Orthodontic Cloud Solutions

Client: Orthodontic Cloud Solutions provides industry-leading orthodontic software, technology solutions, and services via the cloud. Their specialized, browser-based practice management system helps orthodontic professionals enhance staff productivity, streamline workflows, and improve overall efficiency in patient care.

Challenge: As a recognized leader in the orthodontic software industry, Orthodontic Cloud Solutions aimed to expand its market reach by introducing mobile applications for its user base. The client required a cross-platform mobile solution and sought an architectural review of their existing implementation to ensure the backend was scalable and adaptable for the new mobile app. The challenge was to leverage the existing backend infrastructure, built in .NET MVC, and make the necessary architectural improvements to support the mobile application seamlessly.

Solution: SSI conducted a thorough review of the existing architecture and identified key improvements to enable the integration of the mobile app with the current backend system. The solution included several critical backend upgrades to ensure compatibility and optimize performance for mobile users:

  • Shared Library: SSI introduced a shared library that allowed for data model reuse between the frontend and backend, eliminating dependencies and ensuring smoother integration between the two layers.
  • API Layer: A new API layer was added to allow the mobile application to reference the existing backend through the shared data models, making the transition seamless and reducing the need for redundant data processing.

In parallel, SSI worked with the client to design detailed UI/UX mockups for the mobile application, which were reviewed and approved. The mobile application was developed using React Native, a powerful, fast-growing framework that supports both Android and iOS platforms, ensuring the solution was scalable and efficient.

The mobile application included several core features tailored to orthodontic professionals:

  • Tenant and Rights-Based Access: Secure login and user-specific permissions to ensure data privacy and access control.
  • Configurable Schedule View: A customizable practice schedule that enhances operational efficiency.
  • Patient Dashboard: A comprehensive view of patient history and treatment details for quick reference.
  • Image Gallery: A section to upload and view X-rays and other diagnostic images related to patient symptoms and progress.

Result: The mobile application, with its intuitive design and user-friendly interface, enabled dental practitioners to effortlessly manage their practice schedules and stay up to date on patient treatments, all from their mobile devices. This enhanced flexibility and ease of access allowed users to improve productivity and streamline workflows, further solidifying Orthodontic Cloud Solutions as an industry leader.

The powerful, cross-platform mobile app gave Orthodontic Cloud Solutions a distinct competitive advantage by offering a modern, efficient, and accessible solution for orthodontic practices. The app’s success has positioned the company for further growth and market expansion.
