BOCA’s proposed model brings together trustworthy identity, useful dental intelligence, coordinated financial services, and clear authority. Connecting these capabilities could reduce repeated administrative work, help resources reach care, and make the system’s decisions and commitments easier to verify.
Patients and practices should have greater control over their information and decisions, meaningful influence over the rules that affect them, and opportunities to benefit from the value they help create. Cadmus is designing the architecture around those purposes.
BOCA’s architecture is being designed so that useful work in one part of the system can support another. An established identity could keep relevant history connected to the right person. Verified treatment information could support a coverage calculation. That calculation could establish the amount to be paid, with payment systems checking the required authorization before funds move.
Within Prime, its core protocol would apply the defined coverage rules to determine BOCA’s contribution. The surrounding capabilities would help establish the identity, evidence, permissions, and financial connections needed to carry that responsibility through.
Applies defined coverage rules to determine BOCA’s contribution.
Continuing identity, relevant history, and identity behind permissions.
Dental evidence analysis and useful clinical and administrative information.
Payments, financial resources, and programmable controls.
Proposed financing for the patient’s remaining treatment balance.
Useful tasks within verifiable permissions and defined limits.
Authority, participant influence, and accountable rule changes.
A real person. A continuing identity. A foundation for trust.
Rootprint explores how dental evidence and a dentist’s confirmation could connect a person to a lasting digital identity—a verifiable link to the real, distinct human behind the account. That connection could help people retain useful history, demonstrate qualifications, and participate across services while controlling what they disclose.
Explore Rootprint →Better information. Stronger safeguards. More useful dental intelligence.
DentAI would help interpret dental records, verify supporting evidence, and translate descriptions of care into useful clinical and administrative information. By connecting findings across treatment histories, it could help identify patterns that warrant review—including potential fraud, waste, and abuse—and reveal how treatments perform over time, turning experience from care into knowledge that helps practitioners make better-informed decisions.
Explore DentAI →Coverage can reduce the bill. Financing should help make the balance manageable.
Rootline explores financing that balances manageable patient payments with fair payment to practices. Established relationships and appropriately authorized information could reduce repeated application work and provide useful context for lending decisions.
Explore Rootline →Useful help. Clear permission. You stay in control.
An agent could help a patient arrange an appointment or help a practice prepare a supply order. Cadmus is exploring how that assistance could work within permissions people understand and control, with limits enforced by the systems accepting each action.
Explore Authorized Agents →Money has to move. The rules around it have to hold.
Reliable payments are one part of a larger financial architecture. Explore how verifiable records, programmable controls, and connections to capital and liquidity could help BOCA meet its obligations and make its financial activity easier to oversee.
Explore Financial Infrastructure →Accountability that outlasts leadership.
Cadmus believes that patients and practices should have meaningful influence over the system they depend on. BOCA’s proposed governance explores shared value, limits on concentrated power, and accountable ways to improve important rules as evidence and experience develop.
Explore Governance →Some of the capabilities proposed for BOCA could become useful well beyond the purpose they were originally designed to serve. A reliable way to recognize a continuing human identity, interpret dental evidence, or verify permission could support several applications.
Rootprint could help people carry verified credentials and reputation between organizations, or demonstrate eligibility to participate without exposing the private information behind that proof. Underlying those uses is a broader capability: giving participating services a way to verify that a digital identity belongs to a real, distinct human—even when that person uses different accounts or a chosen public name. That could help distinguish people from bots and prevent someone from claiming benefits or influence repeatedly through additional identities. If adopted by other organizations, this could create a market for Rootprint as a human-verification service well beyond dentistry.
DentAI could provide coding assistance, evidence analysis, and other dental intelligence to practices and software providers outside BOCA through subscriptions, integrations, or licensing.
Those capabilities could also work together in new settings. An authorized agent could present a person’s verified qualification to a service and arrange an approved payment, with each service checking the identity, permission, or financial conditions relevant to its role.
Cadmus’s ambition is to build an interconnected ecosystem that gives patients and practices more useful options: membership programs, dental coverage, manageable financing, and tools that make everyday tasks easier. Within that ecosystem, agents could help people arrange appointments or understand a proposed treatment, while dental intelligence could help practitioners learn from care over time.
Cadmus is designing for a future in which people can carry useful information, permissions, and trusted relationships across compatible services. BOCA gives that ambition a practical starting point—a setting in which to develop, test, and refine capabilities that could contribute to a more connected digital world.
The components have different development paths, each shaped by the practical work it needs to perform. BOCA Direct is the first product in development, focused on helping practices operate their membership programs. It can begin with established software and payment infrastructure while more advanced identity, intelligence, financing, and governance capabilities are researched, developed, and tested. Its operation could also provide experience and relationships that inform the larger project.
Blockchain has an explicit role in the proposed architecture. Shared records could make selected approvals and financial activity independently verifiable. Programmable controls could enforce defined conditions before an action takes effect. Important changes could require agreement from more than one authorized group, giving participants a way to check both what changed and whether the required approvals were obtained.
A proposed BOCA token could connect useful contributions with rewards, access to services, and defined forms of economic participation. Its purpose would be to give participants opportunities to share in the value they help create. Governance and Financial Infrastructure explore how those arrangements could work and what would need to support them.
The architecture should remain capable of using better financial systems, stronger identity technology, more capable software agents, and compatible standards as they mature. Each addition should demonstrate how it improves the system and fits the people and services that depend on it.
Cadmus intends to build toward that larger possibility through useful, testable steps—making today’s work easier while establishing the capabilities for what comes next. The ambition is an ecosystem that grows more capable over time while giving the people it serves greater choice, meaningful participation, and commitments they can verify.
