    About Ufonia

    Ufonia: Clinical AI Agent for Ophthalmology

    Ufonia provides Dora, a clinical AI agent designed to call and support cataract patients. The platform helps ophthalmology practices expand their capacity and maintain high standards of care by automating patient communication throughout the cataract surgery pathway. Dora is currently live in clinical trials and partnering with select US practices, having already completed over 150,000 consultations in the UK with patient satisfaction scores consistently above 90%.

    Key Features

    • History of Present Illness Collection: Calls patients before their first appointment to gather a complete medical history in their own words, ensuring consultations start with necessary context.
    • Patient Education: Explains lens options to patients in plain language prior to their appointments, ensuring consistent education without utilizing staff time.
    • Pre-Op Preparation: Contacts patients days before surgery to provide step-by-step guidance on what to do, what to avoid, and what to expect.
    • Post-Op Care: Conducts post-surgery check-ins to monitor recovery, surface early concerns, and keep routine recoveries off the clinic schedule.

    Use Cases

    • Cataract Patient Management: Managing the full communication pathway for cataract patients, from initial history gathering to post-operative follow-ups.
    • Referral Management and Triage: Used for referral management and preoperative triage to increase clinic productivity and efficiency.
