Colgate

The Dental care giant, Colgate, started a novel initiative called “Pocket Dentist” to address oral health issues of rural audience. The system addresses 30 common oral health concerns in real-time, providing solution to 91% of common oral problems, while the individuals with less common problems get connected to a trained dentist via phone. Our telephony and NLP based IVR reduced the need to physically deploy Dentists in rural regions while still providing professional dental care to all in rural India. This initiative served as s basis to roll out Colgate’s smallest SKU into the rural market and get data on oral health issues in the rural community.
