Interested in learning more? Watch our 1 minute pitch where we dive into the development process of Ergobrush. Find out how our product has the ability to impact the countless lives of individuals with mobility impairments.
Ergobrush is a gimbal style device providing three axis of rotation that allows one to go through the steps and positions of brushing their teeth without having to actually move their hand.
Every Ergobrush is built utilizing Arduino technology, the industry's leading manufacturer of single-board microcontrollers for digital devices.
In colaboration with the University of Ottawa's Centre for Entrepreneurship and Engineering Design (CEED), our team was provided with the required resources enabling us to develop Ergobrush.
Ergobrush was designed for our client, a patient at the St. Vincent long term care Hospital in Ottawa, Ontario. Due to the limited hand mobility our client experiences, we developed a device that would provide aide and independence while she brushed her teeth.
