Products: 16 Trials with 5 People
Wearable Device(Prototype Developed): Reach 80% Accuracy Rate in detecting Bruxism(excessive teeth grinding); Conduct experiment to compare our current approach with the common EMG approach: Find higher accuracy with the original prototype.
Holding structure for the Device: Tape’s comfort level is low; Achieve increased comfort level after using the Sleep Band and 3-D Printed lid for our wearable device.
App(In Progress): Show real-time and past teeth grinding data analyzed by our Python algorithm; Create teeth grinding personal database for each user; 3-D model your potential teeth damages based on the data.
Interviews with 4 Different Groups
16 Dentists and Oral Surgeons: Bruxism takes long to diagnose and is not understood by community.
4 Reps from Medical Device Firms: Bulk sell to physicians, allows for innovation.
2 Medical School EMG Professors: Any medical device has to have doctor sponsorship.
20 College students: We know lots of people with teeth grinding; we would pay for it.
Future Version
- Work with medical device companies such as Henry Schein to give supplies to dentists, who will offer patients an easy way for diagnosis
- Offer upgrades with higher comfort, smaller sizes, updated software analytics and even sleep apnea.
