Challenge

SmartMirror is a startup that strives to change the face of modern dental care with its innovative product. Smart Mirror is a smart and LED-equipped dental mirror that significantly facilitates the dentists’ job and transforms customer experience due to the video streaming option.

A client requested SoftTeco to develop a mobile application that would connect with the smart dental mirror. The challenge was that the device was still under development so SoftTeco’s team had to work with a simulator instead of a real device and there was no guarantee that the real device would work the same as the simulator.

Solution

SmartMirror mobile application connects to the smart mirror dental device through Wi-Fi, receives the transmitted data, and displays it in video format. With the help of the application, a dentist can manage the intensity and kind of lighting of the mirror, adjusting the tool as needed.

Since the mirror has a built-in HD intraoral camera, the application transmits real-time videos and allows taking photos and recording videos to later be sent to patients or kept in the database. As well, the application allows sharing the data and connecting via the QR code.

How It Works

Since the smart mirror device is equipped with LEDs, the mobile application provides multiple options to manage them. We implemented such features as the adjustable intensity of lightning and dimming management. As well, the application allows checking the battery life of the mirror and installing updates for its firmware.

In order for the mirror to seamlessly communicate with the application, our team implemented an option of connecting the mirror to the app via the QR code. The mirror has an integrated Wi-Fi module and the application’s interface has a “connect to the mirror” feature and it is also possible to connect to another mirror if needed.

Results

A well-coordinated team of 18 people has met all client's requirements for the backend and frontend areas of the application. SoftTeco delivered the expected results on time and the product is now actively used by dental establishments.
