Resumen
Las desigualdades económicas existentes entre diversos sectores del país es una realidad. No
es de extrañar que la población de bajos recursos difícilmente pueda acceder a un servicio de
salud integral y de calidad, y que el desarrollo de la asistencia sanitaria, en cuanto a nuevas
tecnologías, es limitado. Uno de los problemas que sufren los servicios complementarios
privados de salud es que no cuentan con un plan ni con costos para implementar y mantener
una plataforma con la cual puedan a administrar los datos de sus pacientes en forma digital.
Y, más bien, continúan gastando recursos como papeles, tinta, entre otros, para almacenar
historiales médicos en archivadores.
La solución diseñada para resolver esta problemática se denomina Populab, una
plataforma virtual que busca simplificar la gestión y almacenar información, referente a la
salud de los ciudadanos peruanos pertenecientes a los niveles socioeconómicos C, D y E, a
través de tecnologías existentes en el mercado.
Durante el proceso de diseño, el prototipo fue probado en diferentes laboratorios de
análisis y centros de diagnóstico por imágenes ubicados en la ciudad de Lima, para dar con
una solución óptima que se adecúe a la correcta gestión y manejo por parte de múltiples
usuarios. Asimismo, se realizaron hipótesis respecto a la factibilidad de las proyecciones de
afiliación y ventas, en relación con el presupuesto comercial. Mediante la simulación de
Montecarlo, se ratificó que, bajo diferentes escenarios de variaciones en las ventas y el
presupuesto, el valor del proyecto se asemeja al esperado. Por último, se corroboró la
viabilidad financiera junto con la necesidad de inversión que tendría la plataforma, según los
diferentes escenarios de crecimiento nacional.
Por tanto, se concluye que Populab es un modelo de negocio innovador, porque en los
niveles socioeconómicos abordados los establecimientos de salud no cuentan con la
tecnología que facilite la gestión, el almacenamiento y la generación de historiales médicos digitales para pacientes. De igual manera, se considera como un modelo sostenible por estar
alineado a los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), que contribuyen con la salud y
conservación del medio ambiente. Igualmente, genera un valor financiero por el crecimiento
exponencial proyectado, basado en sus ventas, afiliación y mantenimiento de información
para usuarios directos (laboratorios de análisis clínicos y centros de diagnósticos por
imágenes) y usuarios finales (pacientes y médicos). Respecto al análisis financiero, se
proyecta un VAN de S/ 2´052,384 y una TIR de 118.65%, sin considerar el invaluable
impacto y beneficio social en la población, por lo que se recomienda llevar el proyecto a la
realidad aplicada en el Perú y planificar una posible expansión en países de la región.
The existing economic inequalities between various sectors of the country is a reality. It is not surprising that the low-income population hardly has access to a comprehensive and quality health service, and that the development of health care, in terms of new technologies, is limited. One of the problems that private complementary health services suffer is that they do not have a plan or costs to implement and maintain a platform with which they can manage their patients' data digitally. And, rather, they continue to spend resources such as paper, ink, among others, to store medical records in filing cabinets. The solution designed to solve this problem is called Populab, a virtual platform that seeks to simplify management and store information regarding the health of Peruvian citizens belonging to socioeconomic levels C, D and E, through existing technologies in the market. During the design process, the prototype was tested in different analysis laboratories and diagnostic imaging centers located in the city of Lima, to find an optimal solution that is suitable for correct management and handling by multiple users. Likewise, hypotheses were made regarding the feasibility of the projections of affiliation and sales, in relation to the commercial budget. Through the Montecarlo simulation, it was confirmed that, under different scenarios of variations in sales and the budget, the value of the project is similar to that expected. Finally, the financial viability was corroborated together with the need for investment that the platform would have, according to the different scenarios of national growth. Therefore, it is concluded that Populab is an innovative business model, because in the socioeconomic levels addressed, health establishments do not have the technology that facilitates the management, storage, and generation of digital medical records for patients. Similarly, it is considered a sustainable model because it is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which contribute to the health and conservation of the environment. Likewise, it generates a financial value due to the projected exponential growth, based on its sales, affiliation and maintenance of information for direct users (clinical analysis laboratories and diagnostic imaging centers) and end users (patients and doctors). Regarding the financial analysis, a NPV of S/ 2´052,384 and an IRR of 118.65% are projected, without considering the invaluable impact and social benefit on the population, for which it is recommended to bring the project to the applied reality in Peru and planning a possible expansion in countries of the region.
