Abstract
Proposed concepts thus aim to provide schemes, solutions, concept, designs, methods and systems pertaining to assisting an oral health care routine of a user. It has been realized that captured video of the user and/or a personal care device during performance of an oral health care routine may be analysed to obtain motion data that may then be leveraged to determine at least one parameter value of the personal health care routine. That is, insights may be derived into the user's performance of an oral health care routine based on movements of their body and/or a personal care device, such as a toothbrush. Such video may be obtained using existing or conventional devices that include cameras already owned by a user.
Claims15
A method for assisting an oral health care routine of a user, the method comprising:
- obtaining video data from captured video of the user performing the oral health care routine using a personal care device;
- processing the video data to obtain motion data describing motion of a portion of the user during performance of the oral health care routine;
- and
- analysing the motion data to determine at least one parameter value of the oral health care routine;
- wherein the portion of the user comprises a hand of the user.
A system for assisting an oral health care routine of a user, the system comprising:
- an input interface configured to obtain video data from captured video of the user performing the personal health care routine using a personal care device;
- a processor arrangement configured to:
- process the video data to obtain motion data describing
- motion of a portion(s) of the user during performance of the oral health care routine;
- analyse the motion data to determine at least one parameter value of the oral health care routine;
- wherein the portion of the user comprises a hand of the user.
