Solution Overview
Problem
Current dental medical record creation processes are time-consuming, prone to errors, and difficult to manage, especially in environments without specialists, leading to inefficiencies and potential cross-infection risks.
Innovation Solution
A dental medical record device and method utilizing artificial intelligence to read images of a patient's oral cavity, perform charting, and associate treatment site information with medical records, reducing the need for manual transcription and enhancing accuracy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual transcription by assistant doctor is used to create dental medical record, then the doctor can focus on examination, but the recording process takes long time and errors occur
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by allowing the patient to input their own oral hygiene data through a mobile terminal. The server automatically processes this data along with examination data to generate the dental medical record, eliminating the need for manual transcription by assistant doctors and reducing errors while saving time.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical process of dictation and transcription is replaced with an automated electronic system. The server automatically creates the dental medical record by integrating examination data from the dental treatment device with oral hygiene data from the mobile terminal, substituting human transcription with automated data processing.
2Loss of information
If separate searching for medical record and receipt history for each tooth is required, then treatment history can be reviewed, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple data sources including examination data from the dental treatment device, oral hygiene data from the mobile terminal, and receipt history into a single integrated dental medical record. This consolidation allows complete treatment history review without requiring separate searches, reducing system complexity while maintaining information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The dental medical record system serves multiple functions by integrating examination records, oral hygiene tracking, treatment history, and receipt management into a single universal platform. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate systems for each type of data, simplifying the overall management process.
3Reliability
If assistant doctor transcribes the dental medical record, then the doctor can perform examination, but cross-infection risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary electronic data transmission process between the patient and the medical record system. The patient inputs oral hygiene data through a mobile terminal, which is then processed by a server to create the medical record, eliminating direct contact between the patient and assistant doctor during transcription and reducing cross-infection risk.
Solution Approach 2:
The physical interaction and manual transcription process that poses cross-infection risk is replaced with an electronic data processing system. Data is transmitted and processed digitally without requiring the assistant doctor to physically handle or transcribe patient information, eliminating the cross-infection pathway while maintaining record creation functionality.
Data Source
AI summary
A dental medical record device and a dental medical record method, in which: an image, such as a panoramic photo, a scan image, and a camera image of a patient's oral cavity, is received via artificial intelligence, and charting is performed using the artificial intelligence; and medical records for a treatment area can be read in association with a chart by clicking the treatment area in the image.
