Rodrigo Paiva

I'm mapping a territory that doesn't yet have a name in the Portuguese-speaking world: the intersection of andragogy, artificial intelligence, and healthcare professional training.

I've been building educational products for adults for 20+ years. I led products and initiatives at Ibmec, Wide, Grupo Enfase, and Afya Educacional — projects that, together, have impacted more than 1 million people in training. Today I'm Product Director at a reference medical institution operating between Brazil and Portugal.

What makes the angle unique

Operator, not consultant. Daily practice inside a real medical institution. I have direct access to ENAMED, CFM, MEC, the TRI methodology, ProfiMed.

Brazil and Portugal, every day. I live in Lisbon and run products for the Brazilian market. I experience both Portuguese-speaking healthcare training systems simultaneously.

AI in practice, not in discourse. I build AI agents applied to adult learning while operating real EdTech products.

Why Andragotech · Health

In 2026 I started Andragotech: an independent publication on andragogy applied to healthcare professional training in the AI era.

The premise is simple: andragogy (the science of adult learning) is the right framework for discussing how healthcare-trained adults learn, decide, and update their competencies in a moment when AI has changed the rules. In Portuguese, with real institutional depth, no one was occupying that territory.

Articles, a monthly newsletter, and — soon — a community for professionals who live these decisions firsthand.
