A Brief History

MEDiVision Systems Ltd is a British company dedicated to the development of first class patient communication software. 

  January 1997    The company was founded and version 1 of Clinical Information Centre (CiC) was released in July of that year. Using ‘flat’ 2D graphics, version 1 broke new ground in the patient communication arena. Subsequent versions added content and functionality, until in January 2000, when version 5 was launched.

  January 2000   An important milestone for MEDiVision as a completely new 3D modelling system was used to create the 3D animation sequences. The Waiting Room marketing tool, Practice Information Centre (PiC), had become established and development of a dental nurses training system had begun.

  May 2001  StuDENT was launched. Backed by the British Dental Association, StuDENT was the first computerised NVQ/SVQ training and assessment tool on the market.

  October 2001  Mouth Modeller II was launched. Using the 3D modelling system, Mouth Modeller was a completely new way of visualising dental charts reading data directly from some of the leading practice management systems.

  October 2002  CiC Explorer v8 was launched, with a completely new interface, which further moved the boundaries of this exciting marketplace.

  November 2003  Version 9 of CiC and PiC and the third version of Mouth Modeller were launched, together with a new product in the MEDiVision family, Envoy. Integrating with PiC, Envoy enables nurses to maximise the time they spend in the surgery by delivering patients without the need to collect them from the waiting room.

 October 2004 was no exception in terms of product development. A new version of CiC was launched at Dental Showcase which had been specifically designed for Orthodontists (CiC Ortho). CiC Explorer 2005 was released with more animations, patient leaflets and still images and was the flagship product for the general dentistry market.  A new tool for the ever-growing number of dentists with websites was also launched in 2004. WebPak was a CDROM containing animations, patient leaflets and still images which were ready formatted for dentists (or their web designers) to load directly onto their website.

  October 2005  MEDiVision continued to lead the field in 2005 with new versions of CiC, Ortho, PiC and WebPak together with a completely new product concept in Patient Communication, The Patient Journey. This product was a specialised flowchart tool that gave the patient a complete and clear picture of their treatment journey through the practice, avoiding misunderstandings, confusion and fear. Pre-release sales showed this product to be a popular addition to the MEDiVision range.

  October 2006  MEDiVision launch CiC in HD the High Definition version of the popular patient communication tool.  The New HD version brings a higher resolution image with vibrant colours and real depth of field.  This new animation quality standard is also  available in the new version of PiC.

  January 2007  MEDiVision signs an historic agreement with Kodak Dental Systems to provide CiC Pro and Patient Journey as an integral part of the R4 practice management system.
