System Requirements Document

1. Introduction

This document outlines the system requirements for the development of an AI-powered Dental Clinic Management System. The system is designed to enhance the operational efficiency of dental clinics through intelligent automation and AI-assisted workflows, supporting various user roles including dentists, orthodontists, clinic staff, and patients.

2. System Overview

The AI-powered Dental Clinic Management System will provide comprehensive support for in-person consultations, AI-assisted workflows, patient management, treatment tracking, and communication systems. The platform will ensure that all AI-generated outputs are under doctor supervision and approval, serving as an assistive tool rather than making autonomous clinical decisions. The system will be accessible via desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
