Summary
This study introduces Dent@Prevent, a mobile app helping patients share health data. It aims to improve care for patients with multiple chronic conditions and dental issues.
Area of Science:
- Oral health
- Chronic disease management
- Digital health
Background:
- Growing evidence links dental diseases with chronic systemic conditions.
- Healthcare providers often lack comprehensive patient data for managing multimorbidities.
- Patient engagement is crucial for bridging care gaps and enhancing intersectoral collaboration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present the user interface (UI) concept for the Dent@Prevent mobile application.
- To evaluate the prototype of the Dent@Prevent mobile application.
- To support interdisciplinary care for patients with co-occurring dental and chronic diseases.
Main Methods:
- Development of a user interface concept for a patient-facing mobile application.
- Prototyping of the Dent@Prevent mobile application.
- Evaluation of the application prototype's usability and effectiveness.
Main Results:
- The user interface concept was developed and a prototype was created.
- Initial evaluation of the prototype informed further development.
- The application is designed for patients to report health status for better interdisciplinary care.
Conclusions:
- The Dent@Prevent mobile application has the potential to improve information flow for multimorbid patients.
- Patient-reported data can facilitate better interdisciplinary care coordination.
- Further development and evaluation are needed to optimize the application for clinical use.

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution...

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Self-help support groups are voluntary, community-based organizations that provide a platform for individuals with shared concerns to exchange support, insights, and practical strategies for coping with life challenges. Typically led by group members or paraprofessionals, these groups form a cornerstone of mental health care, especially in reaching populations that are underserved by traditional healthcare systems.

01:30Support Reactions
1.5K
A coplanar force system refers to a set of forces that all lie in the same plane and are subject to different reactions between the point of contact and the supports. Understanding how different types of supports affect coplanar forces is crucial for designing safe and reliable structures that can withstand external loads.
The purpose of the supports is to prevent the translational motion of the system by applying an equal and opposite force and to prevent the system's rotation by applying...
