Kolibree

Kolibree is a company based in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France[1] that is known for developing a smart toothbrush.[2] Colibri means "hummingbird" in French; perhaps a reference to their signature product's light weight, about 64g.[3]

Kickstarter

In April 2014, the company launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for its device and raised over $100,000.

Design

The toothbrush connects via Bluetooth to a smartphone app and can tell users whether or not they are brushing well. Also available is a choice of video games, in which good brushing is rewarded with high scores in the game.[4] The toothbrush has removable heads; thus the same brush can be shared by different people without worry of contamination.[5]

AI toothbrush

In 2017 at CES Las Vegas, Kolibree introduced ARA, an updated version of its toothbrush, promising AI software that records and detects bad brushing habits.

AR toothbrush

In 2018 at CES Las Vegas, Kolibree introduced Magik, a kids version of its toothbrush with Augmented Reality detection that helps children play with a smartphone App while cleaning their teeth.
