PANO – Dental AI-Based Diagnosis Aid Platform

According to WHO's 2023 report, the global shortage of dental professionals, with a critical dentist-to-patient ratio of merely 5 per 10,000 people, severely impacts patient education, timely diagnoses, and quality of oral care. Pano addresses this challenge by providing an efficient solution that educates patients and optimizes care delivery amidst limited healthcare resources. The key challenge was developing an innovative, user-friendly platform to bridge communication gaps, simplify complex medical information, and empower patients to manage their oral health actively, thus reducing the burden on providers and minimizing misdiagnoses.

Pano integrates AI technology, interactive 3D modeling, and intuitive visual aids. It synthesizes data from dental images, personal health records (PHR), and electronic medical records (EMR) to generate precise visual representations of oral conditions. These visuals facilitate transparent communication, accurate diagnoses, and enriched patient-provider interactions. Key milestones included refining user interface clarity, optimizing real-time data processing, and ensuring multi-platform compatibility. By overcoming data integration and user experience complexities, Pano significantly enhances healthcare accessibility, improves patient understanding, and streamlines clinical workflows.

Globally, nearly 3.7 billion people are affected by oral diseases, largely preventable through regular screenings and education. However, socioeconomic disparities limit access to dental care, exacerbating conditions otherwise easily managed. Pano addresses this global oral health crisis by bridging the information gap between providers and patients through intuitive visual communication. Simplifying routine screenings and preventive care, Pano empowers patients and significantly alleviates healthcare providers' workloads, improving global oral health outcomes. Promoting early diagnosis and preventive measures substantially reduces oral health disparities, aligning with WHO's strategic focus on accessible healthcare.
