Sonia is an AI-powered documentation assistant designed for dental and orthodontic practices across German-speaking regions. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Hamburg, the company has raised €12 million from European investors to develop its core offering: a real-time speech recognition system that listens to patient consultations and automatically converts them into structured medical records.
The Sonia AI assistant integrates with established practice management systems including ivoris, teemer, DENTPORT, and Softdent, allowing practitioners to export documentation directly into patient records with a single click. The system handles natural language processing for medical records, real-time audio processing, and medical record structuring - eliminating the manual transcription work that typically follows each patient consultation.
According to the company, its customers have collectively saved over 365,000 minutes of documentation time, with the AI assistant handling more than 27 hours of documentation work per practitioner each week. All data processing occurs on EU-based servers with 100% GDPR compliance, addressing the regulatory requirements that dental practices must meet when handling patient information.
