From medical imaging to brain activity to oral care, technology is reimagining some of healthcare’s most outdated routines.
Dyson brings cameras and AI to the toothbrush
The new $499 Dyson CameraJet uses a built-in camera and machine learning to identify gaps between teeth in real time, then fire a precision jet of mouthrinse while you brush.
- Trained on 470K dental images, the app-connected system analyzes 28 images per second for live viewing, coverage mapping, and personalized brushing feedback.
- Dyson is betting that better technology can solve a basic behavior problem: nine in 10 people don’t floss as regularly as recommended, while the average person brushes for just 45 seconds.
The launch also pushes oral care further into beauty and premium consumer health, with Dyson selling the CameraJet through channels including Sephora alongside its own stores and website.
ATLAS is tracking everyday brain activity
The company just opened pre-orders for the Atlas 1.0, a behind-the-ear wearable that uses non-invasive EEG to capture brain activity while people move, speak, exercise, and go about their day.
ATLAS says it has collected more than 500K real-life brain recordings and uses that data to track three states: presence, stress, and energy burn.
The $499 device connects data to sleep, exercise, calendar events, travel, people, and activities, with the goal of building a personalized map of how someone thinks, feels, and performs.
Scan.com scales medical imaging infrastructure
Scan.com just raised $220M—including $90M in equity and $130M in debt—to expand its medical imaging platform across the US.
- The company is building a national network that connects patients, doctors, and imaging centers through a single API.
- Medical imaging is a $100B+ US market, but 85% of scans are still booked by phone or fax. Scan.com helps connect employers, health plans, digital health companies, and workers’ comp platforms with imaging results efficiently.
New funding will help expand its US provider network in addition to investing in its API and agentic AI infrastructure.
