The Project
Willo aimed to create a smart toothbrush designed to encourage kids aged 5-13 to brush their teeth more actively and correctly.
The project involved developing a mobile application and backend system to connect with the IoT toothbrush, track brushing events, and provide progress reports to kids and their parents.
The Demski Group developed a comprehensive mobile application and backend system for Willo, leveraging a diverse tech stack to ensure seamless connectivity, data tracking, and user engagement. The solution included both Android and iOS applications, a serverless backend, and integration with AWS for scalable cloud services.
Seamless Sync: Connecting the Toothbrush with the Mobile Application
The IoT toothbrush seamlessly connects to the mobile app via a WiFi connection, ensuring real-time data synchronization and a smooth user experience. Upon initial setup, the app guides users through a simple pairing process, securely linking the toothbrush to the home network. Once connected, the brush transmits usage data, brushing patterns, and performance metrics directly to the app, allowing users to track their oral hygiene habits in real-time. Advanced encryption protocols ensure a secure connection, preventing unauthorized access and maintaining data privacy. The connection is essential for supporting vital features like brush history tracking and firmware updates.

Creating the Brusher Experience
The Brusher role is designed for individuals using the toothbrush to track their personal brushing history. Users can monitor their daily routines, earn rewards for consistent brushing, and maintain streaks to encourage healthy habits. A built-in countdown timer helps them brush for the recommended duration, providing real-time feedback to ensure thorough cleaning. By integrating gamification elements, this role keeps users engaged and motivated to improve their oral care routines.

Creating the Parent Experience Designed to Manage Brushing for the Entire Household
The Parent role allows for oversight and customization, ensuring children develop strong brushing habits. Parents can manage account settings, review their child’s brushing history, and create personalized rewards to keep them engaged. By setting specific goals and monitoring brushing streaks, parents can encourage consistency and reinforce positive behaviors. This role serves as an essential tool for guardians to support and guide their children toward better oral hygiene.
Measurable Impact: Driving Engagement, Accuracy, and Scalability
Increased User Engagement
By incorporating an interactive and user-friendly design, the app successfully captured kids’ attention, turning daily brushing into a fun and rewarding experience. Gamification elements, real-time feedback, and progress tracking encouraged consistent brushing habits, making oral hygiene an enjoyable routine rather than a chore.
Precise and Actionable Insights
With real-time data synchronization, parents gained access to accurate brushing reports, allowing them to monitor their children’s brushing habits in detail. The ability to track brushing duration, frequency, and consistency provided valuable insights, helping parents reinforce healthy behaviors and address any gaps in their child’s oral care routine.
Scalability for Future Growth
The serverless backend architecture, combined with AWS cloud services, ensured that the system could seamlessly scale to accommodate a growing user base. As more families adopted the smart toothbrush, the infrastructure remained robust and responsive, efficiently handling increasing data loads without compromising performance or reliability.
