A startup founded on the premise that nearly half of all deaths in Latin America are preventable just landed one of the biggest venture checks in the region’s healthtech space. Telepatia AI has closed a $33 million Series A round led by Andreessen Horowitz, bringing its total funding to $42 million.
The company builds what it calls an “AI Doctor” platform, a clinical copilot and scribe tool designed to help physicians in Latin American hospitals make better decisions, faster. In a region where 43% of deaths are considered avoidable, the pitch practically writes itself.
What Telepatia actually does
The platform provides real-time transcription of medical visits, automatically generates structured electronic health records, and delivers evidence-based decision support to physicians as they work. It plugs into existing hospital systems rather than requiring institutions to rip out their current infrastructure.
The company claims its tools save physicians more than two hours of administrative work daily. Telepatia also reports that protocol adherence improves by more than 15% when clinicians use the platform.
