The story behind knowyn
Our Spark Was to Help Dentists Feel Better at Work.
It’s only gotten worse. More and more dentists are feeling worse and worse mentally. The problem is not with the treatments themselves, but with the administration.
We who are behind Knowyn are active dentists ourselves. We know what it’s like. The administration is a big burden and we have seen colleagues, friends and close friends, who couldn’t cope, eventually give up and simply leave the job.
You want to solve healthcare problems. That’s what makes the job interesting and fun. But from the customers’ perspective, accessibility, commitment and responsiveness are crucial. Getting in touch. Remembering what you said you would get back to them with. And that’s usually what creates the stress.
Is it possible to solve? Is it possible to reduce the stress?
“This can’t go on,” we said, and started looking into how change could be created. Is it possible to eliminate administrative stress factors? Are there digital solutions to the problem?
That’s why we turned to some acquaintances — engineers specialized in production flows within the manufacturing industry. We started talking about what it’s like to be a dentist, and how much tends to fall through the cracks because the record systems are extremely difficult to navigate.
“No problem,” said the engineers. So we sat down and developed a simple software that integrates with the record system, extracts healthcare-related data, and finds all those things a dentist might otherwise forget.
Patients waiting for cost estimates, patients who haven’t been recalled even though they should have, referral responses still pending, patients whose high-cost protection is about to expire, patients who could be called in earlier when cancellations occur. We had a solution.
A reminder list for everyone at the clinic.
Every morning, Knowyn will provide you with a tailored to-do list that shows exactly what needs to be done to keep the chairs filled for the next two weeks. Some tasks require the dentist’s attention, while others can be handled by the nurse or the receptionist. But the important thing is that nothing gets forgotten. No patient cases slip through the cracks.
And does it work?
The key word is simplicity. Clinics using Knowyn report performing up to 25% more treatments — and increasing their revenue by as much as 20%. All thanks to a simple yet constantly updated list that is clear and easy to use. You don’t need to be an IT expert to work with Knowyn. The software is extremely user-friendly, and most tasks can be handled by nurses and receptionists.
The only thing you, as a dentist, need to do is be ready for more satisfied patients. More fun and less stress at work. That’s what you can expect from the future — if you work with Knowyn.
Will it change the world of dentistry?
Maybe. At least a little, we hope. Because nothing would make us happier than seeing more colleagues with relaxed shoulders and smiles on their faces. All the stress and pressure — that’s something we’d gladly do without. For good.
Your Journal System is a Goldmine that is Impossible to Navigate.
Journal systems are a must. But it is very time-consuming to navigate in and out through all the submenus. Knowyn is the opposite. It takes minutes to vacuum the journal system and find out how you fill the chair with 25% more patients. And you can spend more time on what is most fun and profitable – treating patients.
Don’t Let the 2026 Dental Care Reform Mess Things Up
Many dentists are currently very worried about the effects of the new dental care reform that will take effect in 2026. The entire Swedish dental care system fears that they will be affected by patients who wait to visit their dentist.
With Knowyn, you will be able to maximize the number of treatments. There are several functions here that are based on the reform problem and help you fill the chair with more patients. Like a kind of virtual care optimizer, quite simply.
The biggest change is the introduction of “’ten-dentistry’” for people over 67, which aims to strengthen the high-cost protection for the elderly.
The Dental Care Reform’s Biggest Challenges
Price regulation:
The reform proposes to abolish free pricing within “’ten-dentistry’” and introduce price regulation. This may mean that the compensation for certain treatments does not cover the costs, which negatively affects the profitability of the clinics.
Increased workload and higher patient pressure:
With lower costs for patients over 67, the demand for dental care may increase, which leads to a higher workload for the dental staff.
More stressful work environment:
If dentists are expected to treat more patients with lower compensation, this may negatively affect the work environment and increase stress levels among the staff.
Deteriorating quality:
With financial constraints, it may be difficult to maintain the same level of quality of care, which may affect patients’ experience and the clinic’s reputation.
Uncertainty about investments:
Some clinics may choose to postpone or refrain from planned investments and expansions due to uncertainty about the reform’s financial consequences.
The 2026 dental care reform will bring both opportunities and challenges for dental clinics. It is important to carefully analyze the details of the reform and prepare for the changes that may affect the clinic’s operations.
