  • Publication number: 20260171258
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to identifying a status of a patient such as in a dental or other medical treatment room. In one aspect, the solutions provide a system to determine whether the patient is anxious and/or a degree of anxiety of the patient. The solutions can include training a model such as a large language model (LLM). In a training phase, data is gathered from patients, the environments of treatment rooms and equipment of the treatment rooms during various medical procedures for a patient population. The model is then trained to correlate the data with a degree of anxiety. Once the model is trained, it can be deployed to determine whether an individual patient is anxious and to take appropriate countermeasures to reduce anxiety.

  • Patent number: 12530184
    Abstract: Dental operatories with a plurality of networked devices may only require firmware updates for a subset of the devices. In embodiments, the plurality of networked devices are queried to determine a current firmware revision for each device. An update service then builds an update package that only includes firmware update images for those devices determined to have out of date firmware, thereby saving time and network bandwidth. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Publication number: 20240038377
    Abstract: A dental equipment service application that allows for capture of an image of a component of a dental equipment, and using the image to search for a replacement, is described. In embodiments, the image is used to search a database of replacement parts, such as with a machine learning algorithm. Possible replacement parts may be provided via an API to facilitate purchase. The application may further allow access to diagnostic information on the equipment and documentation relevant to the replacement parts. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
