(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Botify, a leading performance marketing platform for organic search, announces Botify Assist, a collection of ChatGPT-powered tools for the Botify community. This first-of-its-kind offering combines the vast intelligence of the GPT-4 API with Botify’s proprietary unified data model, building upon existing core AI functionality to provide additional insight and content recommendations for greater organic search impact. By further unlocking the power of the Botify platform, users will be empowered to make strategic decisions even faster and implement more content ideas at scale – further helping brands be found in this new era of search.

Organic search is quickly becoming the preferred channel by savvy digital marketers.

For solution providers such as managed service providers (MSPs), value-added resellers (VARs), systems integrators, and strategic service providers, a critical factor when assessing which IT manufacturers, service providers, and distributors to team with in building world-class technology solutions is the breadth and depth of the partner programs those companies offer. Strong elements such as financial incentives, sales and marketing assistance, training and certification, technical support and more can set a vendor apart and play a key role in boosting partners long-term growth.

In the 2023 Partner Program Guide, vendors were evaluated based on program requirements and offerings such as partner training and education, pre- and post-sales support, marketing programs and resources, technical support, and communication.

• Meeting Maker bonuses for customer prospect meetings
• ExaGrid co-sells with its own sales force including technical field systems engineers

DentalMonitoring Announces Braces Monitoring Innovations

 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- DentalMonitoring continues to set the standard in AI-powered orthodontic solutions, with two innovative features that allow doctors to better visualize progress and obstacles throughout treatment. An update to the platform including the new patient timeline and progress bar is now available in the dashboard for doctors worldwide.

With the new patient timeline and progress bar, doctors can now optimize braces patient management with two innovative features that provide instant snapshots of patient progress.

The patient card displays a timeline that automatically tracks treatment, hygiene and scan compliance for patients, aggregated from all DentalMonitoring scans throughout the entire treatment. Orthodontists can now easily identify trends and track recurring issues without additional clinical chair time or desk time. Using doctor-customized automation and the power of AI, this provides an increased level of clinical visibility and control when treating braces patients, ultimately improving treatment progress and outcomes.

“DentalMonitoring is designed to bring visibility and clinical efficiency to all patients being treated with braces or aligners throughout their treatment,” says DentalMonitoring CEO Philippe Salah. “The new timeline and progress bar help doctors quickly and remotely see how treatment is progressing and what course of action is needed to optimize the outcome for each case.”

DentalMonitoring’s AI-powered solutions leverage automation to create more connected care for all patients in all phases, minimizing clinical surprises between in-person visits while optimizing chair time. The company pioneered AI in orthodontic care with a mission to increase the quality of care and positively impact the bottom line by increasing doctors’ value-per-visit with more proactive treatment decisions based on clinical observations analyzed remotely. Using the most advanced AI on the market, the software enables doctors to monitor their patients more than ever before with less time, and provides a competitive advantage in their patient experience.

Practices interested in learning more should visit www.dental-monitoring.com or stop by the DentalMonitoring booth at the upcoming AAO in Chicago, April 21-24.

About DentalMonitoring - www.dental-monitoring.com

DentalMonitoring exists to make orthodontics smarter. Powered by the most advanced AI in the industry, DentalMonitoring has developed comprehensive doctor-driven solutions to help orthodontists grow and optimize their practice, provide superior clinical care, and deliver a better patient experience.
