The dental training platform is the brainchild of TV producer Emmanuel Soler, in association with Jean Christophe Paris, a dental surgeon, trainer and lecturer who founded the Académie du sourire, which has trained over 1,500 dentists in aesthetic dentistry.
The initial challenge? Limited to 30 places, the physical training center is experiencing a decline in registrations. What's more, the dental trainer already has a stock of quality videos from training sessions and conferences, and doesn't know what to do with them.
For Emmanuel Soler, the benefits of creating a video training platform are obvious:
"What I find interesting is that as soon as we produce our own content, which is exclusive, we can use it advitam and everywhere. What changes the game is that my associate goes from an amphitheater of 30 people to a potentially unlimited number. There are 2 million dentists in the world...".
The healthcare streaming platform project also aspires to create a global community and media, where professionals can exchange ideas, take part in live or replay webinars, share their "clinical cases" and keep abreast of the latest innovations in their field.
More editorialized formats focus on the day-to-day lives of practitioners, students and researchers.
From the outset, E-Smile Academy had a clear vision: to change the way dentists access continuing education, get information and interact in a space where they feel represented.
"Healthcare professionals are unique in that they are driven by a passion, the same passion that enables them to face their daily lives in the office, which is, after all, a lonely path".
Before choosing the VOD Factory solution, Emmanuel Soler faced several major challenges:
"For e-Smile Academy, the challenge is to recruit subscribers to monetize a platform with content we own, and with potentially an unlimited audience."
The VOD Factory team provided comprehensive solutions tailored to e-Smile Academy's needs, including :
