This is a draft Articles for creation (AfC) submission. It is not currently pending review. While there are no deadlines, abandoned drafts may be deleted after six months. To edit the draft click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

To be accepted, a draft should:

Be written from a neutral point of view
Respect copyright and do not plagiarize. Do not copy-paste.

It is strongly discouraged to write about yourself, your business or employer. If you do so, you must declare it.

Where to get help

If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.

This is a list of medical software or devices which are designed to be used with orthodontic data and collects or manipulates data that could be of interest to another software. This list focuses on the level of interoperability (the ability for the software to be able to connect with another software) that a specific software or device has.

The intent of this list is to:

help doctors decide which platform would best suite their needs
help software vendors publicize their level or interest in interoperability

Orthodontic Software and their level of Interoperability[edit]

Explanation of Columns[edit]

Developer: the company producing the software product
Product: the name of the software product
v: version
description: Definition of the product as defined by the developer/producer
APIs: if proprietary APIs are available to doctors, and what kind (rw, ro, imaging, appts, ...)
Ingest DICOM: File (from filesystem), PACS (from network), partial (ex: image ingestion using this route will allow some software functionality, not all clinical DICOM tags are recognized or used, bulk ingestion not allowed, only single image/patient, ...), complete (image ingestion using this route will allow full software functionality, all clinical DICOM tags are recognized or used, bulk ingestion (all images with all clinical data in one go).)
Export DICOM: File, PACS, partial, complete (see Ingest DICOM)
Ingest HL7/FHIR
Export HL7/FHIR
standard: medical standards implemented (DICOM, FHIR, HL7, SNOMED, ...)
implementation: level of implementation, amount of data that can be exchanged using public standards (complete: all; advanced: more than 50%, some: <50%, none: 0%, proprietary: a way to connect is available, but it is not based on public standards).
i14y friendly: if company is will to collaborate to move i14y forward (e.g. allow release of bridges on open-ortho)
updated: last time information was updated.
reference: contact person or link to reference which can backup the statements.

Dolphin	Dolphin Imaging Plus	?	Effortlessly manage patient picture and x-ray images. ImagingPlus is the foundation of the Dolphin product suite. Carefully designed for quick learning, ImagingPlus lets you effectively capture, organize and present image records.

Align Technology	iTero		Intraoral surface scanner	DICOM	none		No way to export all images in bulk. Scans need to be exported one at a time. No way to backup the patients data locally. Access to data after one stops paying for subscription limited to 10 or 15 years The Case Manager app can be installed on a workstation and can be used to download STL files with an accompanying XML file for metadata from cloud. These will then have to be converted somehow to DICOM. Align Technology is OK to publish tools specific for Case Manager on Github (to convert STL+XML to DICOM).	2022-12-16 (email from tech support)

Questionnaire[edit]

The answers to the following questions to each vendor are used to populate the table above.
In order to make the information above verifiable, the source of each answer should contain a reference. If no reference is available, the reference column should state "Unverified".
If an interview was conducted to obtain, then ideally the interviewee should be willing to disclose their name or department, if a reference to a publication or website is not available.
