STMicroelectronics today revealed its contributions to Genius 8000 electric toothbrush, an intelligent toothbrush system from Oral-B. STMicroelectronics motion-sensing and control chip inside the toothbrush help develop healthier brushing habits. Brushing incorrectly can negatively affect oral health. To help people brush like their dental professional recommends and avoid these common oral-health issues, the Oral-B GENIUS intelligent toothbrush system combines revolutionary Position Detection technology with Triple Pressure Control and a Professional Timer.
Designed to help you brush like your dentist recommends, the Genius 8000 seamlessly connects with the Oral-B smartphone app via Bluetooth technology to provide you with customized real-time feedback about your brushing habits. ST’s low-power 3-axis accelerometer captures permanently the orientation of the toothbrush handle while the user is brushing. ST’s 8-bit STM8 microcontroller performs pre-processing of the accelerometer data and other housekeeping functions on the GENIUS toothbrush.
The highly advanced Genius 8000 electric toothbrush features a dentist-inspired round head that surrounds and cups each tooth with dynamic oscillating, rotating and pulsating movements to remove up to 100% more plaque than a regular manual toothbrush. The 360 SmartRing with LED lights allows user to personalize his brushing experience with 12 colors while delivering visual feedback on his brushing pressure, brushing time and selected mode.
The new intelligent Genius 8000 electric toothbrush designed by Braun is available for $199.99-$249.99 MSRP.
