Manima

Mission & Goals
Mission:
To systematize trust and understanding in healthcare communication.
Strategic Goals:
-
Reduce friction, misunderstandings, and emotional escalation in dentistry
-
Improve treatment acceptance through ethical, psychologically aligned communication
-
Lower burnout among dentists by removing constant interpersonal guesswork
-
Establish a new standard where communication quality is measured, trained, and optimized, not improvised
Long-term, Manima is designed as a horizontal communication intelligence platform adaptable to other healthcare fields with similar dynamics.
The Product & Core technology
Core Concept
Manima is a decision-support system (not a diagnostic tool).
It does not judge patients or doctors; it models interaction dynamics.
Input Layer
-
Short, non-invasive patient questionnaires (language, structure, pace, emotional framing)
-
Dentist profile (communication tendencies, cognitive style, stress responses)
-
Optional contextual data from clinic workflows (appointment type, treatment complexity)
Behavioral Engine
-
Patients and dentists are mapped into action-oriented psychotypes (not abstract traits)
-
The system evaluates:
-
Anxiety and stress regulation patterns: how the patient experiences anxiety, responds under pressure, and what conditions increase their sense of safety and trust.
-
Sensory and physical sensitivity profile: the patient’s sensitivity to pain, touch, sounds, posture, and other physical stimuli relevant to dental procedures.
-
Control and decision-making needs: the level of information, predictability, and autonomy the patient requires in order to feel secure and make treatment decisions.
-
Adherence dynamics: factors that support or hinder compliance with medical recommendations, enabling the construction of a realistic treatment plan aligned with the patient’s lifestyle, limitations, and challenges.
-
Information processing preferences: how the patient best understands medical information (detail level, structure, emotional framing), to optimize explanation and consent.
-
Service and interaction preferences: expectations regarding clinic conduct, service style, and administrative interaction.
-
Core treatment values: what truly matters to the patient in the dental treatment experience beyond clinical outcomes.
-
Crucially, Manima focuses on interaction mismatch, not “good” or “bad” personalities.
Output to the Dentist
Delivered as immediately usable insights, for example:
-
Key behavior metrics: anxiety, trust, emotional regulation, cooperation, assertiveness.
-
Triggers and phobias: factors best avoided during communication or treatment.
-
Recommended accommodations: environmental, procedural, or communication adjustments.
-
Decision-making guidance: how to present information and choices for optimal consent.
-
Scheduling recommendations: ideal timing, length, and sequencing of appointments.
-
Post-treatment monitoring: what to watch for and how to follow up effectively.
The product is designed to integrate with existing clinic systems, acting as an augmentation layer, not a replacement for staff or clinical judgment.
Team & Expertise
Manima is driven by a rare overlap of competencies:
-
Clinical Dentistry (Advanced Level):
Deep firsthand understanding of patient behavior under stress, real clinic economics, and doctor burnout. -
Behavioral & Psycholinguistic Analysis:
Focus on practical, observable communication patterns, academic typologies. -
Product & Systems Thinking:
Emphasis on actionable outputs that fit into real workflows, not theoretical dashboards.
