Kolibree Debuts Smart Toothbrush That Tracks Brushing Habits on Smartphone

Kolibree has announced the world's first connected electric toothbrush that tracks your brushing habits, displaying all information on your smartphone. The toothbrush uses bluetooth to connect to an iPhone and automatically sync the information to the device. Built in sensors help measure the amount of time spent on each tooth.

Kolibree’s connected toothbrush is the most advanced and comprehensive solution to ensure you stay ahead of the curve. You simply download the free mobile app, connect via Bluetooth and every brushing is recorded. The data about how you brushed automatically synchronizes to your smartphone telling you whether you brushed long enough and reached the hard-to-reach but important parts of your teeth and gums.

With the Kolibree connected toothbrush and mobile app, you can take control of your health and teeth with easy-to-understand monitoring and scoring. You can easily share your stats with your dentist and family or choose to keep it private.

Designed for families, the app works with several toothbrushes so the entire family can participate. Kolibree rewards your progress and cheers you on when you are improving, allocating points to kids to encourage them to improve their brushing habits.

Kolibree’s smart and connected toothbrush transforms an otherwise boring experience in real-time and offers game-play to keep you motivated. The brushing data will be available via an API to let 3rd party game designers develop new apps and enhance brushing time.

Your dentist may have told you that plaque and tartar build up can lead to losing your teeth if not monitored and acted upon fast enough. Many people don’t realize that poor dental care can also impact the overall care of your health.

While Kolibree doesn’t proclaim to solve periodontal disease or suggest it can keep cavities or gingivitis at bay, the better you take care of your teeth, the more likely you can and will avoid serious problems. Before Kolibree, there hasn’t been an easy and quick way to monitor whether you’re doing an A+ job or a C- one when you brush, so how can you improve a habit without any data? Kolibree solves that problem, making it easy and fun.


The toothbrush feature switchable heads, letting multiple users use one toothbrush unit, however the company does recommend an individual brush for each person. The battery lasts for about one week until you need to charge the unit again.

Kolibree plans to launch a Kickstarter this summer to accept pre-orders for the device ranging from pledges between $99 - $200. The product is expected to ship during the third quarter of 2014.
