🚀 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 🚀 Before that, I was employed: - secure job - a great team - secure income   But I wanted to build something for myself. So, I founded SMDC Swiss Medical Device Consulting GmbH.   💡 This is what I learned in the first month: 1. there is still a lot to learn; marketing and sales are at the forefront! 2. after many "no's" comes the occasional "yes", don't be discouraged if someone doesn't want to or can't work with you. 3. there are many companions who are in a similar position, but there are many more who are already further along and are happy to give tips -> if you ask. 4. the state mills work slowly. There are various registrations to be made for a new company, but certain offices need 3 months to process the electronically completed registration and the answer is sent by post 😊.   Do you have any tips for self-employment? #SMDC #Solopreneur #lassmachen

*Launch of CUREO 4* 🚀 Thanks to great teamwork at CUREosity GmbH and our various experts, we have once again succeeded in setting new standards in the field of virtual reality therapy. 🎇 Especially the three aspects that have already made #CUREO unique for our numerous customers in the past have been strengthened enormously; Also seen in our latest video(1:35 Minutes), which I really recommend to watch! https://lnkd.in/eDuNYvBv *Efficiency* The smart training plan feature received a big improvement: With the training plan, a sequence of training sessions with a total duration of up to 60 minutes can be created and played back automatically. This allows therapists to concentrate on other patients or important documentation at the same time without compromising the quality of therapy. Additional efficiency gains are achieved by the further reduction in set-up time, as the system now starts up even more quickly and easily. In addition, with #CUREO GROUP, one therapist can now treat up to six patients at the same time and keep an eye on their training progress via one single tablet. *Effectiveness* The potential of VR therapy with #CUREO has been further enhanced through rapid and individual customisability to the respective therapy goals, as well as a multi-stage development process accompanied by various therapy experts. Numerous studies support this possibility and at the same time show what developments are and will be possible in the future with a partnership with us at CUREosity GmbH. For further informations an example evidence: "Effectiveness of Using Virtual Reality–Supported Exercise Therapy for Upper Extremity Motor Rehabilitation in Patients With Stroke: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials" https://lnkd.in/e9Dknmfd *Versatility* CUREO4 also has a lot to offer in terms of available new trainings: The hand module has been expanded so that isolated individual movements (supination, extension and opening the hand) as well as hand combination movements can now be practiced for greater everyday ability. With the new field of vision test and the new field of vision training, #CUREO is now even more relevant for use with neglect patients. In the ADL module, great emphasis was placed on further improving movement action and action planning. Additional in the Update is also a general processing of the worlds with playful elements such as the new, social interactions with a virtual person in #CUREO contribute to increasing motivation and adherence to therapy and thus to achieving the therapy goals. What happens now? If you or your organisation are already using CUREO or would like to use it in the future, please contact me. 😊 Picture: Myself at the leading neurological rehabilitation congress in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico together with one of our 20 partner companies all over the world.

Today we would like to present our newly published study, which was compiled by three of us: Prof. Dr. Etyene Schnurr, Dr. Ulrich Volz and Dr. Gregor Hocevar. Their focus was on the esthetics and functionality of zirconia implants in the posterior region. The study showed how ceramic implants can be used successfully in difficult areas such as the posterior maxilla. Using innovative techniques and biomaterials, SDS implants achieved a 100% implant survival rate in the four young patients included in this study. #studyofthemonth #swissdentalsolutions #ceramicimplants #studies #science #dentistry #dentist #implantology

Choosing the right biomaterials for bone grafting can have a massive effect on the rest of the patients life. Using Geistlich Bio-Oss and Geistlich Bio-Gide allows the patient to donate blood afterwards. Using allografts does not! So make sure the patient has the choice. Donation can mean a lot to them and even more to the person receiving the blood. #regenerationexpert #exactlygeistlich #leadingregeneration #dental #blooddonation #dentist #biooss #biogide #biomaterials

