The purpose of the platform is to support the dental community, by developing solutions, aimed at improving the quality of dental services, throughout the world. The Dentacoin Foundation encompasses roughly 20 core team members and was founded by Prof. Dr. Dimitar Dimitrakiev, Philipp Grenzebach (Business Developer), and Jeremias Grenzebach (Core Developer) in February 2017, in the Netherlands. Overview The goal of the foundation and its product is the development of relevant tools for each market participant of the dental industry - from patient and dentist to laboratories and manufacturers. Entities using and implementing these tools are rewarded for their contribution with Dentacoin tokens, which can be later used for dental treatment payments, or purchase of dental products. Trusted Review Platform A blockchain review platform for dental practices that aims at providing more transparency for the patient, as well as providing dentists with market research data and feedback. The underlying mechanisms in the self-executing Ethereum smart contracts prevent tampering with the posted reviews. The mutual responsibility of dentists and patients is supported by the incentive structure, behind Dentacoin. Dentacare - Health Training mobile app A mobile app, aimed at creating dental care habits, by applying a gamified experience to a 3-month program. Users are educated on possibilities to improve their oral hygiene and form habits, by means of relevant tutorials, voice assistance, push notifications, as well as reminders. DentaVox A platform for customer intelligence, that rewards the opinions of users on topics relevant to oral health and at the same time aggregates market research data for dentists, suppliers and manufacturers. The data is collected, by means of questionnaires on topics of variable length - from the initial 8-question survey to more comprehensive ones with 100. Completing these surveys rewards the user with the corresponding amount of DCN, in accordance with the length of the questionnaire and their efforts.
