Resumen
La presente tesis propone la implementación de Care Connect, una clínica de salud
mental en Lima Metropolitana que integra terapias psicológicas tradicionales con tecnologías
innovadoras como la realidad virtual (RV) y la inteligencia artificial (IA). Esta propuesta
responde a la creciente demanda de tratamientos más eficaces, personalizados y accesibles. El
modelo de negocio se enfoca en un segmento de mercado conformado por los niveles
socioeconómicos (NSE) A y B, un enfoque validado mediante encuestas a 382 personas y un
focus group con profesionales del sector corporativo. Los resultados evidencian una alta
aceptación de las terapias asistidas por tecnología, así como una preferencia por servicios
innovadores, empáticos y con resultados medibles.
Care Connect ofrecerá terapias de exposición en entornos virtuales controlados,
seguimiento clínico automatizado con IA y reportes personalizados. Se contempla una sede
piloto en Miraflores, equipada con equipos de RV, sensores biométricos y una plataforma ERP
integrada. Se proyecta una segunda sede en Surco en el tercer año.
El análisis financiero proyecta un VAN de S/10.3 millones y una TIR del 97 %,
estimando una recuperación de la inversión en menos de tres años. La relación LTV/CAC es
de 10.7, lo cual valida la rentabilidad del modelo. Adicionalmente, el proyecto generaría un
impacto social positivo —reflejado en un VAN social de S/11.7 millones— al facilitar la
reinserción laboral de los pacientes y contribuir a la reducción del estigma asociado a los
trastornos de salud mental.
El proyecto Care Connect se alinea con los ODS 3, 8 y 9, al promover el bienestar, el
trabajo decente y la innovación. La propuesta destaca por ser deseable, factible y
financieramente viable, con sólidos fundamentos en evidencia clínica y análisis de mercado.
Finalmente, su diseño escalable y su enfoque sostenible le confieren un alto potencial de
expansión, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional.
This thesis proposes the implementation of Care Connect, a mental health clinic in Metropolitan Lima that integrates traditional psychological therapies with disruptive technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI). This solution responds to the growing demand for more effective, personalized, and accessible treatments. The business model focuses on a market segment consisting of socioeconomic status (SES) A and B, validated through surveys of 382 people and a focus group with professionals from the corporate sector. The results show a high acceptance of technology-assisted therapies and a preference for innovative, empathetic services with visible results. Care Connect will offer exposure therapies in controlled virtual environments, automated clinical follow-up with AI, and personalized reporting. A pilot site is planned in Miraflores, equipped with VR equipment, biometric sensors, and an integrated ERP platform. A second site in Surco is planned for the third year. The financial analysis projects an NPV of S/10.3 million and an IRR of 97%, with a return on investment in less than three years. The LTV/CAC ratio is 10.7, confirming the model's profitability. Furthermore, the project generates a positive social impact, with a social NPV of S/11.7 million, by facilitating the reintegration of patients into the workforce and reducing the stigma associated with mental health. Care Connect aligns with SDGs 3, 8, and 9, promoting well-being, skilled employment, and technological innovation. The proposal stands out for its desirability, feasibility, and financial viability, with solid foundations in clinical evidence and market analysis. Furthermore, its scalable design and sustainable approach give it high potential for national and international expansion.
