Sounds like the crappiest data source for AI training yet.

But in all seriousness, of course they can access the data. Otherwise who else would process it to give any health results back? I don't think encryption in transit is relevant to privacy concerns because the concerns are about such data being tied to you at all, in any way. At the same time, yes, this could product valuable health information.

Their better bet would be to allow full anonymity, so even if there is a leak (yeah, the puns write themselves), there is never a connection between this data and your person.

You could have a classifier running on-device that sends summary data (rather than raw images) back to Kohler.

Yeah, it’s kinda like such a reasonable thing too

Doing on device compute is probably expensive and would prohibit such a product based on the economics but ITS A GENITAL CAM

Chuck Berry doesn’t see your point but would like to talk more.

Well, this waste analyzing piece of e-waste costs $600, so you could probably cram a lot of inference horsepower in there if you wanted to.

And the heat from the processor(s) would make for a comfy user experience in the wintertime.

Isn’t it more of a poo cam if it’s pointed down?

Only for the very well endowed since it points down. Though hopefully they're doing something other than let their bits dangle in the toilet water.

Well it could be processed on-device.

That would only work after they're done training the ai models.

So like after the alpha and beta phases, when they have an actual product worthy of selling?

It's "of course" for very knowledgeable people, normal people just assume that it means guaranteed privacy
