Diagnostikare is a healthcare technology company founded in 2019. The company offers a digital platform for virtual-first primary care in Mexico and Latin America.

Overview
Diagnostikare was founded in 2019 by two brothers, Rafael López, an Information Systems Engineer, and Rodrigo López, a Medical Doctor. Since its inception, Dr. Rodrigo López has been serving as the Medical Director and Rafael López as the Executive Director of the company. Diagnostikare has secured funding from several venture capital firms, such as StartUp Health, Builders VC, and Plug and Play Ventures.

The company provides a digital health platform for virtual-first primary care services, including health counseling, prescription fulfillment, lab test referrals, mental health support, and digital health empowerment tools through digital technology, artificial intelligence, and clinical service providers in Mexico and Latin America. Diagnostikare collaborates with employers and engages channel partners such as insurance companies, insurance brokers, and other service providers to provide comprehensive healthcare services to their employees, clients, and users respectively. In 2020, Diagnostikare launched a free application, TestCovid19.mx, a free application that employs an algorithm to analyze user-provided information across physical, nutritional, and psychological dimensions for triaging COVID cases. This data processing facilitates telehealth visits with doctors and psychologists.

Digital health contributions
In February 2021, Diagnostikare was part of a collaborative effort with more than 60 organizations, convened by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), to develop a new ANSI-accredited standard for trustworthy AI solutions in healthcare. This standard, ANSI/CTA-2090, addresses Human Trust, Technical Trust, and Regulatory Trust to ensure reliable and secure AI applications in the healthcare sector.
