Dent@Prevent – Implementation of claims data & PROMS into (dental) medical care
>Federal Joint Committee | Innovation Fund
Disease incidenceStatistical Analyses
Studies indicate that there are common risk factors for chronic dental diseases and other chronic conditions. This relationship is particularly striking in the case of gingivitis (periodontitis), diabetes and heart disease (coronary heart disease). There is also evidence of insufficient cooperation between human and dental medicine.
The Dent@Prevent-Project aimed to improve cooperation between medical staff within and outside the dental profession. The objective was to ensure that doctors and patients are equally well informed and can thus decide together on how to continue treatment. The first step was to investigate how and why dental and other chronic diseases are related. To this end, scientific articles were systematically evaluated and anonymised claims data from health insurance companies (GKV) were analysed. The PMV research group was responsible for the preparation and analyses of the SHI claims data.
At the same time, a smartphone app was developed that will help to focus treatment decisions more strongly on the individual patient. With the app, patients can, for example, provide individual information on their oral health and general state of health. Together with the results of the literature search and the analysis of health insurance data, this selfinformation flowed into the development of a digital decision support system that supports doctors in planning treatment for individual patients.
The project was funded by the Innovation Fund of the Federal Joint Committee (Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuss G-BA) in Germany.
