AI app development for optometrists.
Optometry practices-grade AI app development, shipped by people who've done it before.
How it works in New Zealand
We find the one workflow costing optometry practices the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Eye test recalls, bookings and patient messages handled automatically, with patient information protected under the Privacy Act 2020.
Made for New Zealand paperwork.
AI features that handle personal information under the Privacy Act 2020, with processing kept on the phone when the data should not leave it.
- What the Privacy Commissioner expects
- Personal data sent offshore
- Serious breaches get reported
The pattern across most optometry practices we work with.
Optometrists balance eye tests, recalls, and frame sales, with recall reminders often the first thing to slip.
Recall reminders and insurance or funding queries are the recurring admin load behind every optometry front desk.
The shape of the result for optometry practices: You try the AI feature on a real phone against your own documents or photos before the rest of the app is built. Built on Swift, hardened with the rest of the stack as it scales. Kiwi Dynamics
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Good questions, answered
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
What tools do you build AI app development on?
For AI app development we usually reach for Swift, Kotlin, Expo, Core ML, LiteRT. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your optometry practice team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for optometry practices that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
