Akara AI Platform
Akara’s proprietary AI sensor non-obtrusively monitors activity in the operating room to provide real-time information on room status and workflow. It reduces the need for manual data entry and helps clinical teams stay coordinated. The system is designed to be unobtrusive, protect staff privacy, and fit easily into existing hospital environments.
The Akara AI Platform robot boasts three unique capabilities
1. We’ve created a faster, more accurate way to record OR data
Hospitals waste thousands of hours each year on manual time tracking and documentation. Akara’s proprietary AI sensor automates this process, capturing key surgical timestamps passively, freeing up staff from a manual data entry process that’s subject to high degrees of human error. Installed in under an hour with no CapEx or EHR integration, the sensor uses thermal imaging to detect room activity while protecting privacy far more effectively than video-based systems. The result: 5–6x more accurate surgical data, less clerical burden, and a clearer picture of how each operating room is used.
2. We’ve Made It Easy to Know What’s Happening in Every OR
Operating rooms (ORs) rarely run exactly on schedule; surgeries end early, run late, or change at the last minute, making it difficult for charge nurses and frontline staff to coordinate effectively. Akara’s AI platform continuously monitors OR activity in real time and updates a live dashboard so key staff always know what’s happening. It also sends automated notifications by SMS, email, or app to alert teams when a room is ready for cleaning, when a case is wrapping up, or when delays arise—reducing idle time and keeping turnover on track without constant check-ins or guesswork.
3. We’ve Replaced Complex Dashboards With a Simple Interface
Hospitals collect vast amounts of OR data, but most of it sits unused—locked behind complex dashboards or siloed systems. Akara makes that data useful. We generate clear, actionable metrics tailored to surgical operations, and make them accessible through a natural language interface—so charge nurses, OR directors, and administrators can simply ask questions and get answers in plain English. We also partner with hospitals to develop predictive models that forecast delays and optimize surgery scheduling, helping teams make smarter decisions in real time and over the long term.
