Self monitoring of activity levels using accelerometer activated devices like Striiv and FitBit is all the rage these days, and now the field is expanding into dentistry thanks to the Beam Brush. The device transmits data about its use via Bluetooth to a matching smartphone app that keeps track of when and for how long the brush was used for. Though the brush itself is not motorized, and it’s not clear what the benefits are of keeping brushing data around, it seems like a nifty tool to help you keep an eye on yourself or on your kids’ brushing habits.
GIGAOM is reporting that the brush will be available next month priced at $50 for the base and $3 for a replacement brush head. No word on whether there are plans for a wireless dental floss product.
