Arcus is a digital dental check-up solution to enable patients to check their teeth, anytime, anywhere. Our device and software enables dentists to increase the efficiency of check-ups, improving access to oral health care, thereby tackling the global dental crisis. The Arcus solution works in three key steps: 1. Patients receive their Arcus device from their dental practice. At home, the patient uses this device to take highly detailed, representative images of their mouth. 2. Leveraging Arcus' AI algorithms, these images are processed, allowing dentists to review and edit the AI-analysed results and gain a comprehensive understanding of their patients’ oral health in just minutes. 3. Dentists send back the check-up results to their patients through the Arcus platform, outlining any further actions required. The submitted design model showcases the Arcus device, featuring a removable mouthpiece, a wide-angle lens system, and a broad-spectrum LED array that enables thorough imaging of the entire oral cavity, revealing details even beneath the tooth enamel.
