AI oral health screening through smilo.ai
Research from the Registry of Senior Australians Research Centre and the South Australian Oral Health Plan Older Person’s Working Group reveals a stark reality: one in five aged care residents have significant oral health problems, and between 2017 and 2020, over 5,000 residents were hospitalised with preventable dental or oral health-related diagnoses.
Smilo.ai is an AI-powered platform using smartphone technology to deliver instant dental screenings at the bedside. Lutheran Services and UnitingCare are already pioneering its use across their facilities.
How it works:
- Staff photograph residents’ mouths using a smartphone
- AI analyses images with 91% accuracy
- A qualified dentist reviews the analysis
- Detailed treatment reports are generated
- Residents connect with dental providers for follow-up
Traditional barriers, cost, mobility, and transport have left too many residents without adequate oral health care. Smilo.ai brings professional dental screening directly to residents, addressing a critical gap in aged care.
The platform complies with Australian privacy regulations, with all data stored securely on Australian servers.
