Aerska's solutions cater to healthcare providers, pharmaceutical firms, and research institutions, focusing on enhancing patient outcomes through precision medicine across North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. Aerska's revenue model is built on partnerships with pharmaceutical companies and research institutions in neurological research.
