The long thesis
Two billion people live with untreated non-communicable disease.
Not because we don’t know how to treat them. Because their insurance system was never designed to. That’s an engineering problem I’m working to solve.

From chairside dentistry to health system design.
I operate a high-performing clinical business and build the infrastructure layer for AI-driven healthcare.
From a single-chair practice at the Charité in 2021, to one of the largest geriatric dental operations in northern Germany. Now operating across multiple care homes in Berlin.
Fully equipped with the most modern clinical stack: 3Shape TRIOS 5 intraoral scanning, Anthos chairs, exocad CAD, Formlabs and VHF milling, VistaSoft and CareStream imaging — same-day restorations, onsite, in a nursing home.
Modern dental practice building clinical software for the dental operation I run in Berlin. Four clinicians, two thousand residents seen each quarter. Every feature is tested in a nursing-home visit before it ships.
SwissMedAI is building toward a digital health-insurance stack to expand access to dental care globally — for the populations the current system was never designed for. Health Ledger is the first layer — the patient record. Claims, coverage and eligibility infrastructure come next.
Patient-record system that runs in the field, offline. Built for a clinician charting one-handed in a resident’s room.
Live counts across patients, active treatment plans (ZE/PA), expired HKPs and the day’s urgent cases — the first thing the clinician sees on arrival at a home.
FDI odontogram with the full German legend — extractions, crowns, bridges, telescopes — active treatments, and a voice/AI input pair that writes straight into the record.
Full PA-Befund across OK/UK with furcation grading and a large-target numeric keypad — designed for a clinician charting with one hand in a resident’s room, not at a desk.
The economics of dental AI, European oral health financing, and why older Germans get less care than the law says they should.
