I am a dentist practicing in Dunedin, NZ and is new to the eHealth forum. I am wondering if there are other oral health practitioners here? I would love to be a part of a discussion on oral health IT in NZ- particularly excited for the TAS Electronic Oral Health Record program discussed here https://ehealthforum.nz/t/hiso-10059-2021-oral-health-data-standard/21308?u=amyc

Iām Director of Allied Health and cover Oral Therapy. I am happy to put you in touch with the Professional Lead, Hannah Clark. She is keen to progress with dental IT.

There are a small number, but as we werenāt specifically looking for them we may have missed some.
So Iāve made a group for you: @dental. You can either reply here in this thread to reach them or send a personal message to the group. Iāve also added dental as an option for Clinical Profession
If you are interested in kicking off some great conversations among IT interested oral professionals and make it really something, weād love to help you. First we really would need to reach them of course!
I am not an oral health practitioner but have been involved with the WHO Be He@lthy Be Mobile initiative, including on the mOralHealth expert group. As part of this I was involved in the development of the āMobile technologies for oral health: an implementation guideā and associated resources https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240035225
