About
Dentist, specialist and fellow in prosthodontics (DGPro e.V. and EPA) and entrepreneur. Keynote speaker (national and international). Innovator and visionary in health tech.
There are hundreds of consultants for digitalisation in healthcare, and just as many speakers. Each of the three roles on its own could be filled.
What cannot be copied is the connection: prosthodontics supplies the substance for the stage, the stage opens the door to the industry, and the work on its products flows back into treatment and talks. Anyone who fills only one role talks about the others. Filling all three means bringing from each what the others need.
Three pillars, one profile
- In treatment
Dentist, specialist and fellow in prosthodontics (DGPro e.V. and EPA) and entrepreneur
Dental prosthodontics at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, then his own practice. The cases shown on stage come from his own treatment — not from an image library.
- On stage
Keynote speaker (national and international)
Keynotes and hands-on formats on congress stages in Germany, Europe and Asia, alongside professional articles and peer-reviewed work. What is taught is what treatment and development produce.
- In development
Innovator and visionary in health tech
Product development and market acceptance testing with dental industry manufacturers, AI implementation and his own developments at Mindshape Labs. This is where clinical experience turns into product requirements.
