ViDe mission
To make professional dental help accessible to anyone, anywhere.
ViDe goal
To bridge the oral health access and knowledge gaps between consumers and dental practitioners to help improve dental services and wellbeing for all via teledentistry.
ViDe Values
We value simplicity, transparency and quality in healthcare.
ViDe Service
ViDe is Australia’s first virtual dental practice and one of the first globally
ViDe is for anyone who finds accessing traditional dental help challenging for any reason.
ViDe is an online oral health screening and assessment, consult, health promotion and triage service marketplace.
ViDe is a clinical case consulting and professional mentoring service for any registered dental practitioner.
Services are undertaken via a digital communication platform using secure video and data transfer software. All that's needed is a smart device connected to a reliable WiFi internet source.
It's very much like Skype for dentistry.
The Problem ViDe is Solving
Age, health status, cultural background, physical location, everyday demands of life, fear of the dentist and financial considerations are many of the major reasons people delay or avoid going to the dentist.
Internet searches and attempts at self-diagnosis can provide conflicting and confusing health information for most people.
The impacts of oral disease on associated total body health, and vice versa, are increasingly being found and linked. This is often measured by the presence and severity of inflammation, the common sign of all chronic diseases.
The mouth is the gateway to the rest of the body. Oral health is a barometer of total body wellbeing. Dentists are often the first to detect these changes.
Both patients and dental professionals are increasingly time poor or need to meet real-time demands for the best oral care as conveniently as possible.
ViDe Solution
ViDe lowers the barriers for people to access professional dental help.
The platform provides a convenient, easy-to-access, stress-free, no obligation, cost-effective way to speak with a dental practitioner and receive specific, accurate information and help about personal oral health queries.
The service empowers consumers, through evidence-based knowledge, to make informed health choices and seek quality oral health outcomes.
The impact will lower the cost and burden of dental disease for users and insurers, and improve the patient care and workflows for practitioners.
