Privacy issues aside, I think having a camera to monitor stools and urine color is an excellent way to gauge health. I hope the folks at Kohler can make this happen.
There are some privacy issues you can't set aside.
The status quo is that I have enough skin in the game when it comes to my health, that if something doesn't feel or look normal (and I didn't just eat a lot of beets), I go to the doctor. It would save me an annual subscription cost, too, and it's a big upfront cost for when Kohler no longer wants to support it (a lot of people have Nest thermostats that are losing all of their useful functionality in a few days).
If this helps people with specific conditions, that's great, but, I'm having a hard time picturing someone who is so out of touch with their body that they will pay for this and follow its recommendations.
I have something called eyes and they come preinstalled and included with my system. I carry them with me everywhere. They are multifunctional for many other applications too. They do not have a subscription model either. They even come with a built in, extremely efficient power plant that produces energy for them endlessly for around 80-something years by simple input of quality biomatter.
These "eyes". Do they save data to a database? Is that database query able by say, your doctor with actual usefulness? What got logged on March 12th at 2:43 AM, 2003? Can you show it to someone else for them to analyze, or do they have to rely on your expert opinion?
Is your data corrupted? Yes, the data is saved to a database. Yes, that database is queryable by me, an even more efficient path than a third party querying something as ridiculous as a database of stool pictures? At least you could have used a contemporary "AI analyzed" trope.
But besides the point, are you like some vested interest in poop-cam? Or why all the intense defense of this ridiculous idea? Is it your baby I am pointing flaws out in through some satire?

Okay, then it should be easy to answer:
What got logged on March 12th at 2:43 AM, 2003?
Or even just last month? Do you know how the average amount of mass has changed over the last 6 months with any accuracy, or are you eyeballing it and assuming that there's no variation?

Rule of thumb: Ad hominem never makes your position stronger.
Glad that you're taking the first step toward resiliency. At times, big outages like these are necessary to give a good reason why the company should Multicloud. When things are working without problems, no one cares to listen to the squeaky wheel.
