Abstract
The use of mobile and wireless communication technologies to facilitate and improve healthcare and medical services is bringing a shift to healthcare delivery. In this context, an important application scenario is represented by dentistry applications and more generally, intraoral sensors applications. An oral sensory system that allows real-time monitoring of intraoral parameters/activities would open new opportunities for both dentistry applications and more generally wellness applications. This paper provides an overview of the possible applications of intraoral sensors wirelessly connected to external devices, outlining open challenges and research directions.
