Abstract

The described technology pertains to personal care devices equipped with gas measurement technologies for monitoring oral-systemic health. Technology addresses the challenge of accurately measuring gas compounds in exhaled breath, which can be confounded by ambient air gases. The solution involves a device (100) with a first sensor (101) for gas measurement, a proximity detection means (102), and a processor (103) that controls background and exhaled gas measurements. The processor processes these measurements to provide a gas output signal representing user-produced gases. This system enhances health assessments by distinguishing between ambient and user-produced gases, offering non-invasive, real-time monitoring. The device is particularly useful in personal care applications, such as toothbrushes, where consistent monitoring is beneficial.
