The "After-Hours Void" Problem
Patients calling after 5 PM encounter voicemail delays for urgent issues like sudden vision loss or retinal detachment symptoms, potentially risking irreversible damage
Staff overwhelmed by routine inquiries on intraocular pressure checks or frame selections during peak hours, diverting focus from detailed slit-lamp examinations
HIPAA compliance risks from unsecured call handling, exposing sensitive patient data during off-hours
Lost revenue from unbooked comprehensive eye exams when patients hang up after 10-15 minute wait times during flu season surges
Inconsistent follow-up on prescription refill requests, leading to patient dissatisfaction and churn
Inconsistent follow-up on prescription refill requests for glaucoma medications, resulting in patient non-adherence and increased churn rates

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's voice agent, we'd lose half our evening calls to voicemail, especially for toric contact lens refills. Now, it's booking 15 extra appointments weekly for keratoconus consultations, and our patients love the instant access—it's like having a night-shift receptionist who never tires."
Dr. Emily Chen
Lead Optometrist, VisionCare Family Eye Clinic
"Integrating this with our EHR was seamless, and the HIPAA safeguards gave us peace of mind during a recent state audit on age-related macular degeneration protocols. We've cut missed follow-ups by 40% in just three months—game-changer for our small rural practice."
Mark Rivera
Practice Manager, ClearSight Optometry Group
"The agent's grasp of optometry lingo is spot-on; it even triages presbyopia queries and schedules low-vision assessments effectively. Post-launch, our no-show rate for cataract screenings dropped 18%, and staff time on phones halved. Wish we'd done this years ago."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent ensure HIPAA compliance in optometry settings?
We prioritize security by design, implementing end-to-end encryption for all voice data and ensuring no protected health information is stored in unencrypted forms. The agent uses anonymized transcripts for training and logs interactions with role-based access controls, aligning with HIPAA's privacy rule. In optometry, this means handling details like intraocular pressure readings securely. Our systems undergo regular audits, and we've helped practices pass compliance checks without issues—drawing from our RecoverlyAI experience in regulated voice tech. This setup not only meets standards but reduces your administrative burden, letting you focus on vision care.
Can the AI handle specific optometry terminology and patient scenarios?
Absolutely. We train each agent on a dataset rich in optometry-specific language, covering topics from astigmatism corrections to cataract consultations. For instance, it can guide patients through pre-exam instructions or answer questions about multifocal contacts with accurate, reassuring responses. Unlike generic AIs, ours learns from your practice's call history to refine understanding—handling 95% of routine inquiries autonomously. We've seen practices reduce staff interruptions by 60%, as the agent triages effectively, escalating only true complexities like potential diabetic retinopathy symptoms to your team.
What happens if a call requires human intervention, like an urgent eye injury?
The AI is smart about boundaries. It uses natural language processing to detect urgency—keywords like 'pain' or 'sudden loss of vision' trigger immediate escalation. The agent provides a smooth handoff, summarizing the conversation for your on-call optometrist via integrated messaging or EHR notes. In tests, this cuts transfer times to under 30 seconds. For non-urgent cases, it resolves on the spot, booking follow-ups. This hybrid approach ensures patient safety while maintaining 24/7 availability, proven to improve satisfaction scores in our healthcare deployments.
How quickly can we implement this for our optometry practice?
From initial consultation to live deployment, most practices are up and running in 4-6 weeks. We start with a deep dive into your workflows—mapping calls for glasses adjustments or routine screenings—then build and test the custom agent. Integration with tools like your scheduling software happens in parallel. Post-launch, we monitor for the first two weeks, tweaking based on real calls. Smaller practices often go live faster, capturing after-hours bookings within a month, and we've streamlined this process to minimize disruption to your daily patient flow.
Will this AI voice agent integrate with our existing practice management system?
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way API integrations tailored to healthcare software like RevolutionEHR or EyeMaginations. The agent pulls real-time availability for appointments and pushes updates directly—such as confirming a new prescription order—without manual entry. This creates a unified system, eliminating silos that cause errors in patient records. In one deployment, a mid-sized clinic synced 200+ daily interactions seamlessly, reducing data entry time by 70%. We handle the technical heavy lifting, ensuring compatibility and scalability as your practice grows.
What kind of support do you provide after deployment?
Our partnership doesn't end at launch. You get dedicated support with a 99.9% uptime SLA, including monthly performance reviews to optimize for seasonal trends like allergy-related eye complaints. Our team monitors call analytics, refining the agent's responses to boost booking rates. Practices receive quarterly updates with new features, like enhanced voice recognition for elderly patients. If issues arise—say, during a high-volume back-to-school rush—we resolve them in under 4 hours. This ongoing refinement has helped clients maintain 40% efficiency gains year-over-year.
