​Technology That Works With Your Team
Pediatric dental visits are often shaped by anxiety, hesitation, and unpredictable patient behavior. Staff balance clinical precision with emotional reassurance within tightly scheduled appointments where even small disruptions affect both experience and timing.
​
Howie introduces a consistent way to engage and guide patients, working alongside your team to create a more cooperative and positive experience while handling routine patient-facing interactions.
An Autonomous Pediatric Dental Assistant System
Howie combines interactive robotics with the HelloGard Intelligence Platform to create a patient-facing assistant designed specifically for pediatric care. The system supports patient engagement and guided interaction, helping clinics deliver more predictable experiences and keep appointments moving smoothly. A single deployment supports patients from arrival through treatment preparation, while taking on routine interactions that would otherwise require staff attention.
​Patient Engagement
Friendly, guided interaction that builds familiarity and encourages participation, especially for children.
​Comfort & Cooperation
Helps prepare patients for treatment by creating a more relaxed and engaging environment.
Experience Consistency
Delivers reliable, repeatable interactions across every patient visit.
​Designed For Safe Interaction In Clinical Environments
HelloMultiServe integrates multiple functional layers into a single deployable system, enabling it to operate across roles while remaining visible, adaptable,
and operationally accountable.
​Autonomous navigation optimized for compact clinic layouts and shared spaces
​Integrated interface designed for friendly engagement, communication, and guided patient interaction
Behavior-focused interaction designed to reduce hesitation and improve cooperation during treatment preparation.

​How Patient Interaction And Preparation Happens During Visits
HelloMultiServe combines intelligent robotic hardware with orchestration software to create a multifunction service system that can be deployed across diverse environments. The system is designed to transition between operational roles as demand changes, supporting multiple functions within a single deployment. This allows a single robot to support multiple operational needs without requiring separate automation deployments.
