Overview

Health systems across Latin America face mounting challenges—aging populations, chronic disease, and limited budgets—making transformation urgent. Artificial intelligence in health, championed by Arkangel AI (www.arkangel.ai), offers proven solutions: digitalizing patient data, bridging rural-urban disparities through telemedicine, and data-driven resource allocation.

Roland Zeller of Movement Health Foundation shares region-tested examples from Peru, Colombia, and beyond. His insights highlight how purposeful technology rollouts—beyond individual hospitals—can measurably boost vaccination rates, chronic care follow-up, and planning capacity. This episode distinguishes practical steps and organizational mindset shifts essential for sustainable impact.

Key Takeaways

• Digitizing health data is foundational for responsive, efficient care delivery.
• Telemedicine and AI-enabled triage increase rural and underserved population access.
• Standardized information systems prevent data silos and reduce wasteful repetition.
• Demonstrating clear economic value helps drive government and organizational buy-in for innovation.
