## About Akara

Akara is a healthcare technology company founded in 2020 as a spin-out from Trinity College Dublin.

The company focuses on using AI and robotics to enhance surgical efficiency in hospitals, aiming to reclaim operating room time and increase surgical capacity. Akara's mission is to modernize public health by minimizing preventable delays and downtime in surgical environments. The company's automation platform features three main components: an AI-powered ambient IoT sensor that monitors operating room activity, a real-time AI notification system that improves staff coordination, and an autonomous disinfection robot named "Violet" that uses UV radiation for faster and more effective cleaning. Akara's technology is designed to integrate smoothly into existing hospital workflows, helping to free up valuable resources and time. The company has received recognition from notable organizations and has validated its technology in over ten hospitals and surgery centers across Europe, the U.S., and Japan.
