Developed by advanced Japanese technology, Sharp Corporation has launched BiteScan, a measurement of personal eating habits, it is a mastication meter that allows consumers to put on their ear when eating – to measure the number and tempo of chews, along with the position of the jaw, while chewing. Consumers can check out their results in the BiteScan app to help them easily see the trend in changes to their actions. Sharp Corporation collaborated with Lotte Co., Ltd., Niigata University, and Kyushu University for the “Bitescan and Gum Chewing Improvement Project” in Fukuoka City. The project was to encourage the chewing of one’s food as a positive habit while having fun. By utilising the Bitescan chewing metre, researchers were able to measure, analyze and understand various data related to chewing (Source: Participated in a joint project aimed at maintaining health by improving chewing ability| News Release: Sharp (jp.sharp)).
