$5,000 Toilet: Vovo Neo Analyzes Your Health and Provides Recommendations

Chinese manufacturer Vovo has unveiled an unusual bathroom device—the Neo smart toilet—that goes far beyond conventional plumbing fixtures. Its key feature is its ability to monitor the user's health using a built-in sensor system and display the data on a separate wall-mounted screen.

One of the Vovo Neo's key features is urine analysis, which allows for monitoring changes in body parameters. The developers haven't forgotten about everyday convenience, either. The device automatically raises and lowers the lid, flushes the bowl automatically, and features a soft backlight for easy nighttime use. Additionally, the toilet can remind you when you need to use the toilet too infrequently, which can be helpful for monitoring the health of elderly family members or those with chronic illnesses.

Comfort is further enhanced by a heated seat, an ultraviolet disinfection system, and a warm-air drying function. All these features make the Neo more than just a decorative element, but a fully-fledged home gadget.

The Vovo Neo smart toilet is priced at $4,999 in the US, underscoring its status as a premium device for those willing to invest in technology and health care in even the most mundane household tasks.
