LataMed AI Corp. (OTC: LMED), a development-stage digital health and artificial intelligence technology company, announced today that it has initiated an operational, technical, and commercial evaluation process to support a potential integration of installment-based healthcare payment capabilities through Cashea, one of Venezuela's leading buy-now-pay-later financial technology platforms. The proposed initiative is designed to evaluate ways to reduce upfront financial barriers for patients seeking access to private healthcare services, consultations, diagnostics, wellness programs, and other eligible healthcare offerings through the LataMed AI ecosystem.
Management believes that improving payment accessibility may support greater patient engagement, increased healthcare utilization, stronger platform adoption, and broader access to private healthcare services. By addressing affordability challenges, the Company believes it can further strengthen its position as a technology-enabled healthcare marketplace serving patients, providers, and healthcare partners throughout Latin America. The Company expects that a potential Cashea-related payment integration, if successfully completed, could support LataMed AI's broader strategy of combining artificial intelligence, telehealth infrastructure, care coordination tools, and digital payment accessibility to create a more scalable healthcare marketplace for patients and providers.
Dr. Kevin Rodan Levy, Chief Executive Officer of LataMed AI Corp., stated: "We believe financial accessibility is a critical component of healthcare delivery. Our objective is to evaluate solutions that may help patients obtain timely medical care while simultaneously expanding the reach and utility of our healthcare ecosystem. We believe initiatives such as this have the potential to strengthen patient acquisition, improve engagement, and support long-term platform growth."
The Company has not entered into a definitive commercial agreement related to this initiative as of the date of this release. Completion of any integration remains subject to further commercial discussions, technical implementation requirements, regulatory review, and customary business conditions. LataMed AI intends to provide additional updates as material developments occur.

This evaluation marks a strategic move to address the financial barriers that often prevent patients in emerging markets from accessing timely medical care. By leveraging the popularity of buy-now-pay-later services in Latin America, LataMed AI could potentially increase patient engagement and platform adoption, while helping providers improve revenue cycles. The initiative underscores the growing trend of integrating fintech solutions with healthcare to make services more affordable and widely accessible. However, the company cautioned that no definitive agreement has been reached, and the integration remains subject to negotiations and regulatory approvals.
