Heva, the AI platform revolutionizing medical tourism, expands its presence in the Caribbean

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 seeks to transform the experience of international patients by simplifying processes, reducing complications, and breaking down barriers to accessing healthcare. 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 healthcare professionals tools that automate communication, streamline bookings, guarantee 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 healthcare, breaking down barriers at every stage of the process," said Varun Annadi, co-founder of the company. For his part, the Dominican Héctor Terrero, also a 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 pointed out when announcing the company's first round of financing, aimed at taking the platform to new markets. A strategic alliance in the Caribbean

Within the framework of this expansion, heva consolidated a strategic alliance with CECILIP, one of the most recognized 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 over 27 years, establishing itself as a regional reference in highly complex aesthetic procedures.

The synergy between CECILIP's clinical experience and heva technology will allow us to offer international patients a comprehensive experience: from initial contact to post-operative 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 doctors, reducing operational burdens and improving the efficiency of consultations. Thus, heva is emerging as a global benchmark in medical tourism, opening opportunities for more people to access quality health services beyond their countries of origin, while clinics enhance their international reach.
