Initial Market Research about the our platform idea:
Commencement of market research to understand the landscape and demand.
The transformation in oral health care services is set to become an emerging trend in recent years. One significant driving force is COVID-19, which has accelerated the adoption of new delivery methods for oral health care services. Research indicates that neglecting an oral health care routine can lead to severe consequences. Poor dental health can escalate into emergencies, with dental infections potentially spreading throughout the body and causing other diseases. For individuals with diabetes, heart disease, or other conditions that weaken the immune system, tooth decay can trigger a medical emergency.
According to findings, several simple oral treatments can be provided remotely or even at the patient’s location. For example, follow-up consultations after dental treatments can be conducted online, and various treatments for elderly patients with mobility issues, such as denture care, tooth cleaning, desensitization, and fluoride treatments, can be delivered at home. This new form of dental care delivery is not only becoming an emerging trend in metropolitan areas but also offers significant benefits for people living in remote areas.
The traditional approach of building dental offices and hospitals is impractical and inefficient in remote areas. Other demographic segments that could benefit from this new method of service delivery include homeless individuals, displaced persons, migrants, residents of rural or distant areas, those living in impoverished neighbourhoods, and others who cannot afford regular dental treatments.
