Forget smartwatches and glasses, smart teeth are the future writes The Economist:

• Scientists have figured out how to put accelerometers in a person’s mouth, allowing them to monitor what the mouth is doing.
• This has medical applications – it can track how often people are eating when they’re meant to be on a diet, or how often they cough.
• While every person moves their mouth in different ways the current prototypes can recognize what the mouth is up to over 90% of the time.
• This technology might be implanted into us through dentures…or they could be attached to our existing teeth and connected, of course, through Bluetooth.
