Yep. When you pee splashes down in your toilet, it’s the latest data stream to analyze.

Vivoo, a personalized wellness tech startup, today announced the commercial availability of the Vivoo Smart Toilet, a universal optical clip-on device that transforms any toilet or urinal into a hygienic, daily health-monitoring tool.

Building on Vivoo’s rapidly growing ecosystem of at-home tests, including hormone, fertility, hydration, pH, inflammation, and UTI diagnostics, the Smart Toilet marks a milestone in the company’s mission to make proactive health insight effortless, accessible, and part of natural daily routines.

First announced at CES 2023, the improved optical technology now debuts with a hydration test, available for purchase starting January 5, 2026, at a price of $99.

The Vivoo Smart Toilet will be showcased at the Vivoo booth 54118. Also showcased and debuting at CES 2026, is the Vivoo FlowPad, the first hygienic microfluidic pad designed to turn menstrual blood into hormone insights.

“Hydration is fundamental to energy, cognition, skin health, metabolism, and longevity, yet most people have no reliable or continuous way to measure it,” said Miray Tayfun, CEO of Vivoo, in a statement. “As the smart-toilet market fills with products costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars, we are taking a different path.”

Tayfun added, “By offering Vivoo Smart Toilet for just $99, we’re democratizing this technology to make daily health insights accessible to everyone. Now, checking hydration becomes as effortless as using the bathroom, turning a routine habit into a meaningful health moment with no friction or behavior change.”

The Vivoo Smart Toilet clips onto any toilet in seconds to automatically analyze urine using advanced optical specific-gravity sensors, delivering continuous, clinically reliable hydration data without strips, cartridges, or any physical contact.

By relying on lightwave technology instead of chemical reagents, Vivoo brings a level of analysis once limited to clinical laboratories directly into the home at a fraction of the cost and with remarkable accuracy. This approach enables fast, repeatable, high-precision hydration readings without consumables, making daily monitoring both practical and accessible.

With this innovation, Vivoo is helping bring meaningful health monitoring into the bathroom, turning one of the most universal daily rituals into a simple, automatic source of everyday insight.

Easy as 1, 2, pee: How the Vivoo Smart Toilet works

Designed with hygiene, simplicity, and universality at its core, the Vivoo Smart Toilet clips onto any toilet, instantly transforming it into a continuous hydration-tracking device.

Once installed, users simply go about their normal routine while the smart toilet automatically captures and analyzes a user’s hydration status.  During toilet use, urine is passively collected into a designated sampling zone without requiring any additional user involvement, the sample is then tested and returned to the toilet bowl simultaneously.

By pressing the test button in the connected mobile application, the device immediately initiates the measurement process and delivers results within seconds. During testing, embedded optical sensors measure urine specific gravity and occurring data is transmitted to the onboard processing unit, where proprietary algorithms analyze the measurements to estimate the user’s hydration level.

The system performs automatic calibrations and normalization to minimize variability caused by environmental factors or differences in sample volume.  After analysis, results are displayed in the connected mobile application, enabling long-term hydration tracking and the provision of personalized health insights.

The entire process is fully no-touch, with the antibacterial and antifungal nanotechnology coated device naturally self-cleaning with every flush, ensuring effortless hygiene without special cleaning or maintenance.

Built for real-world, high-frequency use, the device delivers more than 1,000 measurements per battery cycle, vastly exceeding the handful of monthly readings offered by chemical cartridge-based tests, and features an externally accessible battery pack that can be replaced quickly without tools or uninstalling the device.

Each measurement is sent instantly to the Vivoo App via Bluetooth, where users receive personalized insights and actionable recommendations based on their hydration status. The system supports up to 15 user profiles in a household—and unlimited users in commercial environments—with automatic user recognition in the app to ensure every reading is assigned to the right person seamlessly and without extra steps. 

Why hydration tracking matters more than ever

Hydration is more than hype and far more important than the old “8 cups a day” mantra suggests. Water drives nearly every system in the body—from energy and cognitive clarity to digestion, circulation, metabolism, and skin health. Even mild dehydration forces the body to work harder, slows thinking, increases fatigue, and can undermine long-term wellness markers like kidney function and healthy aging.

Instead of relying on thirst, which is often a poor indicator, Vivoo’s Smart Toilet turns one of the biggest blind spots in everyday health into a powerful, actionable signal. By measuring hydration where it’s most accurately assessed, the device transforms a routine bathroom visit into a simple, automatic daily check-in. Paired with actionable insights in the Vivoo App, it helps people feel better today, recover faster tomorrow, and build stronger long-term health habits without effort or guesswork.

Vivoo’s Smart Toilet will ship in three waves while stocks last, beginning January 5, 2026. The first early-bird batch is priced at $99 with no subscription fees and will ship in March. A second $99 batch, also subscription-free, follows in June.

A full commercial rollout begins in September at $129 with a $5.99/month subscription. The device will be available through the Vivoo website, Amazon, and select retail partners.
