Smart-watch based gamified oral hygiene monitoring system
Leverage smart-watch sensors for real-time oral hygiene tracking and gamification. Integrates with popular health apps to promote better brushing habits through data-driven insights and interactive goals.
Overview
The smart-watch based gamified oral hygiene monitoring system utilizes the built-in accelerometers and gyroscopes in smart-watches to automatically detect and analyze brushing activities. This solution integrates seamlessly with popular health tracking apps like Apple Health and Fitbit, providing users with real-time feedback on their brushing techniques. By gamifying the experience with goals like maintaining "2 brushings/day" streaks and offering educational content, the system aims to improve oral hygiene habits effectively.
