Smilo is a digital solution designed to modernize the workflow of dental practitioners. It offers a seamless way to manage appointments, conduct virtual consultations, and diagnose dental issues with visual clarity — all from a single mobile app.
The core goal was to empower dentists with a simple yet powerful interface that enhances efficiency and patient engagement, especially in hybrid/remote setups.
🧠 The Problem
Dental clinics often face:
Cluttered software with outdated UI
Difficulty managing virtual consultations and in-person schedules simultaneously
Poor communication tools between dentists and patients
A lack of visual diagnosis tools for remote treatment discussions
🎯 Goals
Streamline appointment scheduling
Enable real-time virtual consultations with visual aids
Improve communication between doctors and patients
Visualize dental diagnoses using interactive 3D x-ray mapping
🔍 User Research
We interviewed 6 dental practitioners across urban and semi-urban clinics. Key insights:
Most use 2–3 apps for scheduling, communication, and X-ray viewing
Patients often fail to understand diagnoses without visual aids
Dentists needed real-time toggling between calendar and patient information during consultations
