VOVO 스마트 비데 Neo TCB 090SA

Elderly and disabled individuals with mobility issues face difficulties with everyday tasks when using the toilet (operating automatic doors, flushing, cleaning, etc.) and are at greater risk of accidents (slipping, difficulty in identifying physical abnormalities in a timely manner). Regular bidets require manual operation and lack health monitoring functions.

VOVO Neo TCB-090SA is designed to address these inconveniences and risks.

It automatically opens and closes the lid and performs bidet cleaning and toilet functions without the need to touch it. In particular, if there is no usage history for 8-10 hours, it automatically sends an SOS notification ('Jindo Program') to the caregiver to check for emergencies.

In addition, the urine analysis sensor on the toilet floor measures real-time health indicators and displays the results on a wall-mounted monitor. Emergency notification and daily health check functions, which are not available in existing bidets, are key differentiators.

It is applied to B2G (local government senior welfare centers, nursing hospitals), B2B (private welfare facilities, disabled welfare centers), and B2C (elderly households). It is a market with high public welfare demand and can also appeal to some high-end smart home consumers.

Korea, Japan, and Europe, where aging and elderly care services are active, are the main markets. Due to the nature of toilet products, safety/hygiene standards of each country must be met, and medical device certifications such as weak excretion (urinalysis) sensors may be required.

In addition, the scope can be expanded through the IT convergence smart home market or remote care service integration.

The technology has been recognized by being selected for the CES Smart Home category. VOVO already has previous award experience in this category (2024). The product is in the commercialization stage and is an actual sales model.

Market expectations are mainly positive as a welfare device in preparation for aging. However, the high price, user resistance (psychological burden of toilet automation), and initial installation burden are challenges.

Overestimated/Underestimated Factors: In terms of function, it provides practical value, but more consumer awareness conversion and market size verification are needed.
