About
A new company on an old principle
Andreas Vesalius was created to make the data of Latin American health systems available for research, under governance, without moving a single identified record. It begins with an integrated health group in Argentina.
The company
Andreas Vesalius
A Delaware limited liability company founded by an integrated health group in Argentina. The company anonymises, structures and licenses access to real-world health data from Latin American health systems, beginning with the group’s own payer and provider. It is in pre-launch and working with a first set of pharma, CRO and health-system partners. Operations and data remain in the country of origin; the United States entity holds the commercial relationships.
The group
The group
An integrated health group in Argentina that brings together a private payer and a high-complexity provider. That integration is the origin of the evidence: the same patient, seen from the claim to the discharge.
The payer
A private health insurer with 400,000 members. Source of the financial layer: authorisations, claims, plan periods and real costs.
The hospital
A high-complexity hospital in Buenos Aires that sees around 1,000 patients a day, with more than 3,000 deliveries and about 1,700 critical-care patients a year. Source of the primary clinical layer.
About the name
Why Vesalius
Andreas Vesalius (Brussels, 1514 – Zakynthos, 1564) was a Flemish anatomist, professor at Padua at twenty-three and later physician to Charles V and Philip II. In 1543 he published De humani corporis fabrica libri septem, printed in Basel by Oporinus with woodcuts attributed to the workshop of Titian.
For more than a thousand years anatomy had been taught by reading Galen aloud while a barber-surgeon cut. Vesalius dissected with his own hands and drew what he saw. In doing so he corrected hundreds of errors that had been repeated for thirteen centuries on the strength of authority.
That is the principle we borrow. Health decisions are still too often made on assumptions, reference tariffs and synthetic data. We prefer to observe the system directly, under rules that protect the people in it. The names of our products follow the same thread: Fabrica is the data platform, Tabulae the catalogue, Theatrum the environment where the work is done, after the anatomical theatre of Padua.
