro]

I just got pee-mail from Withings announcing this. I flushed it.

I like Withings though, their products are great quality.

 

[lordhamster]

This seems like a piss-pour idea. May as well flush their R&D money down the toilet.
