Remote monitoring powered by artificial intelligence allows orthodontists to treat patients more efficiently while at the same time improving the patient experience and reducing stress in the office. We now have the ability to offer patients care at the exact time it is required. Whether picking up problems (such as poor brushing or broken appliances) or getting notified when treatment is progressing well (such as when arch wires become passive or when treatment goals are reached), remote monitoring can keep us in the "know" about our patients' treatment condition. This can translate into less time in treatment for our patients, thereby reducing the deleterious effects of orthodontic care (such as decalcification, gingivitis, enamel wear and caries) that can happen with extended treatment times. Being able to improve patient care, optimize your practice workflow and improve the patient experience makes remote monitoring a three-way power play.
Learning Objectives:
After this session, attendees will be able to:
Recognize the importance of being able to synchronize the delivery of care with the need for care.
Understand how data allows the practice to optimize their treatment workflow.
Visualize how to reduce stress in their practice for the doctor, staff and patients while simultaneously enhancing the patient experience.
