An Irish robotics startup has developed two decontamination robots that have been deployed in a UK hospital, with the important mission of cleaning its wards and operating theatres more efficiently. Thanks to a generous financial donation from the Friends of the Friarage, the Northallerton hospital, which is part of the South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Friarage Hospital is currently home to Akara Robotics' cutting-edge UV decontamination units. Following positive initial trial results, two of Akara's decontamination robots - winners of the Best Newcomer award at the Infection Prevention Society Conference 2024 - can now be seen in the hospital's clinical decisions unit, wards and operating theatres as part of the next stage of the clinical evaluation of the technology. Working in tandem with the strong team of environmental services staff, the robots serve as a powerful tool to enable the hospital to decontaminate rooms with a quicker turnaround time. Niamh Donnelly, Co-Founder and Chief Robotics Officer of Akara Robotics said: "Akara's robots build on more than a decade of robotics and artificial intelligence research conducted at Trinity College Dublin, from which the company spun out. Unique AI capabilities give our robots the ability to operate autonomously, which enables them to navigate and decontaminate clinical rooms based on a programme of cleaning instructions that they are given. "We are extremely proud to see our robots working in a hospital setting. It's wonderful to know that they are making a real difference in helping to keep patients safe, and serves as great vindication for all the hard work the team has put in over the years." ? Frontline staff, working with Akara, have created a bespoke workflow app with the aim of removing the need for paper checklists and providing real-time alerts when rooms are available, further enhancing efficiency. James Dunbar, consultant in infection and general medicine as well as chair of the Friarage Clinical Collaborative, said: "Microbes with resistance to antibiotics are probably the biggest emerging challenge in healthcare today. Our main defence is cleaning and decontamination. Last year, our pilot study using Akara technology had amazing results. We are so grateful to the Friends of Friarage for funding our continued collaboration. It is massively exciting to work with absolutely cutting-edge robotic decontamination units and be right at the forefront of innovation." Conor McGinn, CEO of Akara and Professor at Trinity's School of Engineering, said: "Our robot has been designed not just to improve the quality and consistency of cleaning but to make life easier for staff by streamlining workflows. Importantly, it helps hospitals enable quicker room turnaround times and shorten the time it takes for patients to be admitted. We're proud to see our technology making a real difference at the Friarage Hospital and excited to continue supporting their efforts to stay at the forefront of innovation." Earlier this year, Akara was accepted into the Techstars Healthcare Accelerator in Los Angeles, a program sponsored by leading US healthcare providers, including UnitedHealth and Cedars-Sinai. Following the successful completion of their first trial in a US hospital, Akara has gained early traction in the American market. In September, the company was also recognised as the Best Newcomer at the Infection Prevention Society (IPS) Annual Conference. Looking ahead, Akara aims to expand its presence in the US healthcare market while continuing to scale operations in Europe. The company is also preparing to formally launch a new product next year designed to help hospitals reclaim lost time in their surgical departments, improving efficiency and patient throughput.

Udemy has over 24 million students and over 100,000 courses, James Dunbar who is the Senior Manager of Community Programs & Strategy at Udemy shared with us how they look at community and support their huge base of online instructors. The instructors on Udemy are key to the company's success, without incredible courses in areas where students want to learn students won't use Udemy. That's why they have focused a lot of their community efforts to support the instructors, that's where James focuses his efforts. What we've seen over all the episodes of The C2C Podcast is the most successful (and most funded) community programs do a great job of tying back to business goals. James shared a way of accomplishing this that we hadn't heard of before which seemed like it could really be powerful. Most will find a way to tie back metrics like revenue, churn, customer support requests in whatever software is used to track those metrics. Of course, there are many variables that go into making those metrics improve so the needs of the sales, support and other departments aren't always the same. James will get coffee with key people in those departments and ask them “What are some problems you are running into right now?” and see if the community can help. He figured out after talking with the person who is running social that she needed help creating more content, James knew the community could help. He turned to the community to help create user-generated content and it was a huge success. This method is pretty manual but the brilliant part about it is it allows you to change your focus if a larger area of opportunity arises for the community to impact the company. Another tactic that we talked about that we don't normally cover is appointment content. This is anything that is scheduled like a live webinar or Q&A that is a great way to constantly activate the community. If it was just a video or helpful piece of content there is no urgency, the fact that it's scheduled makes the community activate. James is someone who has worked at a 2 person startup and a 500 person company, community helps at every stage.
