An oral function visualization system includes: an outputter that outputs information for prompting a user to utter a predetermined voice; an obtainer that obtains an uttered voice of the user uttered in accordance with the output; an analyzer that analyzes the uttered voice obtained by the obtainer; and an estimator that estimates a state of oral organs of the user from a result of analysis of the uttered voice by the analyzer. The outputter outputs, based on the state of the oral organs of the user estimated by the estimator, information for the user to achieve a state of the oral organs suitable for utterance of the predetermined voice.

An intra-oral scanning device includes a light source and an optical system, and communicates with a display system. The device has a reduced form factor as compared to prior devices, and it provides for more efficient transmission and capture of images.

A state assessment system, a diagnosis and treatment system and a method for operating the diagnosis and treatment system are disclosed. An oscillator model converts a physiological signal of a subject into a defined feature image. A classification model analyzes state information of the subject based on the feature image. An analysis model outputs a treatment suggestion for the subject based on the state information of the subject. An AR projection device projects acupoint positions of a human body onto the subject, for the subject to be treated based on the treatment suggestion.

A computer program and computer-based system for remotely determining a dental treatment plan (10) of a user (30) of a personal computing device (20) by obtaining, using the personal computing device (20), at least one digital image (1) of the person’s oral cavity (31) and additional non-image data (2) comprising a choice (7) of a predefined topic (5) by said user (30). The digital images (1) and non-image data (2) are processed to extract dental health indicators (8) that are used to evaluate any dental condition (9) of said user (30). A dental treatment plan (10) is generated based on the dental condition (9) and a database (3) defining logical relationships between predefined topics (5) and actions (6) for said user (30) to take, wherein a selection of said actions (6) arranged in a regimen and displayed on a user interface (25) of said personal computing device (20).

A device for determining the surface topology and associated color of a structure, such as a teeth segment, includes a scanner for providing depth data for points along a two-dimensional array substantially orthogonal to the depth direction, and an image acquisition means for providing color data for each of the points of the array, while the spatial disposition of the device with respect to the structure is maintained substantially unchanged. A processor combines the color data and depth data for each point in the array, thereby providing a three-dimensional color virtual model of the surface of the structure. A corresponding method for determining the surface topology and associate color of a structure is also provided.
