Abstract
A connected activity tracker for oral health implements is provided for use during oral health care activities carried out daily by a user. A connected activity tracker is provided including an activity sensor that provides activity data for various oral health implements. The connected activity tracker is attached to an oral health implement such that the connected activity tracker is tracking the activity of said oral health implement. Further, the connected activity tracker comprises a transceiver that provides a means for transferring the data from the connected activity tracker to an external medium for viewing and manipulation. Further still, the connected activity tracker is comprised in a system including a data transfer medium (i.e. “smartphone”) and the Cloud, which allows for data transfer between multiple external mediums from the connected activity tracker. The system further allows for passive participation in social games with awards and incentives. The system and connected activity tracker further provide for active participation in oral health games to encourage proper oral health.
