Modern tools and new technologies are changing the way dentists deliver care. New technological advancements and innovation made the dental industry growing rapidly and looking much different than it did in past years. Now this makes trips to the dentist easier and less painful than it was for patients but also have a huge impact on dental professionals treat and manage their patients.
Scratch is a programming language and an online community where people can program and share interactive media and a wide range of projects. Scratch programs are made up of graphical colored blocks that prevent users from using invalid combinations. Scratch ensures that beginners learn how to assemble and formulate programming logic.
Through coding it is important to understand how important digital skills are for success in the dental sector even as a dental assistant in patient management.
Task
In this example we will code a project which replicates a simple Dentistry Booking System, used in dental practices.
This project will help you understand how coding is used in the dentistry. In this activity, participants will design a software in which the dentistry staff can:
- Book Appointments
- Clear Appointments slots
- View Booking lists
- View procedure lists
- Calculate Bill
In the first part of this project, we are going to program a basic appointment check-in and our system for our dental practice.
