This Usability & Workflow Efficiency Study evaluates how scanO integrates into routine dental workflows and its measurable impact on clinical efficiency, patient understanding, preventive care adoption, and operational scalability across diverse practice environments in India.
The study focuses on real-world performance indicators related to:
Key Outcomes
Time efficiency
Patient trust and engagement
Preventive care acceptance
Workflow automation and scalability
scanO is designed to support dental professionals by functioning as a pre-consultation screening and communication layer, assisting, rather than replacing, clinical decision-making.
The Challenge in Preventive Dentistry
Across clinics and outreach programs, preventive dentistry often encounters:
Challenge List
Time-constrained consultations
Heavy reliance on verbal explanation
Difficulty in visualizing early or asymptomatic conditions
Inconsistent acceptance of preventive treatments
Operational inefficiencies in high-volume settings
Usability & Patient Trust: From Explanation to Visual Evidence
scanO introduces AI-assisted visual screening that enhances patient comprehension and confidence.
Usability-driven outcomes
Patients receive AI-annotated intraoral images and digital summaries
Reports are instantly shareable on personal devices
Visual clarity reduces ambiguity and repeated explanations
Observed impact
Patient trust levels reported at 80–100%
Reduction in repeated “why” based questioning
Higher engagement during and after consultations
Clinicians consistently reported smoother, more decisive treatment discussions.
Time Efficiency
Measurable Time Savings
Time efficiency emerged as one of the most consistent and impactful benefits.
10–25 min
Saved per patient
40–50%
Reduction in diagnostic and explanation time
8–12 min
Average consultation time reduced from ~20 minutes
Operational implication
Approximately 400–600 additional clinical hours freed per clinic per year, without extending working hours
Clinics can see more patients in the same working hours, while dentists feel less tired and mentally strained.
Preventive Care Acceptance: Clarity Drives Decisions
Improved visualization and understanding directly influenced treatment follow-through.
CASE ACCEPTANCE
80–95%
Up from 40–60%
Massive Uplift
ABSOLUTE UPLIFT

"This increase was driven by evidence-based understanding rather than
sales-driven persuasion."
Automation in some outreach and screening programs
Outreach & Community Screening Performance
In community, institutional, and corporate screening programs, scanO enabled:
Screenings completed in 60–90 seconds per individual
20–30% follow-up rates post-screening
2× improvement in conversion from awareness to action
These outcomes transformed outreach programs into measurable, repeatable preventive care funnels.
Behavioral Impact Beyond Efficiency
Self-initiated screenings in waiting areas
Increased participation from attendants and family members
Improved cooperation among pediatric patients
Preventive screening perceived as standard practice
10–30% Increase
In secondary conversions (attendants, referrals, follow-ups) without additional marketing spend.
Financial & ROI Indicators
While revenue varies by clinic, consistent directional outcomes were observed:
2× ROI reported within the first few months of adoption in multiple settings
10–15 incremental patients per month attributed to scanO-enabled workflows in some clinics
Revenue uplift driven by higher acceptance and follow-ups,not discounting or increased advertising
Summary Metrics
Across real-world deployments, scanO demonstrated:
25–35%
Increase in case acceptance
1.7×–3×
Improvement in conversion rates
10–25
Minutes saved per patient
400–600
Clinical hours freed per clinic per year
60–80%
Reduction in manual admin effort
2× ROI
Reported in multiple environments
Conclusion:
scanO is not just an AI screening device, it is a workflow intelligence layer for preventive dentistry.
By improving usability, visual clarity, and operational efficiency, scanO enables:
Earlier patient understanding
Faster, evidence-based decisions
Higher preventive care adoption
Scalable, sustainable dental workflows
These combined effects explain why scanO integrates effectively across diverse clinical and outreach environments- supporting both patient outcomes and practice growth.
