In the final part of our series recapping some of the highlights of the Consumer Electronics Show, Adam Balkin shows us gadgets you probably didn't realize you needed until you see them.

 

You have lots of problems. At least, that seems to be the view of consumer electronics manufacturers because they're always trying to help you solve problems you maybe didn't even realize you had. 

 

Like Parrot's Flower Power H2O and Parrot Pot, both of which can tell you how your particular plant is doing and even water them for you.

 

"All you have to do is put the name of your plant inside the application and helps you to take care of your plant," says Jerome Bouvard of Parrot. "If you're not at home, you can program the system to water itself for three weeks for the H2O and four weeks for the pot."

 

To help you take care of your kids while they're in their rooms trying to get to sleep, there is the SleepIQKids mattress from the folks at Sleep Number, with eight child-focused features, from adjusting firmness as they get older and bigger to an app that goes with it that finds and gets rid of monsters under the bed.  

 

"Know the comfort they're getting through the individualized sleep number setting. It lifts them up when they're down to temporarily relieve a stuffy nose. Get alerts real-time if your child gets out of bed, restless, up late texting," said Kelley Parker of Sleep Number.

 

Finally, believe it or not, the Kolibree is not the first Bluetooth toothbrush I've ever seen, but what makes it different from the others is that it can actually tell which teeth you're brushing - or, more importantly, which teeth you're not brushing.

 

"It's equipped with a 3-D motion sensor. So if you want, it's similar to a GPS of your mouth," says Chris Dissaux of Kolibree. "We're able to locate where the toothbrush is in your mouth, which zones of your mouth have been properly brushed, which zones have not been properly brushed."

 

The app that goes with it even helps teach kids how to brush via games, including one where moving the brush to the proper side of the mouth moves an on-screen pirate. The more of the mouth that's properly brushed, the more coins the pirate collects.
