    Abstract: A personal care device comprises at least one treatment application unit configured to apply a treatment to user; a human-machine interface (HMI) comprising a speaker; and a personal care unit operably coupled to the HMI and to the at least one treatment application unit. The personal care unit includes circuitry for presenting voice cues via the HMI in a computer-guided care routine to guide user operation of the personal care device, and circuitry for controlling the at least one treatment application unit. In an embodiment, the circuitry for presenting voice cues via the HMI includes circuitry for generating a random selection from a set of voice cues stored in memory and/or computational circuitry including one or more processors operably connected to a speaker and configured to enable one or voice cues via the HMI that sequence in concert with a computer-guided care routine stored in memory.

    Abstract: A personal care device that is capable of two-way communication is provided. In some embodiments, the personal care device operates in a first mode and a second mode depending on whether a signal has been received from a networked computing device, thus allowing a single human-machine interface (HMI) device to both control the personal care device and to cause signals to be sent to the networked computing device. In some embodiments, the personal care device is configured to present media streamed from the networked computing device, and/or to stream audio detected by the personal care device to the networked computing device.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, usage of a personal care device in compliance with a recommended use is improved. A usage monitor computing device may detect and store records of use of the personal care device. The usage monitor computing device may transmit the records of use to a monitoring server device via a network. The usage monitor computing device may determine whether the records of use indicate that the personal care device has been used as directed by the recommendations, and if so, may determine whether one or more rewards for use should be provided to the user. The usage monitor computing device may receive notifications of the rewards, and may present notifications of the rewards to the user.

    Abstract: Voice-cue based motorized skin treatment system is presented. In an embodiment, a skin treatment device includes: an audible instruction unit including memory configured to store a plurality of audio files associated with a plurality of voice cues, and a processor electrically coupled with the memory. The processor is configured to determine which voice cues of the plurality of voice cues are to be audibly presented to a user based one or more inputs indicative of a skin treatment type. An audio unit electrically is coupled with the audible instruction unit. The audio unit is configured to receive the determined voice cues from the processor and to audibly present the determined voice cues, where the determined voice cues include verbal guidance for operating the skin treatment device.
