A solution designed by a Dentist, for dentists
Over the years of practice, Dr. Lionel Elbaz identifies that there is a concern, both on the practitioners' side and, even more, on the patient's side: practitioners spend a lot of time explaining to their patients what shows a radio. They don't always understand or, when they do and come back two weeks later, they have forgotten. It's obvious: practitioners have spent 6 or 7 years studying and cannot expect a patient to understand what is being told to them in around ten minutes. Moreover, in France, only 35% of patients decide to seek treatment after a consultation with the dentist.
This massive renunciation of oral care has consequences on the general health of patients and is partly explained by the patient's difficulty in realizing the importance of being treated. To address this problem, Lionel designed Allisone for himself and refined his design of the ideal product thanks to feedback from numerous colleagues. Today, Allisone is dental x-ray analysis software which, thanks to Artificial Intelligence, facilitates patient communication and increases adherence to the treatment plan while improving the office experience and reducing the time to design the treatment plan.
'Allisone'
It is first of all the first name of Lionel's first assistant with whom he really enjoyed working,
It is a feminine first name whose vocation is to humanize artificial intelligence,
But it is also pronounced “All is one” (or “all in one” in French) and corresponds to Allisone's mission to bring the technological brick to all players in the dental ecosystem.
The genesis of the project:
In September 2021, Lionel Elbaz developed a first minimum version of Allison and asked around ten dental surgeons to test it and validate the benefits of the solution in their practices but also with their patients. The result is clear, 9 out of 10 patients say they understood their treatment plan well thanks to Allisone.
Following this market validation, Lionel Elbaz joined forces with Sacha Samama, Engineer and former founder of continuing education in Artificial Intelligence, to take the lead in product development. The team is growing and Allisone was launched in the last quarter of 2021 in beta. Today, Allisone is supported by 40 employees committed to digitalizing dentistry.
The ambition with Allisone is to facilitate patient understanding so that:
- Patients have more access to preventive care that is as minimally invasive as possible.
- Dentists benefit from a tool to facilitate patient communication and improve the rate of adherence to their treatment plans to provide greater comfort in their profession.
- Society as a whole will have better oral health and, for all taxpayers, reduce the costs associated with major late treatments.
How does Allisone work?
- The practitioner imports his radio into Allisone.
- Allisone automatically analyzes the stored radio and suggests its playback.
- The practitioner uses color codes to explain his analysis of the elements to his patient. He can annotate the radio by adding or removing elements.
- The practitioner builds his treatment plan in Allisone in a few clicks and gives his patient his X-ray report, the treatment plan he recommends and the educational sheets so that the patient can keep track and allow him to follow it. refer if necessary.
What are the values provided to the practitioner and the patient?
Allisone is artificial intelligence software for automatic analysis of dental X-rays intended for dental surgeons. Allison:
✅ Makes it easier to read photos: Where the human eye needs several minutes and a lot of experience, Allisone's Artificial Intelligence compares and evaluates millions of images in a second. Allisone supports or completes practitioners' reading to avoid missing small lesions and recognizes more than 500 implant references to reduce their analysis time.
✅ Makes it easier for patients to understand: Understanding for patients and education are key to adhering to the treatment plan. Allisone allows you to highlight, through color codes, the elements present on the radio. Thus, the patient easily visualizes what is explained to him by his practitioner and understands more easily the issues of the care offered.
✅ Allows you to gain efficiency : Allisone also integrates the creation of the treatment plan and the automatic generation of radio reports to reduce the time dedicated to certain administrative tasks. Thanks to the digitalization of the patient file in the cloud, Allisone simplifies collaboration and data transmission within the practice as well as between tools.
✅ Improves patient experience: 95% of patients agree they get better care with digital solutions and 2 in 3 patients would consider switching to a dentist
