VideaHealth and Henry Schein One recently expanded their partnership to bring dental AI to hygiene schools through Henry Schein One’s cloud-based academic software, Ascend Academic.
With Detect AI, powered and manufactured by VideaHealth and now available to Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, and Ascend Academic customers, hygiene students will become faster, more accurate, and more efficient when reviewing radiographs, bringing new skills and insight to program graduates, according to a press release. It will also accelerating their learning curve.
VideaHealth’s investment in education will kick off with a focus on dental hygiene schools, conducted in partnership with Henry Schein One, and will provide near immediate access to Detect AI through seamless integration with Ascend Academic. The company will also create training modules to equip educators with the proper tools and information to best leverage dental AI in the classroom.
Students learning and training with dental AI insights can simulate patient cases and real-time feedback and enhance their interpretations and treatment planning skills before entering clinical practice. They’ll also be able to hone their treatment recommendation skills, bolstered by sophisticated patient visualizations.
"Dental AI's positive impact in an educational setting cannot be overstated, as it offers the opportunity for students to refine their diagnostic skills before they ever see a patient,” said Jonathan Brennan, MD, DMD, MPH, associate dean of innovation and curriculum at Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health (ATSU-ASDOH), according to the release. “I expect that clinicians trained in school with dental AI will graduate with finer skills than ever before, with a higher degree of confidence in their treatment recommendations as well as greater diagnostic accuracy."
