ACL Digital Launches AgentixCare, a Human-in-the-Loop Agentic AI Platform for Healthcare Payers, Providers, and MedTech

Published

on

The AI-first platform applies agentic AI, generative AI, and predictive models across clinical care, revenue cycle management, and connected MedTech, with humans in control of every critical decision.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ACL Digital, part of the ALTEN Group, today announced the launch of AgentixCare, a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Agentic AI platform for healthcare payers, providers, and MedTech organizations. A trusted AI-led Digital Enterprise & Systems Engineering Partner, ACL Digital drives innovation by designing and building intelligent systems across the full technology stack, from chip-to-cloud.

Traditional healthcare platforms record what happened but rarely act on it. Fragmented EHRs, manual prior authorizations, rising claim denials, and disconnected device data bury clinicians in documentation and leave revenue teams chasing paperwork. AgentixCare closes that gap, cutting costs by up to 30–50% while improving productivity, care quality, cash flow, and asset uptime, with HITL oversight at every decision point.

“Healthcare does not need another dashboard. It needs AI that does real clinical, financial, and operational work, safely. AgentixCare puts autonomous agents to work on the tasks that slow care down, from prior authorizations to denials to documentation, while keeping clinicians firmly in control. That is how our clients will move from AI pilots to measurable outcomes in weeks, not years,” said Ramandeep Singh, CEO of ACL Digital.

Unlike point solutions that bolt AI onto legacy workflows, the platform is built AI-first. Its agents assess data, gather clinical and policy evidence, assemble submissions, trace root causes, and recommend next-best actions.

End-to-End Coverage Across the Healthcare Value Chain

Clinical Care & Intelligence: EHR-ready AI notes, predictive early warnings, real-time clinical decision support (CDS), and formulary mapping.Agentic Revenue Cycle & Payer Operations: Electronic prior authorization and end-to-end claim and denial management, from scrubbing to recovery and reconciliation.Intelligent Connected MedTech: Predictive maintenance, performance analytics, a GenAI copilot for surgical robotics fleets, and infusion pump monitoring.AI-Governed Trust, Risk & Compliance: A compliance copilot for HIPAA and HITECH readiness.Future-Ready Interoperability: HL7 v2, FHIR R4, and SMART on FHIR connectors for leading enterprise and open-source EMRs.

The platform is designed to significantly reduce manual prior authorization work and administrative costs, speed up routine authorization decisions, cut claim denials and unplanned device downtime, catch more patient anomalies, and deliver faster answers through AI copilots and natural language processing.

“We engineered AgentixCare the way we build medical-grade systems: interoperable from day one, secure by design, and governed end to end. Every agent works on FHIR and HL7 data, every recommendation shows its evidence, and every action is approved and recorded. That combination of agentic AI and Human-in-the-Loop governance is what makes enterprise adoption fast and safe,” said Suresh Venkateswaran, Head – Digital Product Engineering Services at ACL Digital.

AgentixCare draws on ACL Digital’s decades of domain and product engineering experience with healthcare, life sciences, and medical device companies. Developed by the company’s Healthcare Center of Excellence, it combines first-hand knowledge of Clinical, Payer, and MedTech workflows with interoperability standards and responsible AI practices.

AgentixCare is available now for pilot programs. To request a demonstration, visit AgentixCare programs.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
