Does dental industry sound exciting to you? Not yet?

And what would you say if we told you about a trusted review platform available for both patients and dental practitioners, or a webapp for surveys paid in cryptocurrency, or a mobile app guiding users towards establishing healthy dental care habits? How about dental insurance-like program using smart contracts, or a secure and infallible health care database? A totally different thing, we would say.

All those futuristic concepts are not really far from reality, as we are talking about Dentacoin — an Ethereum-based blockchain platform for the dental industry. Its core mission is to change the global dental industry for the better through improving the quality of dental care, focusing on prevention, reducing treatment costs and creating an open community.

This journey consists of several stages which we are going to describe below.

Dentacoin Foundation has already presented to the world a platform for trusted dental treatment reviews, written by patients with verified identities and secured by Blockchain. The reviews cannot be modified and manipulatedEvery user is encouraged to submit his or her feedback to the platform.

Among the other already developed products by Dentacoin are: DentaVox, a collective intelligence tool, which researches users’ opinions on dental health topics and thus gathers valuable market research data, and Dentacare, a mobile app which helps users to properly take care of their teeth through a 3-month program and rewards good results.

Rewarding people for giving their opinion or improving their dental care through the apps described above is among the things that Dentacoin’s ERC20 token (DCN) was created for. People can use the received DCN to pay for dental treatment within the global Dentacoin network, already consisting of nearly 40 clinics in 14 countries globally. Dentists, on the other hand, can use the tokens bought, received from patients or earned through the tools as a means of payment for dental lab products, dental supplies & equipment.

But this is just the beginning of the Dentacoin development. If we speak of the dental insurance-like model (called Dentacoin Assurance), through low monthly premium paid in Dentacoin (DCN) directly to their dentists, patients will be assured to receive lifelong, prevention-oriented dental care.

Healthcare database (planned to be released in 2019) will introduce intelligent control of record access.

If you like those concepts, you might also like to have some DCN tokens that are now available in Lumi wallet!
