Telepatia Raises $33M to Scale AI Healthcare Platform in Latin America
São Paulo startup's clinical AI has reached 14 million patients across 25+ hospital systems since launching in 2025.
Telepatia secures major funding for healthcare AI expansion
São Paulo-based Telepatia has closed a $33 million Series A funding round to expand its artificial intelligence platform across Latin American healthcare systems. Andreessen Horowitz led the investment, joined by notable technology leaders including Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar, Rappi founder Simón Borrero, and Nubank founder David Vélez.
The company builds AI-powered tools specifically designed for healthcare delivery in Latin America, training its systems on peer-reviewed medical literature, clinical guidelines, and local institutional protocols relevant to the region.
Platform capabilities and early results
Telepatia's platform encompasses AI-powered clinical documentation, decision support systems, and what the company describes as AI healthcare employees—including virtual doctors, nurses, and auditors. These tools work within existing hospital workflows to support clinical staff.
Since its 2025 launch, the platform has been deployed across more than 25 hospital systems and reached 14 million patients, according to Daisy Wolf, partner at Andreessen Horowitz Health Investing. The company reports improving protocol adherence rates from 84% to 99% and preventing 60,000 medical errors in real time.
Why it matters
Latin America faces significant healthcare access and quality challenges, with fragmented systems and resource constraints limiting care delivery. AI tools trained on region-specific protocols and medical practices could address these gaps more effectively than solutions built for other markets. Telepatia's early traction—reaching millions of patients within months—suggests demand for localized healthcare AI that integrates with existing infrastructure rather than requiring wholesale system replacement.
Growing momentum for healthcare AI in the region
Telepatia previously raised $9 million in seed funding led by A-Star, with participation from Abstract, Canary, SV Angel, Picus, Nido, and angel investors.
The investment arrives as Latin American governments increase focus on healthcare AI. Brazil launched its Brazilian Artificial Intelligence Plan (PBIA) 2024–2028, a multibillion-dollar strategy that includes seven healthcare-specific initiatives: implementing voice-enabled medical records in the public health system, applying AI to medication procurement, optimizing diagnostics, supporting oral health, detecting procedural anomalies, managing legal processes, and improving elderly care.
El Salvador expanded its DoctorSV platform in April, built with Google's Gemini technology, to handle chronic disease management and virtual consultations.
The funding will support Telepatia's geographic expansion across Latin America and continued development of its AI healthcare workforce tools.
