About Akara

We make hospitals work better for the people in them.

Hospital teams already do extraordinary work. We build the AI sensors, software and robots that give them the insight to do even more of what they do best.

Our story

From Trinity College Dublin research to hospitals in Europe and the U.S.

Akara is a spin-out from more than 10 years of robotics and AI research at Trinity College Dublin. Today the Akara AI Sensor helps hospital teams see how every room is used, so they always know what is running late, what is available and what needs fixing.

The Akara founders
“We founded Akara to help hospitals unlock greater efficiency in their clinical spaces through the use of AI-driven insights and robotic automation.”

What we believe

Hospital teams are the hero. Akara is the helper.

  • Give teams their time back

    Take the operational headaches off hospital staff, so time goes to patients, not chasing.

  • Privacy by design

    See how the hospital runs, not who is in it. Built for privacy from the start.

  • One platform for the whole hospital

    Simple to start, built to grow. Every team gets what it needs from the same data.
