    Dr. Robert B. Kerstein on Smarter Dentistry | Ep 1143

    In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas welcomes Dr. Robert B. Kerstein, a pioneer in digital occlusal analysis and long-time advocate for advancing dental science through technology. A former Tufts University professor and prosthodontic expert, Dr. Kerstein has spent decades perfecting how dentists measure and correct the human bite using T-Scan technology—the world’s first computerized system for analyzing occlusal forces in real time. Dr. Kerstein explains how early tools like articulating paper and ink, still used in many dental offices today, fail to accurately measure bite pressure—often leading to patient discomfort, prosthesis failure, and repeat visits. In contrast, the T-Scan system captures dynamic force and timing data, allowing clinicians to deliver faster, more precise, and minimally invasive bite adjustments. He details how digital occlusal analysis not only improves patient comfort but also reduces remakes, chair time, and long-term complications—transforming both clinical outcomes and dental practice efficiency. Looking ahead, Dr. Kerstein envisions a future where AI-driven occlusal insights and digital workflows become standard, closing the final gap in modern dentistry’s digital transformation. Whether you’re a dental innovator, clinician, or technology enthusiast, this episode reveals how measured digital occlusion is redefining what’s possible in patient care and precision dentistry.

    Building Digital Trust: Kaarel Kotkas on the Future of Identity Verification | Ep 1142

    In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas sits down with Kaarel Kotkas, founder and CEO of Veriff, a global leader in digital identity verification trusted by brands like Uber and Bumble. Kaarel shares how a childhood experience on a small island in Estonia sparked his lifelong mission to make the internet safer. What began as a teenager’s curiosity about online IDs evolved into Veriff, a company now protecting millions of users worldwide through AI-driven, video-based verification and behavioral data analysis. He explains why digital identity verification can be even more secure than face-to-face checks, using thousands of data points for objective, accurate decision-making. Kaarel also discusses how Veriff balances automation and human creativity to outsmart emerging threats like deepfakes and synthetic identities, keeping humans “in the loop” where it matters most. Looking ahead, Kaarel envisions a borderless identity ecosystem—a “pattern of trust” built from our digital interactions rather than government-issued documents. His goal: a world where everyone, everywhere, has equal access to secure online services based on trust, not geography. Whether you’re passionate about AI, cybersecurity, or the digital economy, this episode offers a visionary look at how technology can redefine who we are online—and how we prove it.
