Whether you are looking to stub the butt or need some motivation to stick to a diet, there may be some digital assistance on the way.

A research team at National Taiwan University has developed a ground-breaking accelerometer-based oral sensory system that can read your oral behavior based on the movement of your teeth. Awesome, isn't it!

The prototype sensors, placed in the mouths, can correctly recognize each person's oral behavior up to 94 percent of the time, as per the research analysis.

 
The team is now working to create a wireless prototype of the sensors that could be easily fit inside a fake tooth or  attached to a pair of braces, thus allowing you to monitor if you've been eating or smoking and exactly how much. What more, these wi-fi sensors can be easily recharged too.

The group is likely to collaborate with dental experts later to improve the safety of the device.

With a slew of technologies monitoring your eating habits in the make, it's time to get creative with your excuses or shun the bad habits altogether.
