Telehealth System

“Great! Showed my colleagues today the quality of the footage and they were so impressed 👍”

“In my business, I work closely with aged care residents and their carers. I love using the TelScope to conduct an efficient, intraoral examination that I can refer back to at a later stage. I use the TelScope Telehealth System to send photos to other clinicians in my team for treatment planning, and to share these images securely with the residents’ family members who often aren’t at the appointments. These high quality images help the families to better understand the patient’s oral health conditions. The TelScope Telehealth System makes communication with my patients, their families, and their carers so much easier.”
-Shida Taheri, Dental Hygienist & Oral Health Therapist, Dental Hygienist Association of Australia

As a board-certified pediatric dentist, I enjoy using the TelScope in the clinical setting for several months, now. I am primarily utilizing it to document oral lesions and other clinical findings and then upload those into the patient’s chart. I am also using the device to expand my clinical “library” for case presentations for teaching purposes with pediatric dentistry residents. However, I am most excited about the potential for digital triage, screening, and referrals inter-professionally (dental-dental, dental-medical, medical-medical). The ease with which a clinician can illuminate and examine the entire oral cavity and throat, capture images, and then connect and securely transmit those images with any desired mark-up and commentary can greatly enhance efficient and timely referral, improve patient satisfaction, and address the difficulties of access for rural and underserved populations. We have begun fielding TelScopes into several rural pediatric medical practices in our state, and I look forward to seeing measurable results in the near future.”

“The TelScope is a fantastic idea. I’ve actually just recently purchased only for myself and am so impressed with how easy it is to use, and the fact that you can take video footage and still images is going to be a game changer I think!”
-Holly Tickner, Senior Speech Pathologist, Next Challenge, Townsville, AU

“I used the TelScope to show my own orthodontist something he wanted to see. I plan to show the device to classes, clinicians, parents, and patients I teach.”
-Diane Bahr, MS, CCC-SLP, CIMI, Ages & Stages, TalkTools

“I was able to visualize that tonsils and uvula had been removed and got a clear image of the throat! While viewing the same image, I captured a clear image of a filling on a back tooth.”
-Tracy Hicks, RN (School nurse), Knox County Schools, USA

-Colette Wintersteen, Product Manager, Benco Dental

“I’m Sherri Lukes and have been a hygienist for 40 years, teaching general/oral pathology and conducting research at So Ill University. In teaching oral pathology, getting good quality images can be difficult. Running around the clinic to locate the intraoral camera to capture images of lesions can also be challenging. I recently used Holland Healthcare’s Telscope intraoral camera while doing mission work in Mexico. The fact that it attaches right to my cell phone made it very easy to use. The app has multiple features that can be especially useful to enhance images for better diagnosis. We were able to capture an image of a lesion, send it digitally (and securely) to a dental practitioner in the states and achieve a clinical diagnosis in a matter of minutes. I see great potential for this type of camera in dental practices.”

“I’ve adapted the TelScope system to facilitate intraoral forensic imaging on a dedicated device in my armetarium at the medical examiner’s department. Every case I examine requires a full odontogram and photos of the dentition, along with radiographs, but some cases present more challenges to accomplish these needs. Not only has the TelScope made intraoral forensic photography easier for me, simply using the device for the outstanding intraoral illumination and crystal clear visualization has assisted me to be more efficient during dental charting as well.”

Forensic Consultant, San Diego County Office of the Medical Examiner

“I would love to be able to provide this to my aged care facility staff. I can’t see my patients anymore with restrictions so these would help us SO much when providing advice to patients from afar. We are starting to use teledentistry modes to help the elderly in these facilities but it’s hard when a professional can’t be present! What an awesome invention!”
-Senior Dental Care Australia

“Assessing oral health and hygiene is now made extra easy for dental and non-dental care professionals. The high res images make record keeping and teledentistry consults fast, accurate, and super comfortable for the patient. Definitely on a winner for teledentistry as well as all of the many other uses.”
-Dr. Mark Wotherspoon, Founder and Principal Dentist at Dentist To Your Door, Australia

“I am excited to use TelScope this weekend performing oral cancer screenings at our Mission of Mercy. This will be a game changer, we can now capture photos and send them to a specialist.”
-Susan Cotten RDH BSDH OMT

“I had the opportunity use TelScope at COMOM this year. I used it on every patients, ❤️ it. When a suspicious lesion was present it was awesome to get the phone and capture a picture to a HIPPA compliant app for an Oral Surgeon to reference to.”
Sarah Tanner RDH, BSDH Colorado Mission of Mercy

“The way that we are using the Telscope System is in our community outreach sealant program and nursing home program. I first purchased laptops and intraoral cameras to use for a teledentistry sealant program to be able to store and forward pictures of molars for sealants to be prescribed. The first school that I went to I had practiced getting on the internet by remotely VPNing into University server in the parking lot of the school and it worked. The day we went to do the screening and was inside the building I had difficulty getting thru the school’s firewalls etc. We were delayed an hour while the elementary school IT and the University’s IT people worked on the issue. I had started researching your product before I ever saw you at RDH Under One Roof and realized that this system could solve my issue of logging into the school’s internet and having to use up other people’s time trying to solve my problems since I am not a tech savvy person. The next school we screened we used the TelScope system and it was so much easier to use. I was able to store the information and bring it back to our supervising dentist. We came up with a system when the doctor looks at the photo’s he uses the draw function on the Ipad screen and puts a checkmark if we can place a sealant on the molar and places his initials and then we can go back and put notes in the patient’s chart after he is done. The students were also using the draw feature to label the tooth numbers of the photos. The next thing we are going to implement is the diagnodent score directly on the photo of the tooth so he has more than just a photo to prescribe from. We also used the system at our nursing home rotations and took photos after placing the disclosing solution on the patients so we would have a record of before and after photos to show the improvement that we are having on the resident’s oral health care. The photos are so much clearer than the intraoral camera photo’s that we have been taking. We are still learning how to get the images that we want but after the training we had yesterday I hope that it will improve.”

-Dr. Ben Hechler, MD, DDS – Head and Neck Surgeon at Duke University Hospital
