In the category of connected objects for health presented at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, I am asking for the U-Scan. New from the French Withings, the device is presented as a small pebble 90 millimeters in diameter which is placed in the toilet bowl to collect small urine samples discreetly in order to analyze them. Thanks to connectivityBluetoothand Wi-Fi, the data is then transmitted to a companion app on mobile.
With this, users can, for example, know if theirvitamin C levelsare sufficiently high, if the pH is correct or if they are dehydrated. Signs that are not always easy to detect yourself and which can then be very useful for health professionals.
A device already rewarded
The Withings U-Scan was crowned with aCES Innovation Awardfor this 2023 edition, alongside other major players in the sectorlike Samsung. Priced at 499.95 euros all the same, the device will be launched in Europe in the second quarter but we do not know the exact release date at the moment. Please note that this amount will only be valid for one cartridge provided in the box, which will then need to be recharged approximately every three months. A subscription will be offered for those who wish.
In the event that several members of the same family occupy the home, Withings explains that it has developed technology toknow who is in the corner. This is based on information such as the speed of the jet, the distance or even the dispersion to know the profile to analyze. Note that marketing is also planned for the United States, following FDA approval.
Tips for improving
The U-Scan companion app will also provide recommendations for eating or drinking better based on the results obtained by the test. Women will also be able to predict their ovulation, as also suggestedl’Apple Watch Series 8.
It will be possible to use the U-Scan with aiPhoneor an iPod touch, thanks to the availability of the associated platform on the App Store. Finally, note that the battery also has an autonomy of three months.
