Assort Health and Nextech to Build AI Agent for Ophthalmology Practices

Assort Health and Nextech announced in a press release that they will codevelop an AI agent offering for Nextech customers. The companies plan to deepen the agent's integration with the Nextech platform for ophthalmology practices.

Assort Health's existing Nextech Practice+ integration supports access to patient and appointment information, scheduling, and rescheduling. A shared API roadmap will add more workflows for tasks such as testing based follow up, urgent symptom escalation, cataract surgery coordination, and scheduling across multiple locations.

The agents also support patient intake, referrals, medication requests, payments, task management, and coverage outside business hours. DuPage Ophthalmology uses the system for about 500 patient calls each week and reports that it saves more than 60% of call handling time.
