Saúde Trevo

What Saúde Trevo does

Saúde Trevo is a Brazilian digital healthcare marketplace founded in February 2022 by Ana Elisa (a medical doctor who previously built and exited GSC-Grupo Santa Celina to Latin America's largest laboratory network) and Adam Alves (an engineer with experience at GSC and Dasa). The company operates a self-serve platform at saudetrevo.com.br that aggregates more than 500 laboratory units across 100+ brands in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Belo Horizonte, enabling individual patients to search, compare prices, and book over 5,000 types of medical examinations — including clinical analyses, imaging, cardiology, genetic tests, endoscopy, biopsies, and ophthalmology. Its primary customer segments are uninsured Brazilians and those with restrictive health insurance plans, addressing a target market of roughly 160 million people who pay out-of-pocket in the private system.

The platform's core technology is a marketplace with AI-driven exam name normalization and prescription photo recognition, allowing users to find the same exam regardless of how different laboratories label it. Core product features include online search and price comparison, scheduling, a protected payment system where charges are only captured after laboratory confirmation, token-based verification at the lab, and a 30-day guaranteed purchase refund policy. Adjacent offerings include medical consultation booking, a PicDoc teleconsultation integration, domiciliary sample collection, an Esfera loyalty rewards layer, and an Uber return-trip voucher. The go-to-market is digital-first: SEO-optimized exam landing pages, a health education blog, organic social on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, and WhatsApp-assisted scheduling for users who prefer guided purchasing.

The business model is intermediation-based: users pay the full exam price to Trevo, which retains a platform fee embedded in the transaction price and forwards the remainder to the partner laboratory after service confirmation. Pricing is transparent and variable by laboratory, with advertised discounts of up to 70% versus standard rates and the ability to pay in up to 10 interest-free credit card installments. The company is privately held, LGPD-compliant, and holds a Reclame Aqui quality seal. Revenue, funding, and detailed unit economics are not publicly disclosed.
