Theramon® is an electronic system consisting of three components. It enables an objective evaluation and complete documentation of the real wearing time of an orthodontic appliance. Since 2010, 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 of needed proves of compliance is continuously growing. Theramon system evaluation works on Theramy sensors. There are two types of sensors:
Sensor-S
They are very compact-sized high-tech micro sensors containing an application-specific integrated circuit
(ASIC), which measures and stores the sensor data in adjustable intervals. The sensor is powered by a
small rechargeable Li-Ion dry cell battery. Stored data is transmitted wirelessly via an onboard antenna
(RFID) to a dedicated reader device.
Sensor-C
The theramon® Sensor C is an even more compact sensor than the theramon® S and has a reduced life
due to the smaller battery.
In combination with the theramon® Remote Patient Box (RPB) theramon® C sensors' lifetime can be
charged to an almost indefinite lifetime.
Other Parts of the System:
Theramon Pen-Reader
The theramon® pen reader is the device of choice for dental offices to patients' compliance data during
doctors' consultancy. Data can be transferred either via USB cable or Bluetooth, enabling excellent mobility
during patient support.
The theramon® cloud application can be accessed 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 requires MS Windows® is needed. Theramon® RPB does not require any additional software.
