Quick Summary#

Urinalysis company Vivoo has introduced two new products at CES 2026 designed to monitor personal health metrics. The flagship product is the Smart Toilet, a device that attaches to existing toilet bowls to track hydration levels. The company also unveiled the Hygenic FlowPad, a menstrual pad capable of monitoring hormonal health.

The Smart Toilet represents an evolution of a product originally announced in 2023. It replaces a previous design that used reactive testing strips with a new system utilizing optical sensors. This allows for non-contact testing by collecting a small sample in a pocket-shaped cup before release. The device triggers readings via a smartphone app, with data pushed directly to the user's device. Battery life is a significant feature, lasting for more than 1,000 measurements before requiring a recharge.

Simultaneously, Vivoo announced the Hygenic FlowPad. This product infuses a standard menstrual pad with microfluidics capable of monitoring factors such as Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSI). This marker is used to assess fertility, ovarian health, and perimenopause. To view results, the wearer scans the pad with their phone camera using Vivoo's application.

Vivoo Smart Toilet: Hydration Tracking#

The Vivoo Smart Toilet is a clip-on device designed to keep an eye on a user's hydration status. It utilizes optical sensors to analyze urine specific gravity. This metric is a key indicator of hydration: dense urine suggests dehydration, while thin urine may indicate over-hydration or more serious conditions such as diabetes or renal failure.

Unlike its predecessor, which relied on reactive testing strips, the new Smart Toilet collects a small sample in a pocket-shaped cup. This allows for non-contact testing before the sample is released. The process is initiated through a dedicated smartphone application. Once the analysis is complete, the results are pushed to the user's device.

Battery performance is a major selling point for the device. Vivoo claims the battery will last for more than 1,000 measurements before needing a recharge. The battery pack is positioned on the outside of the toilet bowl, a design choice that allows users to recharge and clean the sensor without uninstalling it from the toilet.

Competitive Edge Over Withings#

While Vivoo does not explicitly name competitors, the company made direct comparisons to chemical cartridge-based tests, implicitly referencing products like those from Withings. The company boasted that its product vastly exceeds the limited number of monthly readings offered by chemical cartridge competitors.

The specific advantages highlighted include:

  • Battery Life: Capable of 1,000 tests on a single charge.
  • Convenience: The external battery pack allows for recharging without uninstalling the sensor.
  • Cleaning: The design facilitates regular cleaning without the hassle of removing the unit.

These features address common pain points associated with maintaining smart toilet accessories, aiming to provide a more seamless user experience compared to existing market options.

Hygenic FlowPad: Hormone Monitoring 🩸#

At the same event, Vivoo announced the Hygenic FlowPad. This is a menstrual pad infused with microfluidics technology. It is designed to monitor biological markers directly from menstrual fluid.

The primary focus of the FlowPad is monitoring Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSI). FSI is a critical marker for:

  • Fertility status
  • Ovarian health
  • Perimenopause

The workflow for the FlowPad involves the user removing the pad and scanning it with their phone camera. This scan connects to Vivoo's app to display the collected data, similar to the company's other at-home testing products. Currently, there is no confirmed release date for the FlowPad, but the company aims to price it between $4 and $5 per pad.

Pricing and Availability#

The Vivoo Smart Toilet is currently available for pre-order. The pricing structure is tiered based on when customers place their orders.

Early Bird Pricing:

  • Price: $99
  • Subscription: None required
  • Shipping: March batch
  • Second Batch: June availability (same price)

General Sale (Late 2026):

Customers who miss the early bird batches will have to wait until September 2026 for general sale. At that time, the price will increase to $129. Furthermore, a monthly subscription fee of $6 will be required.
