Teker

What Teker does

Teker (legal entity: Teker Salud S.A.S.) is a Colombian healthtech founded in 2021 and headquartered in Cali, Valle del Cauca, that operates a vertically integrated telemedicine platform connecting patients with more than 150 credentialed medical professionals across 40 specialties and 16 subspecialties. Its consumer-facing application, Tekerap, provides 24/7 general consultations in under one hour and specialist visits in under two hours, alongside secure electronic health records, encrypted video consultations (integrated with Zoom Workplace under ISO 27001 / NIST 800 / HIPAA / GDPR controls), patient self-reported biometrics, and continuous remote monitoring covering ECG, glucose, blood pressure, pulse oximetry, and pulmonary function. The proprietary GIRiS (Gesti\u00f3n Inteligente de Riesgos en Salud) module layers AI-powered predictive modeling on top of these data streams to anticipate complications in chronic-disease patients and to coordinate multidisciplinary interconsultations in real time. Telemedicine-as-an-IPS authorization granted in November 2025 by the Secretar\u00eda Distrital de Santiago de Cali makes Teker the first exclusive telemedicine IPS in southwestern Colombia and clears the way for nationwide service.

Teker operates a hybrid go-to-market: a product-led self-serve channel via the Tekerapp.co app and website for individual patients, supplemented by an enterprise field-sales motion targeting IPS (provider institutions), EPS (insurers/promotores de salud), prepaid medicine companies, and corporate employers. Revenue streams include per-consultation fees on direct-to-consumer transactions, managed-services contracts with IPS for outsourced specialist access, and recurring subscription agreements with insurers and corporate buyers of employee health benefits. Named distribution partnerships include an exclusive arrangement with Coomeva Medicina Prepagada for the 'Te Acompa\u00f1o Vive al 100' home-care program and a strategic alliance with M\u00e9dica Colombia IPS. The company's professional community platform iCare and its SGSI / DRP security program round out the operational stack. As of October 2023 the platform delivered 60+ clinical-guidance consultations daily across 15 Colombian cities; the IPS Virtual habilitation now permits nationwide deployment. The company is privately held, founder-controlled by the Estrada family (Jacobo Estrada as CEO and Dr. Pascual Estrada as CMO/CSO), and has disclosed only a US$1 million angel-funded pre-seed round from October 2023.
