ConvergePartners Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce that it has entered into a business alliance with NNG Co., Ltd. to jointly develop the “Synapse” series of clinical AI platforms for dental care .
This partnership will promote the integration of ConvergePartners’ “Synapse” series of clinical AI platforms for dental care, which is currently under development, with “PLUM CONNECT,” a dental-specific management system developed and operated by NNG.
PLUM CONNECT, provided by NNG, is an operational support system for dental clinics designed by dentists. Equipped with an appointment schedule, automated reception and payment machines, and a management system, it supports comprehensive management of the clinic, from patient-related operations such as appointments, reception, and payment, to route management for home visits and staff management.
ConvergePartners is developing the “Synapse” series, which combines the clinical knowledge of active dentists with AI and cloud technology to provide comprehensive support for diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment in dental care. ConvergePartners aims not merely to provide dental applications, but to build a clinical AI platform for dental care that spans multiple treatment areas and enables comprehensive diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment support on a patient-by-patient basis.
This business partnership aims to build a new dental healthcare DX platform that connects both clinic management and treatment support by linking PLUM CONNECT, which provides operational support for dental clinics, with the Synapse series, which provides cross-functional support in the clinical field.
背景：
Digital transformation in dental clinics is shifting from operational support to connecting with the clinical field.
In recent years, dental clinics have also been increasingly digitizing operations related to clinic management, such as appointment scheduling, reception, accounting, payment processing, and patient management. This digital transformation of front-office operations is significantly contributing to reducing the workload on staff and improving convenience for patients.
PLUM CONNECT, developed by NNG, is an automated payment and reception system for dental clinics, “created by dentists for dentists.” It supports the streamlining of reception and accounting operations, visualization of clinic conditions, information sharing, and the creation of a patient-first treatment environment.

On the other hand, in actual clinical practice, patients don’t always have just one disease or just one treatment. There are cases where multiple diagnoses and treatments are involved simultaneously, such as periodontal disease, impaired oral function, implant treatment, orthodontics, and sleep apnea syndrome.
In order to capture this diverse range of medical information on a patient-by-patient basis and connect it to diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment support, and ongoing management, it is crucial that the foundation of hospital operations and clinical support systems work together.
ConvergePartners believes that integration with existing clinic management infrastructure is essential for promoting digital transformation in the clinical field of dental care. This business partnership with NNG represents an important step in advancing the social implementation of the Synapse series.
