LOS ANGELES, May 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MedTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global digital health and medical technology market, today announced that Grin, the leading virtual care platform for digital oral healthcare solutions, has been selected as the winner of the “Best New Orthodontics Technology Solution” award in the 8th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program.
Grin leverages cutting-edge digital technology and artificial intelligence to transform the delivery of oral care and empower doctors in the evolving healthcare landscape. The platform offers a wealth of solutions, from patient management, clinical monitoring, and imaging to a comprehensive suite for practice growth, complete with productivity and workflow automation tools. Grin optimizes efficiency, boosts revenue, and simplifies operations within an intuitive ecosystem, all while prioritizing an enhanced patient experience through convenient and effective treatment options. With Grin, unnecessary visits are eliminated, ushering in a new era of streamlined, patient-centric care.
The Grin experience comprises the Grin App and the first-of-its-kind Grin Scope®—an FDA-listed medical device offering comprehensive views of patients’ mouths. Partnered with doctors' supervision, these technologies facilitate patient self-scans, allowing virtual check-ins and ongoing connectivity between appointments. Grin's user-friendly process empowers patients to attach the Scope to their smartphone cameras, complete scans in just 30 seconds, and submit them to the doctor. This ensures their treatment progresses smoothly with personalized care at their fingertips, nurturing robust patient-doctor relationships, fostering trust, and enhancing compliance.
Innovative products and software integrations such as the Grin RecordsApp, 3D Tx Tracker™, and Remote Consultation provide a significant leap forward in orthodontic care. These offerings equip clinicians with cutting-edge capabilities and top-notch tools, enabling them to prioritize strategic aspects within their practice and remain competitive in a constantly evolving market.
