The CES tech show (formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas, the US, was full of health gadgets this year. Connected devices are headed everywhere, even to the toilet bowl.

French firm Withings is launching U-Scan, an at-home urine lab that provides nutrition tips and can tell women where they are in their menstrual cycle.

“It’s the first hands-free, at-home, connected urine analysis lab directly placed into your toilet bowl,” Withings Product Owner Inna Ndaw told Euronews Next.

The results are delivered via WiFi to a smartphone app, which then provides the user with analysis and recommendations on hydration and nutrition, or helps women track their ovulation.

This feature could come in handy for women struggling to conceive, and who may be tired of taking their temperature first thing in the morning or urinating on single-use ovulation tests.

However, Withings cautions that the main purpose of the product is not to help women get pregnant but more help track their menstrual cycle.
