Scientists at the National Taiwan University in Taipei have developed a “wearable oral sensory system”. The Wi-Fi enabled sensor is able to detect when the wearer is speaking, drinking, coughing and chewing.
The scientists captured their findings in a report.
Because the mouth is an opening into human health, this oral sensory system has the potential to enhance existing oral-related healthcare monitoring applications such as dietary tracking.
The sensor is glued onto the wearer’s tooth. While the prototype was being tested, wires connected the sensor to a computer. In the retail version, the sensor would be able to sync with your smartphone. The sensor is capable of producing a “unique teeth motion” that would correspond with different oral activities, like chewing and coughing.
