"Health Tracker" is a cross-border medical platform developed by VML, Elea Laboratories and the Mundo Sano Foundation to address a critical challenge: tracking pregnancies across the tri-border regions between Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay that do not share a healthcare system but have mobile populations that cross borders. The platform collects, stores and analyzes pregnancy data, making it accessible to any authorized doctor, anywhere, and builds real-time health profiles that go beyond record keeping to predict risks and enable early interventions.

In Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay, "Health Tracker" is revolutionizing healthcare for those in need.
In the tri-border area between Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay, some of the world’s oldest migratory communities live without access to consistent healthcare. Their constant movement across borders means they lack unified medical records, which disproportionately affects pregnant women vulnerable to diseases like Chagas, a mother-to-child transmitted disease that can be fatal without proper monitoring and treatment.
"Health Tracker" was developed as a platform for doctors to collect, analyze and store medical information for pregnant women in these migratory communities. The platform maintains patient privacy while making critical health data accessible to healthcare professionals across borders.
"Health Tracker" combines geolocation, pregnancy stage, preexisting conditions and migration patterns to create personalized health profiles for expectant mothers. These profiles predict risks, approximate patient locations and send alerts to nearby doctors, ensuring timely medical intervention. By addressing the specific health needs of these communities, the platform respects their culture while providing life-saving care.
After three years of development, "Health Tracker" now assists 90% of pregnant women in the tri-border region. In 2024 alone, it monitored 2,357 pregnancies, including 95 high-risk cases, and successfully detected and prevented 144 cases of Chagas from being transmitted from mother to child. This regional solution has the potential to scale globally, offering a model for delivering healthcare to complex, underserved communities worldwide.
