Boneprox is collaborating with partners such as SINTEF and the Center for Oral Health Services and Research to detect abnormalities as early as possible on x-rays. The data to be used is from HUNT4 (Health Survey in Trøndelag) and is one of the world's largest and most successful health studies in the world. The project «AI-Dentify» is already underway and will last 4 years.
"The incidence of oral diseases, mainly dental caries and periodontitis, are increasing all over the world, which results in serious health and economic consequences, and reduces the quality of life for those affected." In addition, we have the Covid-19 pandemic on top of it all,” says Theodor Remman (co-founder of Boneprox) referring to a new study “Journal of Clinical Periodontology” published by the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP).
"There is no reason why Norway should not be at the forefront of AI and dental health in the world. We are therefore proud and very grateful that the Research Council of Norway shares our vision. Boneprox wants to connect the health sectors so that oral health in the future is treated with equal importance compared to the rest of the body,” Remman concludes.
Boneprox also recently raised external capital to continue the growth internationally together with BioGaia and BackingMinds.
