Corporate Vision Issue 9

6 CORPORATE VISION / Issue 9 2018 , Established inMarch 2017, Dentacoin is the first blockchain solution for the global dental industry. It is designed, fundamentally, as a way to improve dental care on a global scale. In May, Corporate Visionmagazine named Dentacoin as the Best Blockchain Solution Provider in Dental in the 2018 Corporate Excellence Awards. On the back of the win, we spoke to Co- Founder and Core Developer, Jeremias Grenzebach to find out the secret to their success. Forging a Dental Renaissance Designed foremost as a solution in the face of an overwhelming problem, Dentacoin is pitched as the answer to granting access to higher quality dental care around the world. To achieve this, they have designed a three-tiered process defined by mutual benefits for both the service provider and the patient. To go into more detail; Dentacoin can be earned through activities such as taking surveys, provid- ing feedback and maintaining proper dental care. As such, more people can afford treatment. The completion of activities provides valuable insight for the dentists, who receive regular feedback and nurture a loyal patient community. Lastly, as the number of overall treatments increases, the number of treatments for preventable prob- lems decreases, reducing wasted resources, and increasing overall service efficiency. It’s a novel ap- proach, putting the responsibility of engagement firmly in the individual and making them an active part of the sector’s reinvention. By all regards, Dentacoin are at the cutting edge of their industry. They have no direct competitors. But, naturally, as their growth accelerates, others will want to capitalise on this emerging market. We asked Jeremias how they plan to stay ahead of emerging trends and competitors following in their footsteps, “Important emerging trends can be recognised only when looking at the global industry. That’s why we are working closely with professionals with different competences worldwide. Also, we are highly engaged with the patient community. This combination helps us detect in advance trends with a chance for significant impact on the industry.” Jeremias continues, building on what makes Dentacoin different from other services, “Blockchain-based technological solutions are highly relevant to the healthcare services market, therefore there are general Health- care-centric Blockchain solutions, which are mainly focused on providing decentralised storage of patient records. Within the dental sector, currently, we do not have 1806CV30 real direct competitors at a similar development and adoption level. The concept stands out with the innovative Blockchain application for the purpose of creating a global dental ecosystem where patients’ health has a central place. Our project success can be solely measured by its adoption, by its growing network of users. Within this newly-created framework, network effects are triggered DentaCare App: The mobile guide to proper oral hygiene habits which rewards good results with Dentacoin (DCN) tokens.
