Ausgestattet mit Sensoren und KI versprechen intelligente Toiletten, den Flüssigkeitshaushalt, die Darmgesundheit und sogar das Krebsrisiko zu überwachen – wenn Benutzer den Ick-Faktor überwinden können.

“This is the dream,” declares Will Bulsiewicz. The gastroenterologist is gently cradling a dried piece of feces with his bare hands and chatting breezily on The Diary of a CEO podcast. Careful not to disturb its contours, he decides the specimen — resembling an oversize Snickers bar from a distance — ranks a Bristol 4.
“That’s real poop,” host Steven Bartlett interjects.
“It’s lovely,” Bulsiewicz replies, removing neither hand. “The Bristol 4,” he says, referring to the ideal score on the Bristol Stool Form Scale, the medical rubric for assessing fecal matter, “is the classic where I come out, walking out of the bathroom in slow motion, rock music is jamming, and doves are flying in slow motion, and I am such a stud.”
During their hourslong exchange, the pair bantered about bathroom habits — the average person poops 1.7 times a day — and geeked out over how short-chain fatty acids act as a lubricant for stool. While it’s not a typical Bartlett episode, such reverence for bowel movements, as though each were a freshly discovered Rodin, no longer feels fringe. Fascination with fecal data has moved well beyond the biohacker manosphere and Bryan Johnson acolytes.
This year industry giants Toto Ltd. and Kohler Co. introduced smart toilets capable of analyzing what lands in the bowl, joining a cluster of startups betting on the same idea. Their conviction: People are quite literally perched atop an untapped reservoir of data that could improve health outcomes and even save lives.
