Playbrush's unique technology
Playbrush’s unique technology does not only measure duration and
regularity - it also measures the position of the toothbrush in
the mouth and provides children with real-time in game feedback
of where to brush. The Playbrush device has been designed as a
unique add-on that attaches to any manual toothbrush, so children
can easily share it and use it with their own toothbrush. This
innovative and award winning gadget was dreamt up and built by
two Austrian and one Nigerian postgraduate. Two years after being
founded, the team, based in London and Vienna, have already sold
100,000 Playbrushes and conquered 25 countries. A cleverly
designed algorithm measures brushing and ensures that the mouth
is cleaned for long enough and thoroughly, and real-time feedback
in the form of statistics and a reward system give children extra
motivation.

About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words.
Fun, y, Effective
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
Playbrush was inspired by Kiwi, 3, who likes youtube videos and
mobile games but does not like to brush his teeth. Kiwi’s mom
would play short videos on youtube on the iPad to get him to
brush but he would just watch the videos happily without moving
the toothbrush in his mouth. We learnt that if Kiwi could
associate short video games with his toothbrushing, he would be
more motivated to brush his teeth. And that was the inspiration
for Playbrush. Now with Playbrush, Kiwi enjoys brushing for 2
minutes twice a day, everyday!
What makes your product special?
Playbrush connects to over 90% of manual toothbrushes, and
integrates easily with IOS and Android phones over bluetooth to
provide a unique experience. Our games are beautifully designed
