It helps dental professionals plan and manage personalized treatment, enables patients to track progress, and enhances communication between both parties. Smile Genius utilizes advanced technology like 3D modeling and AI to optimize treatment plans and strives to improve the overall orthodontic experience.

    PROJECT BACKGROUND

    A Peek into
    My Journey....

    The Smile Genius UX project began with a spark of inspiration. As a UX designer, I am excited to take you through this project, which revolves around designing a user-centric website for Smile Genius, an innovative dental technology platform.

    Delving into the Issue

    I wanted to create a website that effectively bridges the gap between dental professionals , patients and bussiness aggregator increasing the conversion rate to onboard customers onto the Smile Genius platform. Mission is to visually represent this connection through an exceptional user experience, ensuring that users readily engage with Smile Genius and reap its benefits.

    With a cup full of
    idea and a mind full of thoughts,

    The team is geared up to tackle the task of crafting a website that mirrors the innovation and dedication of Smile Genius. Our mission is to design an intuitive, informative, and engaging platform that elevates the orthodontic experience for both dental professionals and patients.

    PROCESS

    How I approached
    this project.

    1.

    Exploration

    I started by researching dental technology and clear aligner treatments. I studied the industry, including competitors, and interviewed potential users to understand their needs and challenges in orthodontic care.

    2.

    Conception

    I turned research insights into clear goals, collaborating closely with the Smile Genius team to align our efforts and achieve our objectives.

    3.

    Creation

    In the project's progression, I worked closely with users to create high-fidelity mockups featuring user-friendly interfaces. With iterative design and feedback from the Smile Genius team and users, we crafted a user-centric platform aiming to enhance orthodontic care efficiency and accessibility.

    EXPLORATION

    The Problem in this
    industry

    The Problem in this industry

    Globally 85% of world population could need an orthodontic treatment, but only 1% could access it. Currently not enough dentists do these orthodontic treatments and most refer patients to orthodontists, who have limited access and charge 3-4x than a general dentist. The new clinics/businesses that have started offering clear aligner services, have to use 6-7 platforms, spend thousands of $$ on building internal tools which incurs costs and delays their time to market.

    Why there is need of a platform like Smile Genius

    No end-to-end software exists for the category for new businesses

    Businesses wasting funds and time to market to reinvent the wheel when it comes to workflow software

    Big Companies (Invisalign and Clear) investing hugely in digital workflows

    User Problem

    Daniel is struggling with managing all the different platforms like Zoom, Lab Portal, scanning machines etc managing patient which are time consuming juggle manage the manufacture of the product, the time-consuming aligner process with patients.

    -Receptionist

    Brianna is a 25-year-old bank Manager living in Dublin. She is single and it is very important to maintain health while working and its very important to get the correct doctor but sometime its lacks transparence and to understand the treatment process.

    - Patient

    Difficulty reaching the right decision-makers: Dental practices and labs may be small businesses with limited resources, and it can be difficult to identify and connect with the right person who is responsible for making purchasing decisions.
Resistance to change: Dental practices and labs may be resistant to trying new products or services, and may be more likely to stick with what they have used in the past.
Limited time: Dental practices and labs may be busy with patients and have limited time to evaluate new products or services.
Lack of trust: Dental practices and labs may be hesitant to trust a new company, especially if they don't have a solid reputation in the industry.

Idea.

Employing various ideation methods, I delved into the exploration and generation of insights based on the research, ultimately formulating ideas for the website's user flow, information architecture, and style.
