Transforming Eye Care: Barti’s Breakthroughs and Highlights from Vision Expo West 2024

Vision Expo West 2024 in Las Vegas was a monumental event for Barti. We introduced groundbreaking technologies, engaged with eye care professionals, and celebrated key achievements. With our Iron Man-inspired theme, we emphasized the power of AI in revolutionizing optometry—because you can’t spell Barti without A.I.

Here’s a recap of the exciting events and product launches that took center stage during the expo.

Launching the AI Office Copilot and VoIP Phone System

At Vision Expo West, Barti unveiled two additional feature launches: the AI Office Copilot and our VoIP phone system.

‍

• AI Office Copilot: Built in partnership with Google engineers, this AI-powered Office Copilot seamlessly picks up incoming calls, schedules appointments, collects patient information, and directly enters the details into Barti's calendar – all in real-time.
• VoIP Phone System: Integrated directly into Barti’s EHR, our VoIP system streamlines communication by housing all patient interactions—calls and messages—in one centralized location, reducing errors and enhancing patient experiences.

These innovations mark a significant step forward in leveraging artificial intelligence to elevate optometry practices to new heights.
