Barti

“Can a vertical EHR for eye care become the single operating system — clinical, billing, payments, and RCM — that replaces 5+ disconnected tools in an independent optometry practice?”

The story

Barti is a vertical SaaS EHR and practice-management platform for eye care (optometry, ophthalmology, opticians), founded 2021 in San Francisco. The company has layered AI (Quinn Scribe, Quinn Marketing, Quinn Patient Assistant) on top of core clinical and operational workflows, and in 2025 extended into embedded finance by shipping payment processing, RCM services, billing/claims and expense management directly inside the EHR. The embedded-finance footprint is intentionally narrow — Barti leans on Stripe for payment processing rather than building its own money-movement stack — and the strategic bet is becoming the single system of record for independent eye-care practices.
