Santo Domingo. – Medical tourism adds a new technological ally with the arrival of heva, an innovative platform for managing medical consultations powered by artificial intelligence. Its proposal aims to transform the experience of international patients by simplifying processes, reducing complications and breaking down barriers to health access.
In a sector marked by fragmentation and complexity, heva presents itself as a bridge between patients seeking quality medical care abroad and verified clinics. In addition, it offers health professionals tools that automate communication, streamline bookings, ensure secure payments and improve patient preparation at every stage, from the first consultation regardless of the time of day.
“With heva we want patients to travel calmly and safely, and doctors to work without complications. Our mission is to facilitate access to health, breaking down barriers at every stage of the process,” said Varun Annadi, co‑founder of the company.
For his part, Dominican Héctor Terrero, also co‑founder, highlighted the international dimension of this project that has already begun to expand. “This is not just a personal story, it is a global story,” he noted when announcing the company’s first financing round, aimed at taking the platform to new markets.
A strategic alliance in the Caribbean
Within this expansion, heva secured a strategic alliance with CECILIP, one of the most renowned plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine clinics in the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean. Founded in 1997 by Dr. Jesús Abreu, CECILIP has built a legacy of excellence for more than 27 years, establishing itself as a regional reference in high‑complexity aesthetic procedures.
The synergy between CECILIP’s clinical experience and heva’s technology will allow international patients to enjoy a comprehensive experience: from the initial contact through postoperative recovery, with faster, safer and more transparent processes.
With this alliance, heva reaffirms its vision of offering care without borders. The platform not only connects patients and doctors, but also optimizes the administrative management of clinics and physicians, reducing operational burdens and improving consultation efficiency.
Thus, heva positions itself as a global benchmark in medical tourism, opening opportunities for more people to access quality health services beyond their home countries, while clinics boost their international reach.
