Wellness tracking products provider Casana has launched the Smart Seat, a smart toilet seat designed to automatically monitors blood pressure trends, heart rate, heart rate variability, blood oxygen, and respiratory rate at home. The goal is to give adults effortless, daily health tracking with nothing to wear, charge, or learn, the company said.

Unlike Apple Watch and Oura, the Smart Seat runs on a two-year battery, installs in minutes and automatically recognizes up to five household members, according to Casana. It does not use a camera or microphone. Health data is encrypted and only shared at the user’s discretion. All readings appear as wellness trends measured against a user’s own normal rates and are automatically captured in the Smart Seat companion app. Casana said it only takes a few readings a week to develop a clear picture of what’s normal, and to notice when something changes.

Casana CEO Olivia Lew said the company spent more than a decade designing something “that asks nothing of you.” A user just sits down, and their health is tracked. “We want folks to feel confident staying in their homes and give their families peace of mind by integrating into something everyone already does, every single day,’’ she noted. “For the first time, staying ahead of your health at home doesn’t require a single behavior change.”

A study by CareScout found that 75 percent of adults 50+ want to stay in their own homes as they age and the median nursing home costs more than $6,200 per month, with private rooms running $9,800 to $11,300. With 1 in 3 people abandoning their health wearable within six months, Casana said most health trackers don’t stick.

Casana’s clinical research and validation include an arterial-line study and international patents on the Smart Seat’s underlying technology. The launch also follows the FDA’s 2026 General Wellness: Policy for Low Risk Devices guidance, which created regulatory room for at-home wellness vitals. The Smart Seat is among the first consumer products built for this framework, the company said.

The Smart Seat replaces an existing toilet seat and looks completely normal, Casana said. It recognizes up to five registered people in a user’s home and only tracks their readings. Guests can use it normally since it won’t calculate vitals for anyone who isn’t registered. It is intended as a wellness device for general monitoring–not for medical use, so it does not replace a doctor ‘s diagnosis or blood pressure cuff.

Setup takes a few minutes, and there’s nothing to wear or charge, the company said, adding that if you can use a simple app, you can use the Smart Seat.

The Smart Seat is among the first consumer products built for this framework. The company is backed by General Catalyst, Matrix Partners, Morningside, Outsiders Fund, Kaiser Permanente, and Bemis Manufacturing, the world’s largest toilet seat maker. The Smart Seat is designed and manufactured in Rochester, New York.

The Smart Seat is priced at $199 for the seat and the first full year of service. After the first year, service continues at approximately $19.99 per month. Limited units are now available.
