A clean bill of health from your dentist isn’t the only reward you’ll get with this Bluetooth-enabled toothbrush. Keeping track of your good brushing habits through the toothbrush’s app can earn you real rewards.
The Beam Brush plays two minutes of music while you brush, so you can scrub your pearly whites the recommended amount of time, while the tracking sensor will let you track your brushing habits. The rewards layer built into the app will give users real stuff for good oral hygiene: video games, movie tickets, plus deals on purses, shoes and clothes.
The Beam Brush is the first app-connected toothbrush. A sensor embedded in the upper part of the brush tracks your activity and syncs it to the company’s app on your smartphone via Bluetooth. The free app is available for your Android or iPhone device. By recording this data, you can get a better picture of your overall dental hygiene habits.
The two minute music-timer idea actually works. Beam says people are 50% more likely to brush for the full time, which is much better than the average brushing time of 46 seconds.
The app will also show you your brushing habits, like what time of day you brushed, or if you’ve missed a brushing. It’s displayed on daily, weekly and monthly charts which can be emailed to your dentist.
