Mike Vogel
Mike Vogel is a key member of the Holland Healthcare team. In the roundtable discussion, Mike offers a live demonstration using the TelScope Telehealth System and even examines his own mouth to show the power of TelScope’s illumination and how it transforms your smart device into an intraoral camera. He also reviews how the TelScope Telehealth System integrates with the Teledentix provider app to offer a complete teledentistry solution for dental professionals.

In the live demonstration of TelScope Telehealth System, Mike shows how the device illuminates the mouth for an intraoral examination. He then shows how you can capture intraoral teledentistry images and videos. The demonstration also includes a walkthrough of accessing and annotating the patient images/videos, and then uploading them into patient files and your user portal on the Teledentix provider app.

“It’s all at the tip your fingers, right there on your phone,” he remarks on the vast amount of features offered by the Teledentix provider app.

“We had, early on, assumed intraoral cameras were going to be the solution. We built a lot of our application to support intraoral cameras out in the field. But this (TelScope Telehealth System) is so much better, and I’m saying that just as much professionally as I am having worked with other people who have used TelScope. So much easier to use than an intraoral camera, and it’s also something that a non-professional can use quite easily… Now we have a tool that, frankly I think it takes as good or better an image. We’re really excited to work with Holland Healthcare on this integration,” said Teledentix co-founder, Dr. William Jackson.

“Teledentix has been amazing in the instance of providing an app, for instance. I love the accessibility, the app function, not needing WiFi. I had an experience with TelScope at COMOM (Colorado Mission of Mercy), where we saw 650 patients and they received oral healthcare services at no cost to them. I worked with Susan Cotten and I met Mike, who gave me this new gadget to use while I was there. I was thrilled to dive in under the expertise of Susan Cotten and her impeccable expertise on oral cancer. Most of the patients were streamlined through their health history form. If they were current smokers or tobacco chewers, they were filtered through our section of oral cancer screening. We took a look at their intraoral tissues. The illumination from the TelScope was amazing, illuminating the entire oral cavity. Pictures were taken of lesions. We sent them to the oral surgeon in a HIPAA compliant form. At one point there was something going on behind a patient’s uvula, and that’s when Mike showed me there was a video function in the app. I used TelScope on every person in my chair and I quickly got used to it. I’d like to use it on all of my patients just as a standard of care.” said Sarah Tanner on TelScope.
