LataMed AI Corp. (OTC: LMED), a healthcare technology company developing digital health and AI solutions for Latin America, announced today that its Venezuelan subsidiary has entered into separate agreements with Colegio Claret and Colegio Roraima in Caracas to develop and implement school-based digital healthcare initiatives. The partnerships aim to leverage schools as trusted community hubs to improve access to telemedicine services for students, families, and school personnel.
Under the agreements, LataMed AI and each school will collaborate on an implementation framework enabling authorized members of the school communities to access the company's online medical appointment scheduling and telemedicine services, connecting them with participating healthcare providers. The ventures will focus on online scheduling, telemedicine consultations, digital communications, and healthcare information to help families identify and connect with appropriate medical services. The parties will also establish operational, technical, privacy, consent, and safeguarding procedures required for implementation.
Dr. Kevin Rodan Levy, CEO of LataMed AI Corp., stated: "These agreements represent an opportunity to expand access to digital healthcare services through trusted educational institutions. Schools are important centers of communication for families and communities. Our objective is to work with Colegio Claret and Colegio Roraima to implement responsible programs that improve awareness of telemedicine services and make it easier for families to connect with qualified healthcare providers."
Management believes that working through educational institutions may provide an efficient way to introduce the company's digital healthcare services in a trusted community setting. The proposed model is intended to support coordinated communication among participating families, school administrators, and qualified healthcare providers. It may also demonstrate how LataMed AI's technology can be adapted for institutional healthcare-access programs beyond its direct-to-patient telemedicine services.
The school-based programs align with LataMed AI's broader healthcare ecosystem strategy, which focuses on connecting patients, healthcare professionals, pharmacies, insurers, payment providers, wellness organizations, educational institutions, and other participants in healthcare delivery. If successfully implemented, management believes the model developed with Colegio Claret and Colegio Roraima could provide a framework adaptable for other educational institutions in Venezuela and elsewhere in Latin America. However, any future expansion remains subject to separate discussions, appropriate agreements, operational readiness, regulatory considerations, and the availability of qualified healthcare providers.
Importantly, the agreements establish a framework for development but do not guarantee any specific implementation schedule, level of participation, revenue generation, or expansion. Any healthcare services made available would be provided by appropriately qualified professionals, and student participation would require parental or legal guardian authorization, compliance with privacy and data-protection requirements, school safeguarding policies, clinical protocols, and other applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
This partnership underscores a growing trend of integrating healthcare services into educational settings, potentially improving healthcare access in underserved communities. For more information, visit https://latamed.ai or review the company's filings with the SEC at www.sec.gov.
