Early access. Alto's core engine (capture, completeness-checking, chasing, quality assurance) runs today. The ophthalmology-specific pieces (subspecialty routing, readiness checks, slot rules) are built with our first eye-care partners.
FOR EYE CLINICS
Urgent seen first. Cataract lists run full.
An eye practice runs several businesses through one front door, and the moments it slips (a cold enquiry, an unready list, an urgent retina seen late) are the expensive ones. Alto receives every referral and self-pay enquiry, works out what it is and how urgent, checks it has what that pathway needs, routes it to the right subspecialist, and carries it through to a patient ready to proceed.
Cost
Several businesses, one front door. Where it slips is where it costs.
Enquiries go cold
You pay to generate each one, and the patient books with whoever reaches them first.
High-value slots wasted
One-stop cataract needs current biometry and optometrist findings on the day; missing, the visit stalls or splits in two.
The urgent retina waits
Intake sorted by hand runs on inbox order, so urgency and routing go wrong: a complex eye in a standard slot, an urgent case behind routine enquiries.
One desk, every pathway
Cataract volume, glaucoma work-ups, retina imaging and oculoplastics conversion: different information, urgency and surgeon, through the same one or two people.
How Alto works
The pathway we are building with founding eye-care clinics:
The Assistant captures and acknowledges every referral and enquiry, across every channel, straight away.
1
The Assistant reads, prioritises and routes by pathway: subspecialty, urgency, your rules, the right surgeon and slot type.
The Assistant checks and chases what each pathway needs: biometry for cataract, fields and pressures for glaucoma, imaging for retina, insurer details for self-pay.
2
3
4
The Judge checks the work and flags anything low-confidence for a person.
Your Team receives a ready handoff: routed, complete, ready to proceed. The clinician makes every clinical decision; Alto never overrides them.
5
Why Alto, not a generic intake tool.
Booking widgets and front-desk CRMs can capture an enquiry and fire a reminder. They cannot read a referral, tell a routine cataract from an urgent retina, check the records that pathway needs, or check their own work. Alto runs two agents: the Assistant reads, prioritises, routes, checks and chases; the Judge checks that output and flags low-confidence cases for human review. As volume grows, the standard holds instead of depending on who opened the inbox.
The volume business and the urgent business share one front door. Alto keeps both promises.
