Withings U-Scan Urine Anlayzer

What’s happening:
Withings has officially entered the home health-dashboard era with the U-Scan, a toilet-mounted device that converts urine into actionable biometric data. The flagship cartridge, U-Scan Nutrio, focuses on nutritional and hydration biomarkers — think vitamin C levels, ketone presence, pH balance and urine specific gravity.

Specifically, the Nutrio cartridge delivers four essential biomarkers:

• Ketones (indicating fat-metabolism and energy substrate shift)
• Vitamin C (nutrition adequacy)
• pH balance (acid-alkaline and metabolic load)
• Specific gravity (hydration status)

Sold as a smart home health accessory, the U-Scan comes with replaceable cartridges (22 measurements each). The Proactive package (2–4 tests/week) and Intensive package (5–7 tests/week) start around $379.95 USD.

Why it matters:
This isn’t just another wellness gadget — it’s a paradigm shift in performance tracking. Urine contains over 3,000 metabolites.Historically, athletes and high-performers tested blood or saliva in the lab; now Withings is bringing that capability into the bathroom. For anyone serious about recovery, nutrition, hydration, and longevity — the U-Scan Nutrio opens a new data channel.

And it’s part of a larger movement: home-installed health monitoring is scaling. Devices like Throne Science (with toilet diagnostics) and Pondo (digestive/hydration AI) are signaling the bathroom as the next frontier for performance tech.

The Playbook Take:
Bathrooms have always been about maintenance. With the U-Scan Nutrio, they’re now becoming performance hubs. If you’re chasing marginal gains in recovery, reaction, and long-term health — you’ll want a toilet that knows as much as you do. Withings leads the pack, but players like Throne Science and Pondo suggest this category is only getting started.
