Curve Dental has released CurveEd, free, Web-based patient education software that features a series of professional 3D videos that can be viewed on a PC, Mac, iPad, or iPhone.
"Many offices don't use patient education software because of high licensing costs combined with the heavy chore of installing, training, supporting, upgrading, and backing up of additional server-based software," said Jim Pack, CEO of Curve Dental, in a press release. "CurveEd solves all those problems. There's no installation, upgrade, or backup worries and no need for expensive training or support. Providing the service at no charge makes it even easier for the doctor, hygienist, or dental assistant to put it to use to the benefit of the patient and the practice."
CurveEd provides more than 60 different dental patient education videos in 11 different categories. Each video is professionally narrated and was created by a team of dentists to ensure accuracy with regard to anatomy and procedure.
CurveEd allows the dental team to show patient education videos within the practice or send a Web link to their patient via e-mail. When a video link is sent by e-mail, CurveEd tracks what video link was sent to which patient and whether the patient opened the e-mail and clicked on the link to the video. Detailed tracking can help the practice build a comprehensive patient history and show proper jurisprudence.
Initial registration provides the practice with access to about one-third of the library. By referring CurveEd to two colleagues, the doctor or team member will then have access to the entire library while giving other dental professionals the opportunity to utilize the free service in their practices, the company said.
