Worldwide
Leader in Oral Care Brings Smartphone Technology to Toothbrushing
for the Well-Connected Bathroom .
Oral-B® will introduce its interactive electric toothbrush – the world's
first of its kind with Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity – at Mobile World Congress
2014 beginning Monday, February 24. As an essential element to the
well-connected bathroom, the product will be showcased in the GSMA Connected
City exhibition space, a realistic city environment showcasing cutting-edge
mobile products and services for the increasingly connected life. Available
for purchase in limited quantities this spring, the product is poised to set
a new standard in personal oral care.
|
This new innovation gives you
unprecedented control over your oral care, and in turn, the outcome of your
dental appointments. Via Bluetooth 4.0 technology, the interactive electric
toothbrush connects to the Oral-B App that provides real-time guidance while
you brush, and records brushing activity as data that you can chart on your
own and share with dental professionals, helping to create smarter and more
personalized brushing routines.
|
Features & Benefits of the
Oral-B App
|
|
Utilizes Two-Way
Communication: Not only does that app receive brushing data and
report it back to you, but you can also program the app so that it
communicates with the brush for personalized brushing.
|
Delivers Expert Guidance
with Focused Care: The purpose of this new technology is not to outsmart
dental professionals, but to work hand-in-hand with them. Dental
professionals can program patients’ brushing routines in the app to help
improve their brushing behaviors and focus on problem zones within the mouth.
|
Programs Personal Brush
Settings: You can use your smartphone as a "remote control"
to customize your brush to your needs, including setting your target session
length and selecting your preferred modes.
|
Stores Your Data: It
is not always convenient or easy to remember to have your smartphone in the
bathroom while you brush, so the Oral-B interactive electric toothbrush
handle can store up to 20 brushing sessions. The data is transferred the next
time the app is connected to the toothbrush, updating your records.
|
Fosters Better Brushing: The
app and interactive electric toothbrush help drive patient compliance, which
determines a large part of the success of dental appointments.
|
Helps You Stay Informed: The
app helps maintain your attention and motivation while brushing with news,
weather and oral care tips.
|
Available for free on iOS
and Android
|
Additionally, pre-tests of the app
have shown that when connected, brushing time increases from less than 60
seconds with a manual toothbrush to two minutes and 16 seconds with an
electric toothbrush, surpassing the dental professional-recommended
two-minute per session.
|
“Oral-B has been a leading
innovator in oral care for more than 60 years, and we’re proud to introduce
this new interactive electric toothbrush with Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity,
which was developed in conjunction with leading dental experts around the
globe,” said Wayne Randall, Vice President, Global Oral Care at
Procter and Gamble. “It provides the highest degree of user interaction to
track your oral care habits to help improve your oral health, and we believe it will have significant impact on the future of personal oral care, providing data-based solutions for oral health, and making the relationship between dental professionals and patients a more collaborative one"

Oral-B’s participation in the GSMA
Connected City marks the first time an oral care brand has debuted its mobile
capabilities at Mobile World Congress, the largest and most premier exhibitor
in mobile developments.
|
“The GSMA Connected City was
created to showcase the most innovative developments in mobile technology and
demonstrate how they will have a positive impact on people’s lives. So we are
delighted to welcome Oral-B,” said Michael O’Hara, Chief Marketing Officer,
GSMA. “The progress of connected devices and machine-to-machine
communications continues to grow at an incredible pace, shaping the world
around us and we hope that visitors to the City will be inspired by what they
see this year.”
