After seeing the oral health of many of his older patients deteriorate drastically, dentist Johan Flyborg started looking for a solution.
Blekinge Institute of Technology Dec 10 2024 After five years of research in applied health technology at the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Sweden, he can show that an innovative, intelligent, powered toothbrush can make a big difference in the oral health and quality of life of older people.
The deterioration in the mouth surprised both me and the patients, and I wondered what it could be due to. Research shows that early and mild cognitive decline often leads to a drastic deterioration in oral health and quality of life. However, I did not find what could be the solution to the problem. That's why I decided to take a closer look at this particular issue.
This means that we can see in real-time where the brush is in the mouth, which teeth have been cleaned for how long, and how hard the toothbrush has been pressed. When the toothbrush is switched off, the feedback is immediate. More than just a toothbrush Johan sees the potential of integrating more functions into the toothbrush. He believes that the brush can also carry sensors for health measurement.
