Blockchain is the biggest buzzword of the year. However, we are just now beginning to see what silly creative ways will this technology be applied. The newest example from China is a blockchain-based toothbrush by 32Teeth, currently crowdfunding the project through the JD Finance platform. The company aims to make your teeth really clean by applying not only blockchain technology, but also facial recognition, sensors, and big data. The toothbrush app offers precise identification of 16 tooth surface cleanliness levels, analyzes users brushing activity data, and offers a powerful intelligent reminder. It even has AR function which gives you an inside look (literally) into how you brush your teeth.
The toothbrush also tries to make each of your 32 teeththe average number of teeth in an adulta cryptocurrency mine. Brushing your teeth regularly rewards you with AYA tokens which can be exchanged for more toothbrushes, toothpaste, and dental hygiene services. Although some have ridiculed the productone commentator worried that his mother might give it to the dog to chew so she can mine as much free stuff as possiblemany consumers seem excited with the idea.
As ridiculous as this sound, I won't totally write it off as a form of respect to the amount of energy and thought that would have been put into this before coming out with this project. But that does not stop the project from being criticised because I can really see the practicability of this happening. People spread across the world using tooth brush then turn to coins for them somewhere across the world registered on a software? This has gone beyond the filling of details online which could be forged or faked but this, is locating you and know where you are at any point in time you obey the call of nature to brush your teeth. I will pass on this.
