Healthtech are initiatives that, with the support of automation, artificial intelligence, data analysis and other innovative resources, seek to impact the health system.
The objective of these startups is to contribute to the creation of solutions that provide efficiency and productivity in the procedures of the sectorand that these aspects facilitate access to this right.

Based on this concept, the Colombian firm Coco Digital operates, an emerging company that with its technological solutions has left its mark on different rural populations of the countryfrom peasant families from San Vicente del Caguan to the Emberá Katío indigenous community in Mutatá, a municipality in Urabá, Antioquia.
“Today, the challenge is to achieve an alliance with local and national governments to make this next step a reality. We are going to demonstrate that in Colombia this new generation of young people can change the course of Latin America with technological initiatives that close social gaps, dignify populations and elevate national talent as an example for the world. It is our challenge, we are achieving it and we are going to replicate it”said Robert Parada, CEO of the company.

The commitment of this healthtech for a better health system motivated its alliance with Cohan, the Antioquia Hospital Cooperative.
As the company explains, this union seeks to connect the real-time availability of more than 100 hospitals and enable a new virtual emergency model. This means that if a patient in a village needs quick attention, he accesses Coco and sees which doctor is available, not only in his local hospital, but in all of Antioquia so that he can be seen more quickly.
