Not as in a blue coloured toothbrush, but an actual toothbrush with bluetooth enabled on it. Don’t believe me? Check this out:
Procter & Gamble’s subsidiary Oral-B will unveil what it says is the world’s first Bluetooth-enabled ToothBrush at next week’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Part of the company’s Smart Connected Bathroom idea, the innovative device will provide users with “excellent control” over their oral care through an Android or iOS application.
It’s said to come with the following features:
- Two Way communication – The Brush sends data about your brushing habits to the application and you can use the application to personalize your brushing.
- Delivers Expert Guidance with Focused Care – Dentists can use insights from the patient’s brushing history and based on diagnosis, they can personalize the brushing experience based on the needs.
- Programs Personal Brush Settings – You can control the brush with your smartphone as a remote and set basic setting options.
- Stores Your Data – Tracks details about how you brush and stores it in the free to download app for iOS and Android devices.
This makes me wonder what we’ll have next. Smart toilet paper that teaches you how to wipe? Or better yet maybe bluetooth condoms that alert you if they pop or not. For the ladies there could also be bluetooth pregnancy tests and tampons that send statistical data to your smartphone so that it’ll tell you if you’re pregnant or how fast your flow is! The possibilities are endless!
