Cavity Crusher’s algorithm monitors the time of brushing of a child and uses the data to determine his/her oral health habits. If the child spends insufficient time on brushing, the device will then notify the parents about it. Before building the prototype, the family developed a model which had the ability to recognize images of tooth brushing. But the family later decided to go with the number of data because they thought it could get more accurate results.

Pakistanis are excelling in the technology field and achieving great milestones in international competition all over the world. A Pakistani team from NUST recently cleared the technical inspection and completed their first valid run with a mileage of 72 km/liter making them the best team of the sub-continent. This shows the potential and skills Pakistanis have that makes them stand-out in the whole world.
