Network for collaborating personal care devices
First Claim
1. A system for modifying a user'"'"'s oral care program, the system comprising:
- a first personal care device adapted to perform an oral care function and configured to obtain sensor data for at least a portion of the user'"'"'s oral cavity; and
a second personal care device in communication with the first personal care device;
wherein the second personal care device is configured to receive the obtained sensor data directly from the first personal care device, and further configured to modify, based on the obtained sensor data, a function of the second personal care device; and
wherein an algorithm to modify personal care is used for analyzing the obtained sensor data and modifying the function of the second personal care device, and the modification is performed automatically without any input from or notice to the user.

Abstract
A method (400) for modifying a user'"'"'s oral care program. The method includes the steps of: (i) providing (410) a network (200) comprising a first personal care device (10a) in communication with a second personal care device (10b); (ii) cleaning (420) at least a portion of the oral cavity using the first personal care device; (iii) obtaining (440), while cleaning with the first personal care device, sensor data for the at least a portion of the oral cavity; (iv) communicating (450) the obtained sensor data to the second personal care device; and (v) modifying (460), based on the communicated sensor data, a function of the second personal care device.
