A dental software provider serving over 1,000 clinics faced a challenge with their existing desktop-only application, which restricted users to on-site workstations for medical image processing. To improve accessibility and remain competitive, they sought to develop a web-based version of the software that would allow dental professionals to access the platform remotely. The solution was designed to accommodate both cloud-hosted and on-premise deployments. The new platform retained essential functionalities while offering a modern, user-friendly interface.
About the client
A company developing software for digital imagery in the dental practice.
The challenge
The client's previous desktop software enabled advanced medical image processing but limited access to on-site workstations, restricting the operational flexibility for dental professionals who require remote access. Technical constraints emerged during the transition to a web-based platform, particularly in integrating LeadTools, as some key functionalities were not supported in the web environment. Challenges included:
-
Ensuring seamless integration of LeadTools for web usage
-
Adapting workflows to maintain consistency with the desktop version
-
Supporting both cloud-hosted and on-premise deployments to meet the needs of different clinic sizes
-
Offering the flexibility and usability expected in a modern web-based platform while maintaining the robustness and scalability of the existing solution
The solution
Mono successfully developed a comprehensive web-based version of the client’s desktop software using .NET and React/TypeScript. This approach ensured robustness, scalability, and multi-tenancy support, allowing multiple clinics to operate within a shared environment.
Key features
- Remote access
- Clinics can access the software from any location, enabling dental professionals to work from anywhere.
- Image processing tools
- The application includes essential features like patient and series lists, image cards, templates for medical image processing, as well as tools for panning, zooming, brightness/contrast adjustment, and 3D rendering.
- LeadTools integration
- Despite some API limitations in the web environment, Mono adapted workflows to ensure that core capabilities from the desktop version remain intact.
- Cloud and on-premise deployments
- The platform is designed for flexibility, accommodating both cloud-hosted solutions and on-premise deployments for larger clinics with specific infrastructure needs.
