About
Barti is an AI-powered operating system for eye care practices, purpose-built by optometrists, ophthalmologists, and opticians who understand the clinical and administrative demands of running a modern optical practice. At its core, Barti replaces fragmented, legacy EHR systems with a unified cloud-based platform that handles everything from exam charting and patient scheduling to billing, optical ordering, and HIPAA-compliant messaging—all in one place. Its AI Scribe feature dramatically reduces the time clinicians spend charting during exams, allowing providers to focus on patients rather than screens. The built-in calendar makes appointment scheduling effortless, while the digital patient intake forms eliminate paper-based workflows. The optical and contact lens ordering module gives dispensing teams a streamlined, professional toolset, and the integrated billing engine ensures practices never leave revenue on the table. Barti also includes two-way texting and VoIP calling directly within the platform, eliminating the need for third-party communication tools. With 10x higher uptime than leading competitors, enterprise-grade security, and full HIPAA compliance, Barti provides the reliability and peace of mind that healthcare providers require. It is the first and only EHR endorsed and invested in by AOAExcel, making it a trusted choice for both new cold-start practices and established multi-provider clinics looking to modernize their operations.
