The teeth brushing thing is aimed at parents. Children can be very difficult when it comes to encouraging them to brush their teeth, either forgetting or lying, etc.
The encouragement aspect seems to be the most promising I won't deny that. I hated brushing as a kid, and tricked my parents into thinking I did. Kids are smart, if they don't want to brush and know all they have to do is shake the thing to make it look like they are brushing, they will.
Comes down to playing a more active role in their life instead of just tracking their activities.
I think it will track how long it's been shaken, right?
After tricking you for a week by shaking the brush for 1-2min, perhaps it'll form enough of a habit that going to actual brushing won't be as hard (we tend to be attached to the things we hold more often).
Kids think they're fooling you but the joke's on them...
Exactly, if you could fool it by picking it up and putting it back, that'd be one thing. But otherwise if you're forced the stand there shaking it for a couple of minutes, you might as well be brushing your teeth.
