Digital Revolution in healthcare:
The technology-oriented CEO of MobiDent believes that
for a revolution in health care the medical care needs to
shift from corrective care at hospitals to preventive care at
homes. Hospitals only offer sick care. He believes the
future of health care will see an attitudinal & behavioural
shift with consumers taking responsibility for their own
health. When data is digitized, the cost of storing, transfer,
retrieval, and analysis into information greatly reduces.
Consumers will start using IoT wearable to track and
monitor their vital signs. These advances in technology will
ignite a massive shift to preventive healthcare, self-
medication and lifestyle changes to stay healthy to avoid
expensive hospital visits.
MobiDent: Digital Dentistry Anytime Anywhere
To give a perfect elaboration about MobiDent, Vivek stated
an example of the hand sanitizer. This product has
journeyed from operation theatre used by surgeons to
consumers pocket as a lifestyle product. Similarly,
MobiDent aims to deliver preventive dental care at people's
homes, instead of a clinic. In a simple terms, MobiDent is
the Uber of Dentistry.
Preventive dental care the new health care fashion
When people hear dental care they associate negative
feelings of fear, pain, lack of time and expensiveness. With
the growing trend of “selfies”, social validation and vanity,
MobiDent is focused on promoting preventive dental care
as either a healthy habit or special occasion habit.
For the health conscious MobiDent offers family care
service and for social conscious, MobiDent offers dental
care for special occasions.
