Abstract
The present invention is directed to oral care systems having an oral care tool and a first software application. The oral care tool includes a cleaning module, a sensing module, and a communications module. The first software application is run on a computing device, such as a mobile computing device, that receives the data from the sensing module and reproduces a simulated image reflecting the result of brushing. The mobile computing device can be linked to a cloud server that receives data from the first software application and saves detailed brushing data for each user. The first software application visualizes brushing and transforms brushing into a fun game. The cloud server collects and stores the detailed brushing data and provides it to users and care providers.
