Oral-B Genius 8000 intelligent toothbrush helps brushers to clean their teeth more effectively

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.
