Inventors include Tembhurnikar, Aayushi; Bhaisare, Sneha; Uddanwadikar, Rashmi V.; Ghare, Pradnya H.; and Kumar, Akanksha.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a smart toothbrush system for real-time monitoring of brushing angle, pressure, and duration, comprising a toothbrush (1), a sensor X (2) for measuring orientation, tilt, and motion patterns corresponding to brushing angle, a microcontroller (3) for real-time data processing, timing functions, and wireless communication, a PCB (4) for interconnection of components, a sensor Y (5) for measuring applied brushing force and region monitoring, a rechargeable power source (6) with waterproofing features, and a feedback module (7) for providing immediate alerts. The sensor X (2) and sensor Y (5) continuously transmit data to the microcontroller (3), which processes it to estimate the brushing angle, pressure, and duration. The system maintains a target brushing angle of 45 ° and a duration of approximately 4 minutes. The feedback module (7) alerts to deviations in angle, pressure, and duration, and the collected data is transmitted for remote monitoring.
