Philips Sonicare Toothbrush Line Adds Bluetooth Connectivity

Philips added a connectivity option to its Sonicare electric toothbrush line. The Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Connected ($199), due in July, links to the Sonicare app via Bluetooth to track brushing in real time. Smart sensors track brushing location and pressure and alert users to change behavior if necessary, Philips said in an email, and a “touch-up” feature directs users to spots they missed after brushing.
