What is Alto? The Intelligent Automation Platform for Specialist Private Practices
Alto is an AI-driven platform purpose-built for specialist doctors running private practices. It’s designed to turn the often tedious pre-consult paperwork and patient preparation into a smooth, operational advantage. Think of it as the future of pre-visit processing and preparation — a tool that understands the unique challenges faced by specialist private practices and transforms administrative burdens into seamless, efficient workflows.
Main Benefits of Using Alto

How Alto Automates Your Workflow, End-to-End
Alto doesn’t just help here and there — it automates the entire referral and patient onboarding process. It wrangles, labels, and triages every referral, whether it’s a new patient, an existing one, or a referral needing more info. All referrals from every source get consolidated in one place, so your team can instantly check completeness, category, and triage level. This means faster, smarter action without the usual back-and-forth.
Automatic Patient Onboarding Made Simple
Getting the right data at the right time is crucial. Alto lets you upload your clinical guidelines, protocols, SOPs, or prioritisation criteria — or just use their clinician-developed turnkey rules. Then, it automatically generates decision trees to assess your documents. Missing info? Flagged immediately. Once everything’s complete, triaging, scheduling, and care planning become a breeze.
Trust But Verify: Human Oversight Where It Counts
Alto isn’t about replacing clinicians — it’s about supporting them. You stay in full control by uploading your own protocols and setting the rules for referral evaluation. Alto provides a first-pass recommendation with transparent reasoning and evidence pulled directly from each referral. No black-box results here — just a clear, auditable trail that clinicians can trust.
