# Sikka.ai

> Sikka.ai (Sikka Software Corporation, San Jose, California, founded 2004) is the data and AI infrastructure layer for retail healthcare: dentistry, orthodontics, veterinary medicine, optometry and chiropractic. It runs three engines on one data foundation: Self-Driving Practice® (AI that runs the entire office for dental and veterinary practices), the ONE API Platform (one data model and MCP server for everyone who builds for those practices) and Galaxy Corpora and Environments (de-identified real-world healthcare data and training environments for AI laboratories).

Figures as of October 2026: 22 years in business, about 26 years of longitudinal data, 47,000+ connected practices, 192M+ patients across 26 years of records, 400+ practice management systems, 4 million+ API calls a day and a 1.5 PB de-identified corpus. Sikka.ai serves practices in the United States, Canada and Australia.

## Self-Driving Practice®

Self-Driving Practice (SDP) is an autonomous operations layer for a single office or a multi-location network. It runs a closed loop (observe, predict, decide, act, measure, learn) across seven workflows:

- Smart Scheduling: fills gaps and cancellations and books the right patient at the right time
- PatientsNow: patient campaigns and follow-up by text, email and voice
- Insurance and claims: eligibility verification, estimates and claim submission
- Payments: statements, balances and collections
- Voice AI: inbound and outbound calls with full transcripts and instant human take-over
- Fee Optimizer: fee schedule analysis against local market data
- Control Tower: centralized work queues, location performance and regional policy for DSOs and groups

Copilot, built on Sikka.ai's purpose-trained DentalLLM, surfaces prioritized action plans for the team to approve.

### Safety modes

Every practice chooses how much authority the system has, and can change it at any time:

- **Off**: data and dashboards only; nothing is automated.
- **Recommendation**: prioritized action plans and drafts appear for the team to approve.
- **Simulation**: the system runs in a shadow state and shows what it would have done, internally only.
- **Full Self-Driving**: the system executes within the scopes and guardrails the practice sets, and reports what it did.

SDP is HIPAA compliant. Every action is audit-logged, permissions are role-based and a stop control is always one click away.

## ONE API Platform

ONE API is a single data model that reads and writes practice data across 400+ practice management systems: patients, appointments, treatment plans, notes, claims, insurance and KPIs. The MCP server lets AI agents use the same data in plain language; writebacks always preview first and nothing is written without an explicit confirm. The platform also includes DentalLLM, the SAI no-code app builder and the Sikka.ai Marketplace.

Recognition: five-time API World winner (2017, 2019, 2022, 2024 and 2026; Best Innovation in Health API in 2026) and the 2025 CloudX Award for Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).

## Galaxy Corpora and Environments

Galaxy, from Sikka Insights, Inc., licenses de-identified, first-party real-world healthcare data from dental, orthodontic and veterinary practices to frontier, neo and data laboratories. Galaxy Environments provide calibrated practice-management environments for training and evaluating agents. Details: https://galaxy.sikka.ai
