Oral-B: The innovation leader unveils its future vision for health at MWC

The mouth is the gateway to health – and a toothbrush touches it twice a day. Oral-B’s future vision is that humans will live longer and healthier through dental care at home. Stephen Squire, Oral-B’s global Brand Director, says: “Imagine: What if a future dental device could tell all you need to know about personal health, and could connect directly with your dental and health professional whenever it’s needed, seamlessly, and as early as possible ?” Oral-B envisions a future that will allow people to undertake at-home health monitoring as part of their daily oral care routine, arming them with real-time feedback to enable diagnosis and prevention. Squire: “The Biometric Health Tracker concept is our idea of a 360-degree health platform, designed to improve oral and overall health. It is not a finished product. It is a vision that shall further enable pioneering work between dental professionals, external researchers and Oral-B scientists alike. Together, we want to explore the endless opportunities connected Oral-Care devices can deliver. ”

NEW Oral-B GENIUS X - Oral-B’s gateway into the future

Oral-B continuously innovates every year to achieve its vision. This year, Oral-B makes a step further to more intelligent dental devices with the NEW Oral-B GENIUS X with Artificial Intelligence. It is Oral-B’s most advanced brush to date. Designed with dental professionals, it does something completely new: It combines the knowledge of thousands of human brushing behaviors to assess individual brushing styles and coach users to achieve better brushing habits. The AI technology tracks where people are actually brushing in their mouth and offers personalized feedback on the areas that require additional attention, for better oral health.

NEW Oral-B GENIUS X - meaningful innovation makes it dentist’s darling

Oral-B’s research with dentists has shown that innovation is successful when it is simple and easy to use. GENIUS X with Artificial Intelligence tech works seamlessly, without having to change your brushing habits or style. It operates in the background. It is so unique because it has learned from thousands of different brushing styles: “Every patient is unique, that is why we are looking for solutions that adapt to the individual. Oral-B gives patients an excellent and personalized brushing experience, without having to change the way they brush to achieve their best oral health result. This makes it a real breakthrough, ” says Prof. Dr. Ralf Rössler from the University for Digital Technologies in Dentistry & Medicine in Luxembourg. GENIUS X with Artificial Intelligence is the first step towards the future, where intelligent devices use data analytics and turn a dental device into the most important element in people’s everyday health routines. Attendees at MWC will be the first to experience Oral-B GENIUS X with Artificial Intelligence and the brand’s future vision.
