Dental Innovation Alliance (DIA) has recently announced its inaugural investments in two early-stage dental technology companies, UptimeHealth and Relu. DIA is a group of dental industry executives that funds and advises early-stage companies building the future of dentistry through technology.
About Uptime Health
UptimeHealth provides software that aims to simplify dental equipment maintenance, repair, and purchase events through automation and predictive analytics. The data gathered within the system sends reports to leadership, including dashboards for compliance adherence and lists identifying problematic equipment that are ripe for replacement.
DIA Managing Partner, Doug Brown, stated, “We see potential for the company to grow beyond dental into other healthcare sectors.”
About Relu
Relu, on the other hand, provides a platform-agnostic approach to automatically segment 3D medical images in the dental and maxillofacial market. Its technology helps address the requirements of technology and medical device companies to provide enhanced surgical navigation and treatment planning solutions.
DIA Managing Partner, Thomas Sharpe, expressed excitement about Relu’s vision and its application of AI to surgery.
