HIGH-TECH PATIENT COMPLIANCE MONITORING TECHNOLOGY
…..
In September 2010, after a 5-years-lasting challenging development of the final ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), theramon® microsensor technology was introduced to the worldwide dental markets. Since then, theramon® created the Golden Standard on high-tech patient compliance monitoring. More than 150.000 sensors have been embedded in dental devices and other medical aids since. Many success stories have been written over the years, as awareness on needed prove of compliance ist continuously growing.
The system
…..
Theramon® is an electronic system consisting of three components. It enables an objective evaluation and full documentation of real wearing time.

Software
theramon® Remote Patient Box (RPB)
The theramon® RPB is a multifunctional device to be placest at patients’ home and connected to their WiFi. Almos in realtime the data is made available to the physician. Without connection to WiFi, the RPB can store immense amounts of data to be retrieved at the physicians office, prolonging the time in-between visits.
Unlimited Lifetime
With the theramon Remote Patient Box’s charging feature a sensors lifetime can be prolonged unlimitedly.
Direct Upload
The RPB® can be connected with WiFi to directly upload the wear-time data into the theramon® cloud.
Onboard Memory
The theramon® RPB can store great amounts of data, even from multiple devices.
Innovative Design
theramon® RPB offers button-free setup via smartphone and motion commands.
UV light inside
A UV LED inside the theramon® RPB switches on when it’s closed and helps fightig germs.
Save Data Transmission
Secure and encrypted data transmission and over-the-air updates ensure longterm reliability and up-to-date technology.
theramon® Sensor S
These are very compact-sized (9x13x4mm) high-tech sensors containing an apllication specific integrated ciruit (ASIC), which measure and store the sensor temperatur in adjustable measuring intervals. Power is supplied by a small rechargeable Li-Ion dry cellbattery and data is transmitted wirelessly via the integratedRFID antenna as soon as the reader approaches the sensor to a dedicated reading device.

is the guaranteed lifetime starting from the date of activation of a theramon® sensor
Tiny
with a size of 9x13x4mm (0,35×0,51×0,16 in) theramon® sensors are simply tiny.
Interval

Storage
With a measurement interval of 15 minutes sensors can carry the data of ~100 days
Sleep Mode
theramon® sensors always remain in sleep mode and only wake up to take measurements.
Chargeable
theramon® sensors can be charged in the RFID field of the Remote Patient Box – coming soon
theramon® Sensor C
The pen reader serves as a reader for physicians with patients coming in regularly for treatment or ongoing monitoring. The data is transferred via USB cable or bluetooth to an internet connected device. (i.e. PC, tablet, smartphone) and from there further to the cloud based database

The soft rubber reading nose enables good access to seencos even in complex appliances.
theramon® Cloud Application
The theramon® cloud application can be accesed with any operating system (MacOS®, Android®, MS Windows®,…). To retrieve data from sensors and transmit it to the cloud with the pen reader, the reader client requiring MS Windows® is needed. Theramon® RPB does not require any additional software.
Intuitive Design
The graphic user interface is self-explaining and easy to use.
Read locally – evaluate globally
Reading and evaluating stored data are independent from each other.
Data protection & security
theramon® fully complies to current GDPR regulations (German server) & has highest level data security.
2-Factor Authentication
Latest technology to protect from unauthorized cloud access.
One-time-fee
A one-time licence fee covers future updates with no further costs.
Continuous Improvement
New features are added regurlarly keeping theramon® always up-to-date.
major applications
…..
Originally invented to monitor children’s adherence to orthodontic treatment, Theramon today covers a much geater range of applications. Knowing the the patients’ wearing behaviour of medical remedies in the different medical fields is of enormous importance for today’s modern medicine. The reasons for objective wearing time documentation may be medically justified for efficient patient treatment. In other cases the knowledge about a good patient compliance may be required to protect against legal consequences or restrictions for various professionals (e.g. withdrawal of truckers’ drivers licence).
orthodontics
Recommended Equipment
Doctor:
Software license and theramon® USB-BT-PEN reader
Patient:
Brace/splint/aligner with theramon® microsensor
In orthodontics, microsensors are mainly used in removable braces for children and teenagers and additionally in special splints or so-called aligners mostly for adults. The sensors are read at regular check-ups. The knowledge of the actual use enables on the one hand an optimal orthodontic treatment and on the other hand a very early recognition of possibly necessary treatment corrections.
dental sleep medicine
Recommended Equipment
Doctor:
Software license, theramon® USB-BT-PEN reader Ι optional: theramon® RPB
Patient:
Sleeping splint with theramon® microsensor Ι optional: theramon® RPB
In dental sleep medicine, the microsensors are mainly used in special dental sleep appliances to treat patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. While a proper dental sleep appliance can significantly reduce the apnea index, the proven use of a – possibly even legally – prescribed minimum can prevent impending restrictions in everyday professional life (e.g. withdraval of truckers’ drivers licences).
ophtalmology
Recommended Equipment
Doctor:
Software license and theramon® USB-BT-PEN reader
Patient:
Eye patches or shutter glasses with theramon® microsensor
In ophthalmology sometimes it is necessary to cover one eye with an eye patch or use electronic shutter glasses. For an efficient healing process it is essential to follow medically prescribed minimum wearing times. For this purpose, the microsensors are integrated directly into the eye patches or, in case of shutter glasses, attached to the temple of the glasses. This enables the sensor to record temperature values with sufficient precision ensuring reliable wear time recording.
orthopaedics
