Would you use a €480 toothbrush that tracks your teeth using AI?
Dyson has launched a high-tech, AI-powered toothbrush called the CameraJet, which features a camera and water flossing capabilities. The device, priced at nearly €500, aims to optimize dental health through data tracking and app integration.
Why it matters
The product represents the intersection of consumer electronics and the 'healthmaxxing' trend, raising questions about the necessity of AI in everyday personal care.
In the quest for greater health and wellness, many of us have already invested in gadgets like sleep and fitness trackers, as tech companies increasingly recognise the money to be made in creating tools to track and tweak our bodily habits.
But is our growing fascination with 'healthmaxxing' a sign that there is an appetite for an AI-powered high-tech toothbrush?
Dyson is certainly betting on it, as it launches its first-ever toothbrush: the Dyson CameraJet, a Wi-Fi-enabled toothbrush equipped with a camera and powered by AI.
Known for their home appliances and haircare products, the launch marks Dyson's first foray into the wellness industry, and it brings with it a host of new and impressive ways to optimise a previously mundane task - and possibly frighten yourself in the process.
