Helping to increase Treatment Plan acceptance by over 27%


guru is a market leading standalone computer based interactive education tool that uses unique "stop, draw and teach technology" to help dentists and hygienists explain why a particular treatment is their preferred recommendation. Now, with increasing demands on the profession to monitor and encourage a preventive approach, guru provides an excellent chair side tool. With patients increasingly familiar with the application of new technology, guru provides a fantastic all-round experience for patients, improving patient communication and increasing treatment plan acceptance.

Chair side

Import images from your intra-oral or SLR camera , digital x-ray or other imaging source and combine them with guru’s amazing pre-installed animations to give your patient a clear understanding of their condition and your recommended treatment options.

With an array of easy to use drawing and annotation tools at your fingertips, communication becomes simple, effective and less time consuming.

Your drawings, annotations and details of animations shown can be easily saved to the patients record within guru for future reference. This feature is invaluable when it comes to ensuring compliance with CQC guidelines around informed consent.

Here are some images taken from a typical patient consultation, where a cracked tooth has been diagnosed and root canal treatment and a crown has been recommended as the best form of treatment. Note that in the final picture the stills have been saved to the patient’s record along with a date and time stamp.

Waiting Room

If you want to tell your waiting patients about promotions, new treatments or your team’s bid to conquer Kilimanjaro for charity, guru is an ideal solution. Out of the box, guru will allow you to create your own, unique presentations and play them on a loop to your captive audience. Presentations can be played in full screen mode for that professionally created look.

Combine the pre-installed animations and educational movies with your own artwork and pictures to create the message you want. Files can be imported from Powerpoint, Photoshop and hundreds of other imaging and design software packages in just a few clicks.

Updating your presentations couldn’t be simpler either. Drag and drop new images in, delete unwanted ones and re-order in just seconds with guru’s easy, intuitive interface. Even a computer novice can do it!

Your website is your shop window to the world and often the first thing a person will see when they come across any business. It goes without saying then that it needs to impress if it’s to turn an enquiry into a patient.
When you buy guru you can use any animation or insight movie on your website. This is ideal if you have treatment pages or a section on oral healthcare or education. The content is streamed from our servers so there is no need to for you to purchase additional web space or bandwith allowance and we provide you with all the code you need to embed the content into your website.

“Thanks to guru no more blank looks when my hand contortions fail to explain to intricacies of endodontics or implantology. A comprehensive collection of realistic (but not scary!) animations which brings procedures to life and those “penny dropping” expressions makes the investment absolutely worthwhile. Fantastic! Thank you!”
