InView – Beam Connected Toothbrush
Why Telematics?
“There is a surprising lack of data on how oral disease is manifested and perpetuated across large demographics. Our vision is to better understand where oral disease comes from and promote preventative care so major disease doesn’t occur in the first place. With the Beam group insurance platform we will also provide new insights to individual companies, and the industry at large, to better control costs and target therapies as needed, which translates to significant savings for employers.”- Alex Frommeyer, Beam’s CEO
