IoT for dentists and dental practices

What's the solution about?

With the ioDent^® Gateway, data, for example from surgical devices or sterilisers, is recorded and securely transmitted. This means that maintenance can be planned in advance according to requirements and work processes can be logged automatically. The legally required traceability as well as the treatment documentation is significantly simplified and the flood of paper is stopped. In addition, treatments can be conveniently planned on the ioDent^® online platform and transferred over-the-air (OTA) via the gateway to the respective W&H unit. The online dashboard gives an overview of all units and a map shows where the units are located. At the same time, the fully automated documentation of work processes, e.g. in implantology or of legally required hygiene measures in the area of sterilisation of instruments, handpieces and contra-angles, is carried out.

The ioDent^® Gateway, developed jointly by W&H and Microtronics, collects the data directly in the dental practice. In doing so, ioDent^® enables the recording and transmission of different W&H devices. The data is transferred to the ioDent^® platform.

In the platform, further services such as traceability, automated re-ordering, predictive maintenance and much more are offered in a customer-oriented manner.

The concept allows the ecosystem to be easily expanded with new services and the connection of further W&H devices.
