Patent number: 9552743Abstract: The invention relates to a toothbrushing monitoring device (18). In order to obtain an efficient monitoring device, the monitoring device comprises: an input device (21), an acceleration sensor, a signal conditioner, a memory, a comparator which compares the numbers of brushing cycles registered by each teeth surface specific counter during brushing with corresponding reference values maintained in said memory, and an output device (27) which indicates that the brushing of the teeth region (L-U) in question is accepted.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2015Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: BRUSHGATE OYInventors: Ulf Meriheinae, Ossi Kauppinen, Teijo Viljanen, Juha-Pekka Puurunen

Patent number: 8585411Abstract: A toothbrushing monitoring device for a user includes a sensor coupled with the toothbrush for measuring toothbrushing patterns, a recording device coupled with the sensor, and a comparator. The recording device records data relating to the user's preferred toothbrushing patterns in a first mode, which is used to establish toothbrushing pattern reference data. The comparator compares toothbrushing patterns measured by the sensor and the toothbrushing pattern reference data, which may be output to an output device. In one example, the sensor consists of only an accelerometer.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2012Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Brushgate OyInventors: Juha-Pekka Puurunen, Ari Visa, Jussi Collin, Jouni Kantola, Ivan Avdouevski, Ulf Meriheina, Teijo Viljanen
