Laura & Arkangel AI
“Arkangel AI does not sell software. It builds infrastructure that saves lives.”
Laura Velásquez represents a proven view of how to scale health AI. She founded Arkangel AI, a platform operating across hospitals, clinics, pharma and clinical operations in LATAM and the USA, with real solutions for revenue intelligence, automated coding, payer compliance and clinical quality.
With experience in change management and technology adoption in health systems, she has led implementations under HIPAA, ISO 27001, INVIMA and ANVISA. Before Arkangel, she built hyper-growth strategies for Netflix and Rappi across five countries. Today she works with AstraZeneca, Novartis, Boston Scientific, J&J and UNICEF.
“AI does not replace the physician. It gives them back the time to be a physician.”
