ACESO
Oral hygiene is a daily activity performed by all people. Hence, one can envision a time when this activity can be exploited to infer a wealth of information about the person performing it. In the vision of dental care manufacturers, smart toothbrushes of the future will be able to gather information about the general health of the user and wellbeing. However, until this vision becomes reality, we are proposing to develop the ACESO platform which combines, in an intelligent manner, oral hygiene information with body health and activity parameters. The main functionalities of ACESO are i) monitoring physical health parameters and oral hygiene; ii) reminders for users; iii) maintaining oral care through personalized brushing experience and iv) assessment tools for caregivers. The target market is composed of elderly and professional caregivers (doctors, dentists, hygienists). Our patient-centric approach brings clear benefits for the elderly who will become actively involved in maintaining their health.
