As Medicasimple, we participated in the 25th European Association for Dental Education (EDAD) Congress in September 2021, one of the most significant events shaping the future of dental education. This first major event in our company's founding journey was invaluable for both learning and networking.

The Heart of Digital Transformation: Technology in Education

While listening to presentations at the congress, we witnessed how rapidly digital transformation in dental education is progressing. Especially after the pandemic, digital learning platforms and simulation technologies have become necessities rather than luxuries.

This aligns perfectly with our focus at Medicasimple: digitizing clinic management processes to make dentists' work easier. Our conversations with educators at the congress showed us how open the next generation of dentists is to technology.

The Power of Networking

At EDAD 2021, we had the opportunity to meet dental educators, students, and technology companies from across Europe. These meetings were valuable not only for business development but also for keeping our finger on the industry's pulse.

Highlighted topics included:

  • Virtual reality use in dental education
  • Pre-clinical training simulations
  • Integration of digital patient record systems into education
  • Sustainable dentistry practices

Parallel Developments with Medicasimple's Vision

The presentations we attended at the congress were perfectly aligned with the philosophy we've championed from the beginning: dentistry involves not just treatment, but also efficient clinic management.

One of the biggest challenges young dentists face after graduation is clinic management. This is exactly where Medicasimple's mission comes into play: simplifying complex processes and providing human-centered solutions through technology.

Our Future Plans

Our experience at EDAD 2021 was instrumental in shaping our roadmap. We saw the potential for collaboration with educational institutions and decided to include projects in this area in our future plans.

We specifically aim to:

  • Develop special training programs for dental faculties
  • Create clinic management modules for internship processes
  • Establish mentorship programs for young dentists

EDAD 2021, our first major industry event, wasn't just a participation for us; it was a learning and growth experience. Closely following trends in dental education will also influence our product development processes. With our participation in events planned for 2022, we aim to strengthen our position in the sector and reach more dentists.