I'm proud to work in a company where we have a trusting environment that encourages communication. 🌟There’s no doubt about what the basis of DE&I should be: communication. 🌟 At Dentsply Sirona, we work with the concept of a Conversation of Understanding (COU), a structured, proactive approach to fostering dialogue and empathy within our workplace community. As part of our ongoing DE&I Month celebration, we hosted a company-wide COU on the topic of ‘Psychological Safety in the workplace’. But what exactly is psychological safety in the workplace? 💡 It's about feeling empowered to take risks, share ideas and concerns, be curious, and admit mistakes without fear of repercussions. It's the bedrock of a healthy, thriving work environment. 🎙️Our three conversation champions Kim Mongiello, Bruce Peatey, and Lisia Malcolm drove the conversation by sharing their personal stories and experiences. Their insights illuminated why psychological safety is not just important, but essential at Dentsply Sirona. By nurturing a culture of openness and trust, we empower our teams to excel, innovate, and bring their authentic selves to work. We firmly believe that by embracing diversity and fostering psychological safety, we unlock the full potential of our workforce. In essence creating an environment that allows us all to show up to work as our authentic selves, leveraging our superpowers – our key strengths! #proudtobeDS #diversity #psychologicalsafety #ERG

𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐄𝐲𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲🔬👁️‍🗨️ Haag-Streit has introduced the Eyesi Indirect Ophthalmoscope ROP Simulator, a groundbreaking tool aimed at refining the training of ophthalmologists. Specifically designed for retinal examinations in preterm infants and the classification of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a leading cause of preventable childhood blindness worldwide, this simulator integrates a high-fidelity training system. Medical residents can now practice device handling and make crucial decisions in a lifelike yet safe environment. With a 3D simulation of the patient's eye, precise alignment of the ophthalmoscope mimic, handheld lens, and patient’s eye is vital for visualizing the retina, enhancing proficiency in this critical aspect of paediatric ophthalmology training. Meanwhile, in Singapore, cases of severe myopia among children have nearly doubled over the past decade, according to the Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC). Currently, up to 20 percent of children exhibit high myopia, defined as more than 500 degrees in each eye, compared to just around 10 percent ten years ago. Children as young as six are now requiring glasses, a notable shift from the previous average age of 12. Associate Professor Marcus Ang, head of the corneal and refractive surgery departments at SNEC, attributes this rise to a lack of outdoor time, with more children immersed in digital devices and increased screen time, especially due to the integration of such devices into school curricula. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated this trend, with both parents and children becoming more reliant on screens for education and communication. However, Professor Ang highlights recent advancements in myopia control, ranging from specialised glasses and contact lenses to innovative eye drops that can slow myopia progression in children, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the concerning trend. Several other companies have created a variety of technologies and devices customised to meet the specific requirements of infant eyecare, encompassing retinal imaging, vision screening, and more. These companies include: Heidelberg Engineering, Topcon Healthcare, Visionix USA (formerly Luneau Technology USA & Optovue Inc.), NIDEK USA, Welch Allyn, CLARITY MEDICAL SYSTEMS, Plusoptix, Inc., and more.

Dentsply Sirona made headlines at the recent European Congress of DentoMaxilloFacial Radiology (ECDMFR) held in Freiburg, Germany. In collaboration with Siemens Healthineers, the two companies presented details about the ongoing development of the world's first dental-dedicated magnetic resonance imaging (ddMRI) system. One of the most transformative features of the ddMRI system is its ability to provide soft tissue contrast, previously unattainable in dental imaging – allowing dental professionals to see what was up to now unseen. By delivering comprehensive information on soft tissues, nerves, and inflammatory activities, this technology has the potential to enable early detection of oral diseases and may therefore help to prevent over or undertreatment. Initial clinical trials showed promising results in radiation-free imaging for various dental conditions, including 3rd molar extraction, endodontics, temporomandibular disorder (TMJ), periodontitis, and orthodontics. https://lnkd.in/dGZeFDRe
