Singapore – September 18, 2026 -- KELLS' AI Dental Scan has become the first AI-powered dental screening tool registered as a Class B medical device by Singapore's Health Sciences Authority (HSA) for direct consumer use, the company announced.
HSA registration validates KELLS' proprietary AI for at-home dental screening
The clearance allows users to capture smartphone images of their teeth, which KELLS' AI then analyzes to flag potential oral health concerns and indicate when professional dental care may be warranted. The registration marks a regulatory first for consumer-facing dental AI tools in Singapore and supports the company's expansion in the market.
KELLS targets underserved populations through community and workplace deployments
KELLS has already deployed the technology through community and corporate oral health initiatives in Singapore, using smartphone-based screening to reach large groups efficiently and route individuals toward in-person dental care when needed. The company says the tool is designed to extend oral health assessment into homes, workplaces, and community settings for populations including young children and older adults who face access barriers to regular dental evaluation.
CEO Jie Feng frames registration as validation ahead of international expansion
"This registration is an important validation of the technology we have spent years developing and moves us closer to a future where people can understand and manage their dental health continuously,
