Abstract

See full text

A substance dispensing apparatus comprises a housing for handheld use and a mouthpiece coupled to the housing. The housing comprises a biometric sensor and a cavity sized to receive a reservoir. The mouthpiece comprises a recess and a capacitive sensor array. The apparatus further comprises a pump coupled to the mouthpiece and couplable to the reservoir and comprises a processor in communication with the biometric sensor, capacitive sensor array, and pump. The processor is configured to cause the pump to automatically dispense a substance from the reservoir to a mouth of an intended user via the mouthpiece in response to determining that: a unique biometric attribute of the intended user is detected by the biometric sensor based on biometric data from the biometric sensor; and a unique dentition of the intended user is positioned within the recess of the mouthpiece based on dentition data from the capacitive sensor array.
