DenTeach™: A Novel Application of Digital Twins in Healthcare

In a recent publication in the Journal of Visual Worlds, Tactile Robotics explores the application of digital twins in the healthcare industry, focusing on the dental sector.

Abstract: Industries are increasingly adopting digital twins for their unprecedented ability to control physical entities and manage complex systems by integrating multiple technologies. However, the extent of digital twin adoption in the dental industry for remote education remains uncertain. This work employs a mixed-method approach to investigate the added value of digital twins for remote learning in dentistry, shedding light on concepts, benefits, and an application-based roadmap for wider adoption.

The paper reviews digital twins in healthcare, identifies use cases, compares them across disciplines, and outlines characteristics that add value to dental education. Inspired by applications in other fields, the study proposes a roadmap for digital twins in dental education, highlighting growing complexity and unique characteristics for remote learning.

As universities transition to online education amidst rising Covid-19 cases and the potential for a second wave, Tactile Robotics is leading the charge in redefining dentistry education with its cutting-edge teaching platform.

DenTeach™ by Tactile Robotics integrates seamlessly with traditional teaching methods, combining video, audio, and tactile feedback. This advanced technology, utilizing the DT-Rightway™ Articulator, enables real-time interaction between instructors and students, even at a distance.

“Covid-19 has profoundly impacted learning environments,” said Dr. Yaser Maddahi, CEO and President of Tactile Robotics. “Dental students require hands-on training to master their craft, which is where DenTeach™ comes in.”

Instructors can conduct classes from home using the Articulator, while students engage in practical learning remotely. DenTeach™ is portable and adaptable for both classroom and home use, with all data accessible via a cloud-based retrieval system.

Key features enhancing remote learning include integrated video augmented reality, four video angles for comprehensive viewing, and synchronized drill sensations for a realistic experience.

DenTeach™ holds utility patents (pending approval since 2018) for its innovative technology, making it an essential platform for dental students and practitioners alike.

Denteach’s groundbreaking contributions are in the spotlight, featured in a newly published paper showcasing their innovative approach.
