The Beam Toothbrush uses smart technology to keep track of people's brushing activities. It is quite similar to the gadgets used to monitor fitness routines and other activities that can often fall to the waste side if people are not diligent about it. The CEO behind the cutting-edge Beam Toothbrush, Alex Frommeyer, explains, "The Beam toothbrush is the first app-connected toothbrush. Nothing about how you brush your teeth changes at all, but what we can do while you’re brushing your teeth does change."
Basically, the Beam Toothbrush is equipped with a sensor that reads and records brushing behaviours. Once synced to the accompanying app, people are able to set more realistic brushing goals to improve their overall daily oral health.
