About Dr. Elaine Halley

She is the Clinical Director for the Pain Free Dentistry Group, a group of practices across Scotland where she mentors 34 associates, helping them integrate digital workflows.
Her journey with AI dentistry and radiology began with integrating it into her own practice as part of the patient experience and building on the digital workflow. This has now been implemented across all of the practices in the Pain Free Dentistry Group. She is a huge advocate of the digital workflow and is also a digital smile design instructor.

What is Diagnocat?
Diagnocat is an all-in-one AI software that uses advanced algorithms to analyse 2D and 3D dental images. It provides accurate screening reports using data from x-rays, CBCT scans and panoramic images, offering results in minutes, allowing you to provide faster, more reliable diagnoses.
It’s completely cloud-based and GDPR and HIPAA compliant. This means that you can log into the system from wherever you are and access your radiographs. You can either manually upload x-rays to the platform or have it automatically sync with your system, meaning that anytime you take an x-ray it automatically uploads it to the Diagnocat platform.
“Our patients want us to embrace the latest technology. They want to feel that we are being thorough and that we’re looking to give them the proper diagnosis.”
Key benefits of Diagnocat for modern dental practices
Diagnocat provides a game-changing advantage for modern dental practices by enhancing diagnostics, reducing human error, and improving patient communication.
Greater diagnostic accuracy and reduced human error
Research conducted by Diagnocat revealed a 30% reduction in omissions and diagnostic errors. It acts as a second pair of eyes and significantly reduces human error. This means earlier detection of potential issues, leading to more proactive and effective treatment planning.
Faster image analysis and increased efficiency
Diagnocat generates detailed reports within minutes, significantly cutting down the time needed for manual image review, giving you more time to focus on patient care.
Improved patient communication
One of the biggest challenges in dentistry is helping patients understand their diagnoses and treatment plans. Diagnocat provides patients with clear, visual insights into their dental health, making treatment plans easier to understand.
At Spot On Business Planning, we are committed to sharing expertise and innovative technologies to our clients and wider community. Excellence and integrity are two of our core values and make up the foundation of everything we do. These values align seamlessly with Diagnocat’s innovative AI technology, which upholds the highest standards of accuracy in dental diagnostics.
