Conference summary
Digital disruption is the change that occurs when new digital technologies and business models affect the value proposition of existing goods and services. It is a wider concept when compared with technological disruption which is the simple change in one technology for another.
In dentistry there has been much debate on technological disruption, namely, the digital workflow in implantology or prosthodontics, and Cone Beam Technology whereas endodontics is concerned. However much less discussion is heard about digital disruption. It is anticipated that in the next years digital medicine will face a dramatic shift in the paradigm of medical research and healthcare in a way that it will impact significantly in the behavior of patients doctors and satkeholders.
The web, big data Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things models are expected to generate novel and revolutionary clinical decision support tools.
