Your digital path toward a variety of use cases
Teaching kids to brush better with games and AI
Client size: Large company
Segment: CPG
In collaboration with Colgate, we created Magik, a revolutionary toothbrush that uses augmented reality and computer vision to teach kids optimal and consistent brushing habits. Through a captivating game, they conquer virtual monsters by correctly brushing each dental zone. We're happy to observe that using Magik toothbrushes has led to a significant increase in kids brushing their teeth over two times a day, for extended durations.
Developing treatment adherence with seamless tech
Client size: Large company
Segment: Pharma & medical device
Providing a platform with precise instructions and feedback for patients to treat eye diseases, BConnect enables doctors to monitor patients' medical treatments at home. Our technology helps them analyze the data coming from connected devices or mobile apps to determine if patients are following their treatment plans.
Understanding user habits from daily objects
Client size: Startup

Building a realistic avatar for daily hair care
Client size: Large company
Segment: CPG
Wella aimed to upgrade their hair salons with a personalized coloring experience. Our solution combined AI, AR tutorials and try-ons, 3D visualization, voice commands, and facial and object recognition to develop a unique 3D avatar experience. By connecting the custom 3D avatar to a mobile application, stylists provide recommendations and tips to customers before and after the appointment.
Providing expert guidance for better hair care routines
Client size: Large company
Segment: CPG
Global leader in high-end hair styling tools, GHD wanted to create a digital experience to give professional insights to users at home.

This solution guides users through creating salon-level hairstyles from the comfort of home.
Monitoring live health data with discrete sensors
Client size: Startup
Segment: Technology
Connectivity doesn’t just benefit the well-being of humans, but all living beings. Zalliant wanted a solution to prevent the spread of disease in young calves without the use of antibiotics. Together we developed an ingestible smart sensor with continuous temperature checks and alerts to monitor the real-time health of animals so caretakers can intervene with medication both faster and only when necessary.
Collecting real-life treatment efficacy data

Advancing quickly from the design to prototype stage
"While building the latest smart toothbrushes and the Colgate Connect mobile app, we were able to advance quickly from the design to the prototype stage thanks to the BConnect platform. This software solution helped our teams deliver a scalable version of the product faster, and using fewer resources than ever before. We leveraged BConnect's user engagement modules to assist millions of users in maintaining their brushing routines".
Helping people take care of their oral health
"Working with the Baracoda team, Colgate was able to launch an affordable connected toothbrush which helps people take charge of their health and well being. Brushing correctly is key to healthy teeth and gums which can, in turn, positively impact overall health.
