11 ridiculous ‘smart’ gadgets that totally exist Part 2

October 11, 2017

Hatch Baby Smart Changing Pad

Yep, there’s smart baby stuff too. Putting an infant on the Hatch Baby Smart Changing Pad lets you keep tabs on their weight, diaper changes, food intake, and so on, all of which goes back to a companion app. If needed, you can share that data with a pediatrician.

Onvi Prophix

Again, the Onvi Prophix isn’t the only “smart toothbrush” in existence, but it might be the quirkiest. It connects to a smartphone app, naturally, but it uses that app to, among other things, show you photos and live video of the inside of your mouth. It can do that because there’s a 10-megapixel camera built into the brush itself.

Flosstime

In related “dental hygiene in the 21st century” news, there’s Flosstime, a “smart floss dispenser” that mounts to a bathroom mirror and churns out 18 inches of tooth rope when tapped. The idea is to get you in the habit of flossing regularly, which seems feasible given that you’ll have a white floss shooting machine staring you in the face whenever you go the bathroom.

Juicero

The Juicero is a $700 connected “juicing system” that won’t make juice if your WiFi is down. If that slice of modernity doesn’t scare you away, know that this isn’t the most expensive a juicer’s ever been, and that the whole thing does appear to be a simple, effective way of making healthy drinks.
