| dc.description.abstract | Toothbrushes of varied qualities,
designs and standards are globally available, yet
majority of them do not conform to international
standards. There is no proper guidance or
awareness given for the people with this regard.
So, generally people do not know to choose the
suitable toothbrushes they need, when they
require to replace the used toothbrush, and
whether the existing toothbrush is suitable for
use. Therefore, the Toothbrush Standard
Monitoring App provides a solution for all the
above mentioned issues. This app is capable to
scan the user’s toothbrush and identify its
condition. Machine learning and one of image
processing techniques, image classification are
mainly used for development of the app. Android
Studio, Java programming language and firebase
are used as development platform, backend
development language and database platform
respectively. The main purpose of implementing
this app is to improve the dental health of human
beings with the help of modern technology, and
this will be the very first such solution
implemented, addressing the above-mentioned
health and social issues. This app functions in
order to make people aware about the quality of
toothbrushes and the conditions, hence reducing
dental health issues and acknowledging people
regarding the time period when they need to
replace the existing brush with a new one.
Accordingly, the app suggests certified
toothbrushes following the user’s data,
monitoring the quality and damaged capacity of
the toothbrush using image processing and
informs the user whether the toothbrush can
further be used or needs to be replaced. For this
process, a TensorFlow Lite model with 83.48% of
accuracy has been developed. | en_US |
