The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has a startup acceleration program and, this time, a Brazilian company was selected to participate in the initiative.
The technology startup called Munai, focused on health, was one of the 51 chosen worldwide. The main objective of this partnership is to develop a powerful tool for Artificial intelligence (AI), such as ChatGPT, which uses Large Language Models (LLM) technology.

The central idea of the partnership is to curb the excessive use of antibiotics, a global health problem, through the use of technology. Understand better below!
The proposal of the Brazilian startup is to create a model of virtual assistant powered by Artificial Intelligence that automates hospital protocols. This is done by combining OpenAI's advanced conversational GPT-4 technology with the clinical intelligence platform developed by Munai.
The intent is to support physicians in their clinical decisions by promoting the judicious use of antibiotics. The initiative aims to address three interconnected challenges: antimicrobial resistance (AMR), unnecessary use of antibiotics, and lack of adherence to Antimicrobial Management Programs (ASPs).
Founded in 2019 by Cristian Rocha and Hugo Morales, Munai already stands out in the market for its healthcare solutions that use AI to optimize pre- and post-consultation processes.
Selection for the program Gates Foundation will result in an investment of US$ 85,000, approximately R$ 400,000, helping to further boost its innovations.
Rocha stated, “Accurate data is key to AI and ChatGPT-based solutions. Munai holds over 15 million records and 6 million unique patients, giving us one of the most valuable databases in the industry.”
The startup is already in the middle of the data collection process, a crucial step for virtual assistant training. The goal is for the Artificial Intelligence engine to be able to accurately answer medical questions related to hospital protocols.
