Glya Salud SAS
Across Latin America, chronic disease care is often fragmented and hospital-centred, making it difficult for healthcare providers to monitor patients between appointments and intervene before complications occur.
A patient-centred model for chronic care
Glya Salud is transforming chronic disease management from a reactive, episodic model into a continuous, patient-centred care journey. Founded by Ximena Ruget Martínez, who built the company through determination, and a deep understanding of systemic barriers, Glya was created to democratise access to better chronic care across Latin America. Drawing on both global experience and local realities, the company helps healthcare institutions move beyond treating illness at the point of crisis and towards supporting patients every day.
Proactive care through real-time patient insights
Glya provides healthcare providers with real-time visibility into patients’ health between consultations, enabling earlier intervention, stronger treatment adherence, and more personalised care. Its platform combines proprietary IoT technology, AI-driven conversational agents, and predictive analytics to identify subtle changes in health patterns before they become emergencies.
Designed specifically for the realities of the Global South, Glya uses WhatsApp as its primary engagement channel, making it accessible to patients with limited digital literacy and increasing long-term participation. With the integration of patient data into clinical decision-making, Glya empowers both healthcare professionals and patients to take a more proactive approach to chronic disease management
