To highlight the efficacy of its offerings, Promaton is currently collaborating with a large dental radiology clinics to aid them in reducing analysis-labour time and optimize treatment per diagnostic image analysis. Dental radiology clinics do produce thousands of x-rays everyday and operates on a non-standardized-workflow. Promaton’s mission with these alliances is to employ its algorithms and eliminate the hours required to manually analyse and report the findings of each x-ray, and drastically reduce the misdiagnosis and the costs involved in the overall process. “Even if we automate 50 percent of the writing and reporting of the image analysis, dental radiology clinics could already gain very significant quality improvements and time savings,” explains dr. Moin.

Apart from the technical challenges, the integration of AI into the field of dentistry involves the mitigation of additional challenges like compliance with GDPR’s data privacy regulations and overly convoluted certification process involved in marketing an AI-based dental imaging analysis system. To overcome these hurdles, Promaton has focused on compliance and certification from the start, (the company is certified as a medical device manufacturer) and is collaborating with industry-leading dental equipment manufaturers to explore and demonstrate the feasibility of AI solutions in this area of medicine. “We cooperate with influential businesses and develop innovative business models to help the dental community gain an understanding of the value propositions of a smart diagnostic image analyser,” adds Dr. Moin.

Looking ahead, Promaton aims to expand its focus from strictly European markets to countries in Latin America and the U.S. From an organisational standpoint, the company’s goal is to become the premier B2B licensing partner for the existing players in the dental sector and integrate its algorithms with clients’ software packages. Promaton is also pursuing IP protection for its clinically-tested, proprietary algorithms to safeguard the offerings from fraud and abuse. “We are continually striving to enhance the superhuman accuracy of our algorithms and transform it into the best diagnostic image analysis solution in the marketplace,” concludes Dr. Moin.
