Overview
Ritual Dental is a next-generation dental practice using AI to form a comprehensive health perspective for prevention and early detection to boost patients quality of life.
Background
Ritual Dental is an early stage startup focused on making dental healthcare more accessible by redefining dental wellness and setting new standards of care in dentistry. I worked collaboratively with the team, taking on a larger degree of ownership to define the early parts of the product while navigating ambiguity.
Process
The process for designing the different building blocks was cyclical and every aspect of building the product went through several rounds of iteration. Early iterations were more about getting ideas out and with feedback and proper analysis we could make adjustments in order to get the product to a concrete place.
Takeaways from the process
Be curious and get comfortable with the unknown. There was a lot ambiguity involved in the process and a lot of times there were feelings of not knowing what I was doing. I learned to embrace that feeling and began to understand that this was a normal emotion.
Be proactive and work collaboratively. This relates to the previous takeaway, but being able to ask clarifying questions early on and to have others involved to get different perspectives on approaching tasks was apparent.
