Frequently asked questions
What people ask us before we start.
Direct answers about each solution, integration and the Barcelona Health Hub alliance.
AI medical triage
Learn moreWhat is AI medical triage?
It is a digital symptom assessment that asks patients clinical questions and tells them what level of care they need. It does not replace the doctor and helps them see the right patient at the right time.
Is Medikorp's triage certified?
The triage technology belongs to Mediktor, a CE-marked medical device in the European Union according to its manufacturer. Medikorp integrates and operates it in Ecuador, but it is not the device manufacturer.
Can it run inside my app or portal?
Yes. It integrates through an API or as a white label product inside the apps, web portals and messaging channels your patients already use.
Online medicine
Learn moreHow does Medikorp telemedicine work?
Patients first complete a digital triage. If their case can be handled remotely, they connect with a doctor by video, chat or phone, and the visit is documented.
What if the case needs an in-person visit?
The doctor or the triage itself refers the patient to an in-person visit or the ER, based on urgency.
Does it work with my doctor network?
Yes. We can connect your medical team or provider network to the platform.
Smart patient routing
Learn moreWhat is smart patient routing?
It uses digital triage and your network's rules to send each patient to the right service or specialist, instead of relying only on judgment at each entry point.
Does it adapt to my hospital's protocols?
Yes. Routing rules are configured with your protocols, specialties and capacity.
Does it integrate with my hospital system?
It can integrate through the API. Compatibility with your EHR or EMR system is confirmed in the technical assessment.
Claims cost reduction
Learn moreHow does Medikorp help reduce medical claims?
It guides members before they use a service, solves mild cases remotely and delivers data to anticipate portfolio risk. The impact is measured in a pilot, with indicators we agree on with you.
Do my members need another app?
No. We integrate triage and telemedicine into your app, portal or WhatsApp channel.
What reports does the insurer receive?
Population health reporting and analytics: symptom patterns, channel usage and trends, with anonymized data.
Digital health for the public sector
Learn moreHow does Medikorp help public health systems?
It gives the population digital medical guidance at any hour, routes each case to the right public service and delivers data to plan resources.
Does it work in rural areas?
Yes. Triage runs on web, app and messaging, which reaches people far from a health center.
How is citizen data protected?
Each deployment is configured under Ecuador's Organic Law on Personal Data Protection, and processing terms are set in the contract with each entity. Mediktor, the technology manufacturer, states alignment with GDPR and HIPAA.
API and white label integration
Learn moreWhat does white label mean in digital health?
It means the triage and telemedicine technology appears under your brand inside your app or portal, without users leaving your platform.
How long does it take to integrate Medikorp?
The timeline depends on your platform and systems. We set it with you in the technical assessment, before we start.
Is it compatible with my electronic health record?
Compatibility is confirmed in the technical assessment, where we review your EHR or EMR system and define the API integration.
