DAYA: a system for monitoring and enhancing children's oral hygiene

Abstract

Oral diseases are major public health problems that impact people from early childhood. However, children's oral hygiene in China remains a severe problem due to inadequate education on oral hygiene behavior and parents' lack of knowledge about their childrens' dental condition. To address these problems, we propose DAYA, a system consisting of a tooth-brushing game for children and a monitoring application for parents. The game is designed to enhance the efficacy and experience of tooth-brushing in children, and the application leverages data collected in tooth-brushing to help parents monitor children's dental health and behavior.
