Andre graduated in Business Administration and MBA in marketing and has very extensive experience in commercial, marketing, sales and business development management positions in medium and large national and international service organizations.
Andre has a very solid knowledge of international relations, product development, strategic planning and business unit management.
Andre worked in several education and consulting projects aimed at entrepreneurs and small businesses. He developed and implemented business process restructuring projects in large companies.
Andre worked in technology-based companies, mainly IBM partners.
Technology has enabled everything to be effectively managed, time-efficient, and cost-effective. Entrepreneurs conceive both odd and sensible ideas for clients, thereby helping clients expand in terms of profit, revenue, and market share.
Technopreneurship is essential for any entrepreneur seeking improvisation for their clients to be engaging successfully. Technopreneurship leads by developing or inventing new products and new methods.
Technopreneurship is a combination of the words ‘technology’ and ‘entrepreneurship’. It is a type of technology-related entrepreneurship. However, unlike entrepreneurship which may often be a one-person show, it requires tech-savvy, creative, imaginative people who can take on a calculated risk.
A technopreneur in today’s world starts their business with little more than a brainstorming notion. They examine current methods and consider some fresh ideas for doing things differently. Therefore, technopreneurship involves the creation of a product or solution that employs technology solutions to transform the way people do things in a traditional method.
To be successful, a technopreneur must frequently go above and beyond. Any innovative idea might seem appealing, but the execution is what counts. Any technopreneur must be willing to venture into unexplored territory and persevere.
Andre is very excited about the possibility of improving the patient journey and reducing costs for public and private healthcare systems, through AI-based solutions, Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing.
Andre is leading IAssist in developing AI driven IAssist - Medical Assistant, a multiplatform application which suggests a possible cancer diagnosis to the doctor providing care to the patient.
Based on Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing, IAssist helps fighting cancer with early diagnosis. They help doctors identify cancer risk in patients, enabling greater treatment efficiency, better quality of life and cost reduction.
IAssist Medical Assistant is a multiplatform application for use stand alone or embedded in a digital health platform.
Andre is currently based in São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.

The 20-year veteran of the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) eventually rose to the rank of Chief Airforce Medical Officer, pioneering the field of aviation medicine. “It’s a medical specialty that combines aspects of preventive, occupational, environmental and clinical medicine with the physiology and psychology of the man in flight,” he says.
“I was the second doctor in regular service at that time.”

“After 17 years there, I joined The Farrer Park Company.” In 2017, Farrer Park Hospital’s CEO stepped away from the role.
Dr Peng’s many hats – a team leader, corporate business veteran and trained medical professional – made him the ideal candidate. “I thought an integrated hospitality-cum-medical complex sounded exciting and refreshing,” he says.
Situated in the Situated in the Singapore suburb with which it shares its name, Farrer Park Hospital specialises in both acute clinical care and chronic condition management.
Dr Peng says the hospital’s concept – a multidisciplinary specialty facility with an adjoining medical centre integrated into a luxury hotel – is a stand-out in the field.
“These were evolved by our board over time to make sure we’re more than just another hospital,” he explains. Farrer Park Hospital’s chassis is Connexion, a 20-storey building that includes food and retail stores, a spa and a hotel.
“Environmental sustainability has been in our DNA since our inception,” Dr Peng says. “Connexion’s management actively monitors energy and water consumption and pursues opportunities to lower its carbon footprint.”
The infrastructure is also flexible; at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the hotel was converted into medical rooms for patients recovering from the virus. “At the same time, we were able to provide healthcare support training to our hotel staff before deploying them to assist our nurses in the care of these patients.”

I climbed up through a hole in the clouds and I saw an extraordinary and epic sight. It looked like I was looking down a valley with mountains on either side, but everything was made of clouds. The sun was shining right down the middle. I knew then that I wanted to share that same experience with everyone."

VIRTUALLY HUMAN
Digital Humans made easy.
Driven by passion about the new possibilities of blending human characteristics with the power of technology,
Virtually Human is the full-service partner for Digital Human solutions.
A digital human is an avatar capable of showing facial expressions and body language, focused on emotion and empathy. Running on top of conversational systems like chatbots, digital humans can respond in an appropriate non-verbal way that is aligned with the topic and sentiment of the conversation.
This makes Digital Humans a very powerful tool that open up an additional layer of emotional connection with your customers. This emotional connection allows you to influence the most important part of communication that cannot be achieved with words alone. The feeling and trust that are created will enhance the effectiveness of a dialog and enables you to leave an unprecedented impression of your brand, leading to higher sales and loyalty.
This customer experience goes far beyond what text-based systems can do and deeply touches on empathy and providing an authentic experience. People will feel less lonely when interacting with a digital human, or better understood, or are more easily persuaded, depending on their situation.
There is a high level of freedom to decide how your Digital Human will look. Things like gender, ethnicity, hair and eyes can often be modified while using an existing model, or you can build your digital human from scratch. Digital Humans are leveraging an underlaying conversational platform for Natural Language Understanding, Speech to Text and Text to Speech. This can be your existing solution like Google Dialogflow, AWS, Nuance Mix, Microsoft, or any preferred combination.
Virtually Human is an independent provider of Digital Human solutions. We support companies in their entire journey from designing to deploying a Digital Human. Whether for customer service, healthcare, retail or any other industry, Virtually Human can guide you from business case, to finding the best platform, to the actual deployment and optimisation of your Digital Human.
