Launched at the GSMA Mobile World Congress, the "Oral-B Genius" features ‘position detection technology’ that combines motion sensor technology located in the brush, and video recognition using a smartphone camera, to track areas being brushed so that no zone is missed.

Users receive instant feedback on the brushing of each zone of the mouth via the Oral-B App 4.1, including guidance on pressure applied and brushing duration.

The Oral-B Genius will be available in select markets starting in July, and the Oral-B App 4.1 will be available in July 2016 on iTunes and Google Play.
