Custom EHR Software for Dental Clinics
Digitizing patient intake and treatment reporting with a custom dental EHR software for school-based dental clinics in Australia.

Client
A private healthcare company operating mobile dental clinics that provide treatments and checkups to school children across New South Wales and Victoria, Australia. With over 10 years in the market, the client approached us to digitize their paper-based workflows, automate key processes like patient intake and insurance verification, and build a secure, centralized EHR medical system aligned with healthcare data protection standards.
- Full transition from paper-based workflows to a digital system
- Automated patient intake using QR-code based forms
- Instant report generation and delivery to parents via email
- ISO 27001 compliance readiness with AES-256 encryption incorporated
Challenge
The client relied on manual processes for every stage of their operation — from distributing consent forms to collecting insurance information and documenting treatments. Multiple mobile teams served different regions simultaneously, creating complexity and inefficiency.
- Manual data collection and verification processes caused delays.
- Scheduling and treatment tracking were error-prone and inconsistent.
- There was no centralized system to view or manage patient or treatment records.
- Operational staff were overwhelmed by paperwork and manual coordination.
Solution

- 1 UI/UX Designer
- 2 Frontend Engineers
- 1 Backend Engineer
- 1 QA Engineer
- Discovery Phase: Detailed mapping of all existing manual workflows across clinics.
- Planning: Designed modular system architecture with patient intake, insurance verification, and treatment recording modules.
- Agile Development: Feature updates were released biweekly, with continuous feedback from the client.
- Compliance Preparation: Embedded ISO 27001-aligned processes and applied AES-256 encryption to all patient data.
- The system is fully adapted for both desktop and tablet use, enabling autonomy for mobile teams.
- QR-code-based digital patient intake forms, linked to each clinic visit.
- Patient grouping by school and region (for initial rollout in NSW and Victoria).
- Semi-automated insurance data entry and validation.
- Internal scheduling tool for mobile teams with capacity and route management.
- Digital treatment recording tied to patient profiles and appointment logs.
- Branded, auto-generated treatment reports emailed to parents.
