Ben is a family dentist, and the founder of the Brush DJ app. Inspired in his early career, he created an app bringing together music and the simplicity of brushing teeth for two minutes into an app downloaded almost half a million times. He shares how he created it from mockups using a ruler and compass, how he has hundreds of 5-star reviews with almost no marketing spend, and his ongoing passion for improving oral health. What you will learn in this episode: What is Brush DJ? Brush DJ is a free smartphone app developed by dentist Ben Underwood that plays two-minute music from the user’s streaming device to make brushing teeth fun. It also has features wherein you can set reminders for brushing twice a day, flossing, and even a reminder on when to see a dentist, hygienist, and many more. Where did the idea of Brush DJ come from? The idea started in the 90s when Ben was a dental student. He had a patient who wasn’t cleaning their teeth very well, so they tried different methods for motivation. Finally, they came up with the idea of listening to a song while brushing their teeth. What’s the scale of the problem? There is a huge problem for children who require general anaesthetic due to the removal of teeth due to decay. It’s a global problem affecting adults too. What was the design process for Brush DJ? When it comes to its user interface, he wanted to make it accessible. Ben drew the design personally using a ruler and a compass, creating a variety of mockups. The app was built for both Android and iOS devices. How is Brush DJ funded? Ben personally invested money into building the application, and he also had the opportunity to get a grant from NHS Innovation Accelerator Program and SBRI. In addition, they recently did some work with Health Innovation Manchester, where they built an e-learning package for non-dental health care professionals. What is Brush DJ’s current performance? Brush DJ has reached approx. half a million downloads. The app also had the opportunity to reach about 270 countries and is extremely popular, with users leaving very positive reviews. Are there any plans to incorporate other features? Ben mentioned that he wants to add more about behaviour change techniques. They want the app to have behavioural techniques. He also wants to improve the design and improve the app for the better.

It can’t just be the wealthy advocating for a sustainable future, it needs to come from Americans across the socioeconomic spectrum. And that means bringing renewable energy to communities that are too poor or too high risk for traditional financing models. The finance mechanisms that have brought solar to homes across the country are designed for the wealthy and creditworthy. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Please listen to hear about how Resonant Energy is changing the game by bringing the renewable energy revolution to more Americans.Visit Resonant Energy's website at http://www.resonant.energy/From Resonant:- Resonant is proud to announce that they have recently raised capital, built a successful product, are near profitability, and are off to our next round of building and expanding to new urban areas.- Resonant Energy would like to give a special shout out to Co-op Power - a multi-class and multi-race consumer-owned cooperative that is building projects together.
