Orasphere offers 3-D patient education animations on iPod Touch

OREM, Utah--Orasphere Limited now offers a series of 3-D dental patient education animations on an Apple iPod Touch, providing a way for dentists to educate patients on the importance and value of good oral health.

Designed by Drs. Stacy Hunt and Tom Gallivan, Jr., Orasphere is a comprehensive collection of 3D, fully narrated animations that carefully presents and explains daily dental procedures, conditions, and anatomy.

As a communication tool, Orasphere is designed to help the doctor and staff educate patients, resulting in increased case acceptance ratios and improved efficiencies.

"An iPod has several advantages over traditional media," said Dr. Gallivan. "An iPod has a definite 'wow' factor that impresses patients, enhancing the practice's professional image. Because it's small, it can be passed from operatory to operatory, can be easily stored and locked in a drawer or cabinet, and is less expensive than other patient education systems."

Installed on a standard personal computer, Orasphere adds advanced interactive education tools that can be used chairside, in the consult room, or in a doctor's private office.

A Web version of Orasphere can be part of the practice's Web site, porting professional patient education to the practice's online visitors. The DVD version lets the practice create looping presentations ideal for the reception area. Narrated animations can be played in English or Spanish.

Customers automatically receive updates as they become available when they are subscribed to an annual customer service plan. The customer service plan includes technical assistance in addition to library enhancements.

Backed by a 60-day money-back guarantee, Orasphere patient education solutions start at $1,295 and can be ordered online at Orasphere or by calling (888) 410-2147.
