Barti
Empowering optometrists with world-class software
About Barti
Barti is a San Francisco-based company developing a cloud-based, all-in-one practice management platform for the eye care industry. Founded in 2021 by CEO Colton Calandrella and COO Dr. Kelly Cai, O.D., the company aims to modernize optometry workflows, reducing administrative tasks so providers can focus on patient care. The founding was inspired by Dr. Cai's experience as a practicing optometrist since 2018, combined with insights from over 30 eye care professionals and development by Silicon Valley engineers. Calandrella's leadership and the company's approach were recognized with his inclusion in Vision Monday's 2025 "30 Under 30" list.
Read full description
The company operates on a SaaS business model, providing a subscription-based service that bundles multiple practice management tools into a single platform. This model is designed to replace the need for several disparate software systems, thereby reducing costs and streamlining operations for its clients, which range from single-doctor offices to multi-location practices. Barti has secured notable backing, including a financial investment and the first-ever EHR endorsement from AOAExcel, a subsidiary of the American Optometric Association. The company has raised a total of $5M in funding as of a November 2022 seed round.
Barti's core offering is an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system distinguished by its integration of artificial intelligence. A key feature is the "AI Scribe," which uses ambient listening to capture, transcribe, and summarize doctor-patient conversations into structured clinical notes in real-time. This technology aims to drastically reduce charting time, which can consume a significant portion of a provider's day. The platform also includes an "AI Smart Scan" for extracting data from ID and insurance cards, an integrated Voice over IP (VoIP) phone system, online patient scheduling, and tools for optical and contact lens ordering. Additionally, Barti provides revenue cycle management services to help track claims and ensure quicker reimbursements, and even offers professionally built websites for practices.
