Gaming Toothbrush on IBM Cloud for more exciting and useful experiences

Children as their health are at the core of our major preoccupations. 

Increasingly the combination of smart technologies, apps and devices is bringing up new experiences that are helping us to worry less.   

Grush for instance is leveraging IBM Cloud’s cognitive capabilities for its interactive gaming toothbrush for children to turn brushing into a real-time interactive app on mobile devices through Bluemix and the Watson Analytics API. 

Grush can capture thousands of data points while a child is brushing and sends them via Bluetooth to the IBM Cloud, where they are analyzed and turned into fun mobile brushing games. 

Children can therefore wipe away monsters in the areas of the mouth that have not been brushed. Then, children’s parents and dentists can track their brushing.
