Brushing Hero aims to make the struggles of oral hygiene fun! Using colourful visual and animation and game like technology, Brushing Hero aims to get children into the habit of brushing their teeth neatly, correctly and for appropriate lengths of time. The app uses a range of motivators to keep your child engaged and uses a simple model of ‘the more you play, the strong you will be’.
What we think
Brushing hero has included an interactive video of yourself as a warrior, and as you brush your teeth you fight to defeat the monster.
The app uses many instant rewards like noises and visually shows the monster being defeated to provide motivation to the person brushing their teeth. This supports a positive behaviour in brushing your teeth for 1 minute and motivates children to continue to engage in this expected behaviour.
