EliseAI named as co-development partner with Nextech to bring agentic voiceai to specialty practices. Already live with Nextech practices, EliseAI's voice agent will expand through co-developed integrations, deeper APIs, and joint support. October 09, 2026 10:00 ET | Source: EliseAI NEW YORK, Oct. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - EliseAI, which builds AI automation for patient engagement, has been named a co-development partner for patient access by Nextech, a provider of EHR and practice management software for ophthalmology, dermatology, orthopedics, and other specialties. EliseAI's voice agents already fully handle patient calls for practices on Nextech, and EliseAI was selected for the strength of that technology in specialty care. The partnership takes the work further. The companies are co-developing deeper API integrations and aligning implementation, customer success, and support, so practices can cut no-shows and abandoned calls and give staff more time for patient care. EliseAI has built an agentic platform that follows each patient through their entire care journey, rather than a set of disconnected tools that each handle a single task. The platform supports every step, from the first referral through scheduling, intake forms, benefits verification, and payment to the follow-up that keeps care on track. EliseAI's voice agents answer every call, at any hour, in the patient's preferred language across 30+ languages. Reading and writing directly into the practice's Nextech system, they schedule, reschedule, and cancel appointments, answer common questions, and escalate to staff when needed. The same agent calls and texts patients for recall, reminders, and follow-up. It carries the history of every prior conversation, so patients never repeat themselves, and it follows each provider's scheduling protocols. "Patients judge a practice by whether someone picks up the phone. They also notice when a practice reaches out at the right moment," said Minna Song, co-founder and CEO of EliseAI. "Our agents hold more than 20 million conversations every month and currently support thousands of providers. That volume is why we handle the complexity of healthcare calls better than anyone, whether it's a glaucoma patient on a multi-visit monitoring schedule or a post-op cataract patient with urgent symptoms. Partnering with Nextech brings that to the specialty practices that already trust Nextech to run their business." Nextech practices will access EliseAI through their existing Nextech relationship, with streamlined onboarding and a single point of contact. The companies are co-developing a joint integration built on enhanced APIs and have aligned implementation, customer success, and support. "Our customers want to grow access and reduce front-desk burden without adding complexity," said John Beck, SVP of Strategy at Nextech. "By partnering with leading voice AI innovators like EliseAI and building the integration and support model together, we're giving practices a seamless experience within the Nextech platform they already know and trust. It's another step toward our vision of a connected ecosystem that brings the best capabilities to specialty practices." Specialty practices using EliseAI have seen 12% more patients booked on average, 8% fewer no-shows, and more than 40% of lapsed reached through recall outreach booking an appointment. With EliseAI's newest Referrals Automation product, incoming faxes are processed and converted into a scheduled appointment within minutes. "Before Elise, we were fielding around 11,000 calls with the volume climbing quickly after our merger," said Amanda Moorefield, Vice President of Operations at TriaVision. "Elise has eased that workload and supports our patients, so our team spends less time addressing missed calls and catching up on voicemails." EliseAI and Nextech will be at the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) Annual Meeting in New Orleans this weekend.

Nextech unveils agentic AI capabilities for patient experience through partnerships with Assort Health and EliseAI. By GlobeNewswire October 9, 2026 Specialty practices gain a choice of two leading AI patient access platforms, unveiled at AAO 2026 in New Orleans TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Nextech, a leading technology partner for specialty healthcare practices, today announced new strategic partnerships with Assort Health and EliseAI to bring agentic AI to the front door of the patient experience 24/7. Clients now have a choice of two leading AI patient access platforms deeply integrated into Nextech's specialty healthcare operating system and connected to the scheduling, intake, readiness, and communication workflows they already manage with Nextech. Specialty practices face growing patient demand and persistent front-office staffing challenges. Missed calls, long hold times, and after-hours gaps turn patient demand into lost appointments and frustrated patients. With Assort Health and EliseAI, Nextech is integrating agentic AI capabilities into the specialty practice workflows providers already use to manage scheduling, intake, readiness, and follow up, while giving practices choice across leading patient-access platforms. Importantly, Nextech is enabling specialty practices to provide 24/7 patient access so patients can engage when it's convenient for them, including outside of regular operating hours of practices. "Every practice is looking for ways to improve patient access while relieving pressure on their teams," said Rusty Frantz, Chief Executive Officer of Nextech. "With Assort Health and EliseAI, we are giving practices the choice of two leading solutions, built into the Nextech operating system they already know and trust. This is an important step in bringing agentic AI into specialty practice workflows in a practical, connected way, and delivers on our vision to build an integrated ecosystem where the best capabilities work together as part of a unified experience." Nextech's selection of Assort Health and EliseAI was driven by four key factors: * Choice - Specialty practices should have choice, and each platform brings distinct strengths. This allows practices to select the platform that best fits their workflow, patients, and operational priorities, with Nextech alongside them as a trusted partner. * Integrated - These partnerships are designed to connect AI patient access capabilities directly into the Nextech operating system through joint engineering and workflow design. Patient interactions continue seamlessly within the system practices already rely on every day. * Outcomes - Nextech is focused on helping specialty practices improve access, efficiency, and patient experience. These partnerships will help practices answer more patient inquiries, reduce front office strain, and keep schedules full, while giving staff more capacity to focus on higher value work. * Commitment - These strategic partnerships are a critical part of Nextech's vision for agentic AI in specialty healthcare. Both are multi-year partnerships with shared roadmaps, joint go-to-market planning, and co-investment focused on bringing connected AI capabilities into the workflows specialty practices use to grow, operate, and care for patients. "We've already built and deployed a deep integration with Nextech practices. What sets this partnership apart is what Assort brings to that foundation: our focus on healthcare shapes everything we build, and we're live with hundreds of organizations, including 40% of the Fortune 20 healthcare enterprises. Every deployment strengthens our platform, workflows, and best practices. Nextech customers get more than an integration. They get a purpose-built ophthalmology platform and a team that knows how to adapt it quickly to the complexity of their practice," said Jeff Liu, Founder and co-CEO of Assort Health. "Every unanswered call is a patient who might book somewhere else or miss care they need. We support more than 20 million conversations a month, and leading specialty practices pick EliseAI after testing us against other vendors. This partnership brings our deep, live integrations with both Select/Cloud and Practice+ to practices of every size, so more calls turn into booked visits and more patients get seen," said Minna Song, co-founder & CEO, EliseAI. Nextech will showcase the new partnerships at AAO 2026, Booth 2027, Oct. 10-12 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Assort Health will be at Booth 3126 and EliseAI will be at Booth 1061.
