To support doctors during COVID-19, Invisalign Virtual Care launched in March 2020 and is now available in more than 54 countries worldwide.
Align Technology Inc has announced that Invisalign Virtual Care has been selected as the winner of the “Best Virtual Care Platform” award in the fifth annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by MedTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global health and medical technology market.
The Invisalign Virtual Care solution enables remote communication between Invisalign doctors and their patients to track treatment progress. Invisalign Virtual Care launched in March 2020 and is now available in more than 54 countries worldwide.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Align Technology decided to launch a set of digital tools to support doctors. These solutions included the Invisalign Virtual Care and Invisalign Virtual Appointment tools that were built into the My Invisalign App. Invisalign Virtual Care can be used for remote consultations, assessment of treatment progress, and to communicate adjustments or concerns during treatment. Patients use the intuitive My Invisalign App to stay engaged in their treatment and convey progress photos to their doctor, who reviews these photos on their Invisalign Doctor Site and communicates any needed instructions to patients along their Invisalign treatment journey.
The company says the combined features of Invisalign Virtual Care can contribute to benefits such as less time spent in the treatment chair and represents the next level in practice and care transformation, enabling doctors to remotely manage a range of practice services.
The mission of the MedTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize the innovation, hard work and success in a range of health and medical technology categories, including robotics, clinical administration, telehealth, patient engagement, electronic health records, mHealth, medical devices, medical data and many more. This year’s program attracted more than 3,850 nominations from over 17 different countries throughout the world.
