You can use the Oral B with some electric brushes to see where you have brushed and where you haven’t to help you with not missing anything.

Why did you have to login in the first place? What’s an “Oral-B brushing experience”?

It’s a data collection joke.

“where you have brushed” -> either “where in your mouth” or “where you were when brushing”

It’s the experience of a toothbrush collecting data about your daily routines to sell for profit.

Ah yes, there’s a whole line forming to buy data about teeth brushing, it’s like a gold mine.

You joke, but I guarantee there’s a market. Consider health insurance companies that see an opportunity to charge everyone more unless they can prove their good brushing habits via app data.
Tja@programming.dev 19 hours ago
I think it’s a conspiracy theory. The vast majority of people use manual brushes. Of those who use electric ones, a majority use dumb ones. Of those who use smart ones, some people don’t use the app. Or don’t bother opening the app every time they brush. Those who register probably don’t provide insurance info. The data they collect is basically useless for individual cases, and definitely useless on a bigger scale.
My take is that it’s a gimmick to help sell you more expensive brushes when you are browsing and comparing them.

Yeah, it’s not like there’s money in dental products… Oh wait.
Tja@programming.dev 19 hours ago
Tooth brushes are under one euro. Tooth paste is around one euro. Both last like a a couple of months. Floss and inter-dental brushes are a couple of euros.
Not everything is implants and high tech drills, the consumer products to take care of your teeth are cheap as fuck. Unless you volunteer to buy the toothbrush with leds, Bluetooth and timer, but that’s a tech toy, not a dental product.

Who is interested in that data other than Oral-B and their competitors though? Oral-B isn’t collecting that data to sell to itself, and they certainly wouldn’t want their competition using it

The amount of information that can be inferred, especially when coupled with more data from other “brokers”, is crazy. You might be flagged as a depressed person if you skip brushing some/most days. The time you wake up and go to work might be an indication of your social status, together with how often you replace the head.

You see, they’ll sell this information to your health insurance company, so that your premium will increase if they think you brush too seldom or not thoroughly enough.

Exactly this, but it will be sold the other way around, you’ll get a gift or a discount if you log+link data
