AKASA provides technology solutions aimed at enhancing efficiency and revenue outcomes in the healthcare sector. The company specializes in a combination of computer vision-based Robotic Process Automation (RPA), machine learning, and human-in-the-loop automation to optimize complex Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) workflows.
