Why Choose Us
Generic tools force optometry practices into rigid molds, ignoring the nuances of vision care workflows—like scheduling dilated exams or sending post-op instructions. We build custom AI-powered communication systems from the ground up. These solutions integrate seamlessly with your existing EHR, automate personalized reminders, and ensure every message complies with HIPAA regulations. Think of it as a central nervous system for your practice: efficient, responsive, and entirely yours. No more patchwork of apps; just a single, scalable platform that evolves with your needs.
What Makes Us Different:
Transform Your Patient Relationships with Precision
Boost Retention Through Timely, Personalized Care
Boost Retention Through Timely, Personalized Care: Our systems send tailored reminders for annual dilated eye exams or contact lens reorders, reducing no-shows by up to 40% within the first six months. Patients feel seen, not just scheduled—leading to higher Net Promoter Scores and repeat visits for ongoing vision monitoring that stabilize your revenue.
Achieve Ironclad HIPAA Compliance Without the Headache
Achieve Ironclad HIPAA Compliance Without the Headache: Every message, from SMS confirmations of refraction results to secure email summaries of intraocular pressure readings, is encrypted and audited automatically. Avoid the fines averaging $50,000 per violation that plague 25% of non-compliant practices; our audits have helped clients pass HIPAA reviews with zero issues during annual audits.
Free Your Team to Focus on Vision Care, Not Admin
Free Your Team to Focus on Vision Care, Not Admin: Automate routine outreach like recall campaigns for diabetic retinopathy screenings or cataract follow-ups, saving staff 15-20 hours weekly on manual tasks. This shifts focus to high-value tasks like detailed slit-lamp examinations, improving overall practice efficiency and patient outcomes in a field where timely intervention prevents vision loss.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were using three different apps for patient texts and emails, and it was a nightmare during peak allergy season with all the rescheduling for dry eye consultations. Their custom system integrated seamlessly with our EHR, and our no-show rate dropped from 18% to 7% in just three months. Patients especially appreciate the personalized reminders about their progressive lens fittings and post-exam care instructions."
Dr. Emily Chen
Lead Optometrist, ClearVision Optometry Group, serving 5,000+ patients annually in urban California
"HIPAA compliance was always a worry with our old email setup—especially when sending out educational materials on age-related macular degeneration risk factors. AIQ built us a secure patient portal that handles everything from appointment confirmations to sharing OCT scan results, and we've had zero incidents since rollout six months ago. Plus, our staff reports it's cut their follow-up calls by more than half, allowing more time for in-office retinal evaluations."
Mark Rivera
Practice Manager, EyeCare Associates Clinic, specializing in retinal disorders with a team of 12
"We serve a lot of Spanish- and Mandarin-speaking families in our diverse neighborhood, and generic tools couldn't handle accurate translations for pediatric vision screenings or amblyopia treatment plans. The AI communication platform they created auto-detects language and sends precise info on topics like myopia progression in children. Retention went up 22% last quarter, and it's been a game-changer for our community outreach efforts in early intervention programs."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your solution ensure HIPAA compliance for optometry communications?
HIPAA compliance is non-negotiable in healthcare, especially for optometry where sensitive data like vision prescriptions is involved. Our custom systems use end-to-end encryption for all messages, implement role-based access controls, and maintain detailed audit logs for every interaction. We integrate with your EHR using secure APIs that adhere to HITRUST standards. During development, we conduct thorough risk assessments and penetration testing. For instance, in a recent project for a mid-sized practice, our solution passed an external HIPAA audit with a perfect score, preventing potential fines that average $50,000 per violation. Ongoing, we provide annual compliance reviews to keep you protected as regulations evolve.
Yes, integration is at the core of our approach. We specialize in building custom two-way APIs that connect our communication platform directly to popular optometry EHRs such as Topcon, NextGen, or RevolutionEHR. This means patient data like appointment times or exam notes flows automatically—no manual entry required. For example, when a patient books a glaucoma screening, the system triggers a personalized reminder with prep instructions. We've successfully integrated with over 50 EHR variants, reducing data silos and errors by 70% for clients. The process starts with a mapping session to ensure every workflow, from billing codes to spectacle orders, is covered seamlessly.
What kind of customization is available for patient reminders in optometry?
Customization is what sets us apart—we tailor reminders to your exact needs, like specific protocols for post-LASIK care or contact lens hygiene tips. Using AI, the system analyzes patient history from your EHR to generate personalized messages, such as 'Remember to avoid rubbing your eyes after today's dilation.' You can set triggers for events like annual dilated exams or urgent referrals for retinal issues. We've helped practices reduce no-shows by 35% by varying formats—SMS for quick confirmations, emails for detailed vision health updates. It's flexible: adjust tones for pediatric vs. adult patients, and even include multilingual options for accessibility.
How long does it take to implement a custom communication solution?
Implementation typically takes 8-12 weeks, depending on your practice's complexity, but we prioritize quick wins. In the first two weeks, we map your workflows and prototype core features like appointment reminders. By week six, basic automation is live, allowing immediate relief from manual tasks. Full rollout, including advanced AI personalization for things like dry eye follow-ups, wraps up with staff training. For a recent optometry client with two locations, we had 80% functionality operational in under 10 weeks, with no disruption to daily operations. Post-launch, we monitor and tweak for optimal performance, ensuring long-term value without extended downtime.
Will this solution help with patient retention specific to eye care?
Absolutely—retention in optometry hinges on consistent, relevant communication, and our AI excels here. We automate targeted campaigns, like reminders for progressive lens adjustments or warnings about UV protection for high-risk patients. Analytics track open rates and responses, helping refine strategies; one client saw a 28% uplift in recall visits for routine screenings. Unlike generic tools, ours integrates vision-specific data, sending tailored content that builds trust—like progress updates on myopia management. With industry benchmarks showing retained patients generate 67% more lifetime value, this directly impacts your bottom line while enhancing patient-centric care.
What support do you provide after the system is built?
Our partnership doesn't end at deployment; we offer comprehensive ongoing support to keep your system performing at peak. This includes 24/7 monitoring for uptime, monthly performance reports on metrics like message delivery rates for exam reminders, and quarterly optimization sessions to incorporate new features, such as AI enhancements for tele-optometry consults. Dedicated account managers handle any issues, and we provide unlimited training updates as your staff or regulations change. Clients appreciate our proactive approach—one practice avoided a compliance snag during a surprise audit thanks to our routine checks. Ultimately, this ensures your investment continues delivering ROI, with support costs 50% lower than maintaining multiple vendor subscriptions.
