Why Choose Us
At AIQ Labs, we don't just integrate tools—we engineer a unified Business Operating System tailored for optometry. Imagine your practice as a well-oiled clinic: every workflow from patient scheduling to vision exam analysis flows seamlessly. Our approach starts with a deep audit of your current setup, identifying bottlenecks like disjointed EHR entries or manual refraction logging. We then build custom AI workflows that scale effortlessly, handling everything from predictive appointment forecasting to automated frame inventory reordering. This isn't off-the-shelf software; it's a production-ready platform that grows with your patient base, ensuring HIPAA compliance at every layer while slashing administrative overhead by up to 50%. Short on time? We deploy in phases, minimizing disruption to your daily vision screenings and fittings.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Enterprise Scalability Without the Headaches
Handle Unlimited Patient Growth Effortlessly
Handle Unlimited Patient Growth Effortlessly: As your optometry practice expands—say, adding a second location or ramping up tele-optometry—our system scales linearly, processing 10,000+ patient records monthly without slowdowns, including seamless integration of OCT imaging data. No more crashing servers during peak flu season vision checks; instead, enjoy 99.9% uptime and real-time insights that keep your ODs focused on care, not tech woes, with sub-2-second query responses even at 5x volume spikes.
Ironclad HIPAA Compliance for Peace of Mind
Ironclad HIPAA Compliance for Peace of Mind: Regulatory hurdles shouldn't stifle your growth. Our enterprise-grade encryption and audit trails ensure every patient interaction—from initial eye exam bookings to contact lens prescriptions and protected health information transfers—meets HIPAA standards, with automated PHI access logging. We've reduced compliance violation risks by 60% for clients within the first year, freeing your team to prioritize patient-centric care over paperwork nightmares and avoiding fines up to $50,000 per violation.
Eliminate Operational Bottlenecks with AI Precision
Eliminate Operational Bottlenecks with AI Precision: Picture your inventory like a perfectly calibrated phoropter: always in focus. Our AI forecasts lens and frame demands based on seasonal trends, patient demographics, and historical prescription data from EHRs, cutting stockouts by 40% and overstock waste by 25% within 6 months. This translates to smoother operations, faster turnarounds on fittings—reducing wait times from days to hours—and more time for what matters—delivering exceptional vision care like timely cataract referrals.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our two-location practice was drowning in manual scheduling and EHR glitches every time we added patients, especially during allergy season surges. Now, the custom system handles our 500 monthly comprehensive eye exams without a hitch, integrates retinal imaging seamlessly, and we've cut admin time by 15 hours a week. It's like having an extra staff member who never sleeps."

"We were losing frames to stock issues during back-to-school rushes and diabetic eye exam peaks. Their AI inventory tool predicts needs spot-on, based on our local patient data and prescription trends. Last quarter, we saved $8,000 in excess stock, maintained 100% on-time delivery for multifocal lenses, and kept patients happy with zero delays on orders. Feels tailor-made for optometry."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your system ensure HIPAA compliance for optometry practices?
HIPAA is non-negotiable in optometry, where patient data like vision prescriptions demands ironclad protection. Our Business Operating System embeds compliance from the start: end-to-end encryption for all data flows, automated audit logs tracking every access to records, and role-based permissions ensuring only authorized staff view sensitive info. We've designed it with input from compliance experts, aligning with OCR guidelines. For instance, during patient intake automations, consent forms are digitally captured and stored immutably. In our deployments, we've helped practices pass audits with zero findings, even under high-volume growth. This isn't bolted-on security; it's core architecture, reducing your risk exposure while scaling operations. If you're concerned about specific workflows like tele-optometry data sharing, we customize safeguards accordingly.
Can this operating system scale as my optometry practice adds locations?
Absolutely—scalability is our cornerstone for growing optometry practices. Unlike rigid EHRs that buckle under multi-site demands, our system uses modular, cloud-native architecture to handle expansion seamlessly. Start with one clinic managing 300 exams monthly? We build to support 10 locations and 5,000+ without reconfiguration. Key features include centralized patient databases with location-specific views, synchronized inventory across sites to prevent frame shortages, and load-balanced AI processing for peak times like allergy season rushes. Clients scaling from solo to chain practices report zero downtime during growth phases. We benchmark against industry standards, ensuring 99.9% uptime even at 200% volume increases. Our approach: anticipate your trajectory through initial audits, then engineer elastic resources that grow with you, no bottlenecks.
What kind of AI automations are included for daily optometry tasks?
We tailor AI automations to optometry's unique rhythms, from front desk to exam lane. Core ones include intelligent scheduling that predicts no-shows using historical data, optimizing slots for 20% more daily appointments. AI-assisted refraction tools analyze preliminary patient inputs to prep ODs, cutting exam times by 10 minutes per patient. Inventory forecasting uses sales trends and seasonal factors—like back-to-school spikes—to auto-reorder lenses, minimizing stockouts. Billing AI scans claims for errors pre-submission, slashing denials by 35%. All run on a unified platform, HIPAA-secure, with custom UIs for your team. For example, our voice agents handle refill requests 24/7, freeing staff for in-person care. These aren't generic bots; they're built on your practice data for precision, delivering measurable wins like 40% admin time savings.
How long does it take to implement this for an established practice?
Implementation is phased to fit your optometry schedule, typically 8-12 weeks for full rollout without disrupting patient care. Week 1-2: Deep-dive audit of your workflows, like EHR integrations and billing cycles. Weeks 3-6: We build and test core modules in a sandbox, mirroring your setup for vision exams and inventory. Weeks 7-8: Phased deployment—start with scheduling and dashboards, then layer in AI automations. Training sessions, customized for ODs and admins, ensure quick adoption. Post-launch, we optimize for two weeks based on real usage. Practices with 10-50 staff see minimal downtime; one client went live during a slow season and was at 100% efficiency by month two. Factors like existing data volume influence timelines, but our agile method keeps things moving fast while prioritizing accuracy.
Will I own the system, or is it subscription-based?
Full ownership is our promise—no more subscription chaos locking you into vendor dependencies. We hand over the complete, source-code system upon completion, including all custom AI models and integrations tailored to your optometry needs. This means you control updates, expansions, and data without ongoing fees beyond optional maintenance. Unlike assemblers relying on rented APIs that cap scalability, our owned architecture lets you scale indefinitely—add features like advanced glaucoma screening AI without permission. We've liberated 200+ SMBs from $10K+ annual tool sprawl, turning fragmented setups into valuable digital assets. Maintenance? Flexible plans start at $500/month for tweaks, but the core is yours, ensuring long-term ROI as your practice grows.
How do you handle integration with existing optometry software like my EHR?
Seamless integration is what sets us apart, especially for entrenched systems like NextGen or EyeMD. We start by mapping your data flows—patient demographics, exam results, billing codes—then build two-way APIs for real-time sync. No more manual exports that error out during high-volume days. For optometry specifics, we connect vision test outputs directly to inventory for instant frame recommendations. Our track record: 95% integration success on first pass, with fallbacks for legacy systems. HIPAA compliance is woven in, using secure tokens to protect PHI during transfers. A recent project linked a practice's EHR to our AI for automated recall reminders, boosting compliance rates from 60% to 92%. If custom needs arise, like linking to optical lab feeds, we engineer bespoke connectors, ensuring your growth isn't hampered by silos.
