Bluetooth for white teeth
Oral B, global manufacturer of dental hygiene products, has launched the Pro 5000 Bluetooth 3D toothbrush - an app-powered electric toothbrush that segments your pearlies into four important 'zones'. During your morning brushing ritual, all you need to do is to turn on the Oral B app and start brushing. The app provides colour-coded information of how much bacteria are being killed real-time. In 20 seconds, Oral B promises that one zone of your teeth will be completely bacteria free, when the colour code turns from red to green, after which you can proceed to the next zone. The app also measures how hard you are pressing the brush against your teeth for possible gum damage. The moment you hear an alarm, it's time to be less violent on your teeth and reduce the pressure on your brush. At the end of 120 seconds, your teeth are ready to take on a new day of munch-action. It costs $ 100 at the glonal Amazon site.
Smart water bottles and more
Fitness bands are going beyond just measuring the number of steps you walk in a day. Oaxis, the Shenzhen-based smart devices company has created three products that work in tandem to provide end-to-end health and fitness tracking.
One, a fitness tracker with optical real-time heart rate monitor, O2, that co-ordinates your pulse rate with age and height and number of steps taken. Two, a smart water bottle, Vita, that is connected via Bluetooth to the heart rate monitor that 'pings' the water bottle to vibrate when you are dehydrated, and a mini digital display screen on the bottle that tells you how clean or unclean the water is. The water bottle also keeps track of how much water has been consumed.
The third device is the Glo smart body analyser -- a smart weighing scale that sits in your house. When you return home, you stand on the device which syncs your weight, amount of water consumed, number of steps taken, and provides an overall health analysis. The 3 product-combo is being launched worldwide in September for around $ 140.
