What it does
PREG O+ is an oral health care product designed specifically for pregnant women, providing an internal and external solution to the oral problems caused by a range of factors during pregnancy, using saliva as a linking point.
Your inspiration
By hormones, dietary changes and other influences, pregnancy oral problems occur frequently, and pregnancy oral disease can not be easily treated, can only endure the pain, and even lead to the baby's individual dental susceptibility and other health problems, however, the market does not have a complete series of products to help oral health during pregnancy, mostly blindly clean the main and category dispersion. This phenomenon triggered the product design of pregnancy oral health care thinking.
How it works
Firstly, the oral scanning portion of the product is contained in the mouth to prioritise salivary testing during cleaning behaviours at high-frequency moments, such as when waking up in the morning, after eating, and after pregnancy and vomiting. A series of technologies such as the QLF enamel demineralisation test were used, and the output solution was analysed by AI. This section of the product then continues to use the zoned water jet cleaning function to implement a water jet stroke intensity and cleaning time that is appropriate for the current oral condition. At the same time, the salivary gland massage part of the product, which is angled to the detection part, works to promote saliva secretion, which is beneficial to the remineralisation of teeth. Besides, the daily salivary data is recorded and analysed to give recommendations for a healthy diet, which can compensate for the lack of flow of some nutrients.
Design process
Due to the specificity of this group, we also carried out research on the safety of the relevant technology and the comfort of the product form to make it more suitable for this group; in addition, for the structural design of the product, we carried out isometric modeling to verify the realizability; lastly, we carried out modeling and rendering of the product form, and production of the relevant instruction diagrams. Finally, the product shape modelling and rendering, and the production of the related instruction diagrams were carried out.
How it is different
The innovation of this product lies in the precise positioning of the female group during pregnancy, and using saliva as the linking point, seeking and measuring the balance between external oral cleanliness and internal dietary element intervention through the saliva test condition, so as to achieve the precise care of oral health during pregnancy. After saliva testing, external intervention is achieved through oral cleanliness control and salivary gland massage to stimulate salivary secretion, while internal intervention is achieved through dietary supplementation to achieve oral health care and prevention during pregnancy.
Future plans
We are recently in the process of applying for a utility model patent for our product idea. Regarding future plans, in terms of product shape, we will carry out 1:1 product prototype printing to try our best to restore the CMF effect in the rendering; meanwhile, in terms of product technology implementation, we will incorporate the new oral inspection technology which is up-to-date with the times, and incorporate it into the product shape realistically, lightweight, and recommended to be operated. This was followed by user testing.
