Sounds like an interesting idea. I hope the concerns about privacy don’t prevent people from gathering data which could be useful to them. As a dentist, I think it would be a great tracking and teaching tool. Information and hard data is always useful…as they say: what you measure, you can improve. I think most of my patients would be shocked if they knew exactly how little time they actually spend brushing their teeth!

Great article! Today’s world of connected “things” is creating a tremendous impact on the business world – and certainly the healthcare / medical space is poised to capture the value. In-home medicine dispensing is another great example, considering the ecosystem of people (patients, doctors, family) interested in that connected “thing”. And I agree completely with the social component. That is exactly what we are doing at ThingWorx – social collaboration meets connected “things” – and I think we’ll see real value in creating private, secure, collaborative networks of people, systems, and things in the medical world and beyond.

Awesome, Alex and I even discussed what GreenGoose was doing. Looks like the BrushMoney uses that platform. Thanks!
