AI agent for dental hygienists
Home Care Plan Follow-up Agent
Improve home care follow-through between visits
What it does
Hygienists give home care advice, like interdental brushes or a fluoride rinse, but follow-through at home is low. This agent records the home care plan agreed at the visit and sends the patient a short plan summary. It checks in at two and six weeks with simple questions about how it is going. It logs the answers. If the patient reports trouble, such as sensitivity from a product or difficulty using a brush, it alerts the hygienist to adjust the plan. At the next visit, it gives the hygienist a summary of the answers next to the bleeding scores from the chart, so progress is easy to see. The hygienist approves any plan change. Edge case: patients who opted out of messages are tracked chairside only.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
