InnerView AI by Perimetrics

AI-powered pen sized dental diagnostics.

Dental health professionals lacked tools to identify early stage structural damage, such as micro cracks, failing fillings, or early implant instability, without invasive procedures. InnerView uses Quantitative Percussion Diagnostics with AI to fill this critical diagnostic gap.

Illuminate hidden dental damage before symptoms surface.

A sleek, white electronic device with a handle stands upright in a square charging base. A soft blue light glows around the handle, and a small circular button is visible on the base. The background is plain white.

RKS studied clinical workflows, observing dentists, hygienists, and patients, to detect emotional stress and inefficiencies in existing diagnostics. Applying Psycho‑Aesthetics®, we positioned InnerView in the enriched/empathy quadrant: accurate, wearable, reassuring diagnostics that build patient confidence.

How We Used Psycho-Aesthetics™ to Identify Unique Opportunities in the Project.

Using our proprietary Psycho-Aesthetics® 2.0 framework, we conducted in-depth interviews and ethnographic observation in diverse lab settings. We identified key emotional and usability pain points — such as intimidation with complex interfaces, workspace clutter, and trust in precision. These insights guided both the form and interface strategy, ensuring approachability and confidence in operation.

We shaped a pen like wireless hand piece optimized for ergonomic grip, balance, and intuitive operation. A discreet base station and serviceable form reinforce its integration into busy operatory setups.
