Brush DJ app scoops innovation prize

2 mins read Children's dentistry
​Ben Underwood, creator of the toothbrushing app Brush DJ, has been named the winner of the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry’s Outstanding Innovation Award.

The judges were unanimous in their decision as well as united in their praise for the high standard of entries in 2018.

The app’s most important quality, according to the judges, is that it’s free and accessible to anyone who has a smartphone or tablet.

Incorporating technology which makes it possible for blind and low-vision users, as well as users with dyslexia, to enjoy the app, its potential for improving oral health is far-reaching.

Brush DJ has been downloaded to over a quarter of a million devices in 197 countries and is the only dental app in the new NHS Digital Apps library. The app has been translated into 14 languages, with no passwords, in-app purchases or personal details required and can be used with any type of toothbrush.
