Scientific projects of assoc.prof. Andrej Thurzo since 2006 led to routine implementation of digital cephalometric analyses, routine digital intraoral scanning and invisible orthodontic therapies as common modus operandi in Slovakia. Later under his leadership, the clinic introduced other major digital innovations to Slovak dentistry, including telemedicine, 3D printing with smart materials, Digital Smile Design, and artificial intelligence.
The scientific research and developement on this clinic has brought a number of innovations to Slovak clinical practice, which we now take for granted.
Currenly the main focus stays on training AI agents in dental environment. Part of it is project "ScaniFy". This project focuses on streamlining the functioning of healthcare practice in Slovakia, which is facing a rapidly worsening shortage of personnel in both inpatient and
outpatient care. We will achieve this goal by implementing an innovative AI system that shortens
administrative tasks, reduces error rates, and relieves staff from routine activities.
Project PK 1/2025 – "ScaniFy" is implemented with the financial support of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic for the Recovery Plan and Knowledge Economy.
Our expert MUDr. Martin Pekarčík drives the commercial strategy and clinical implementation for the ScaniFy project, leveraging over eight years of experience as a physician and successful health-tech entrepreneur. By applying his deep expertise in healthcare digitalization, he ensures the project's AI solutions are effectively commercialized and seamlessly integrated into real-world medical practice.
