- Atif Al Braiki: “By integrating AI and other advanced technologies in our day-to-day care, we are proud to be showcasing how we are constantly adapting to enhance patient outcomes.”
Dubai, UAE, October 15, 2024 – Dubai Health showcased its latest advancements in healthcare technology and innovation at GITEX, the biggest tech and startup show in the world. This year’s event theme centers on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) across various sectors, with a particular focus on AI in health.
Teaming up with the Dubai Digital pavilion, Dubai Health is offering visitors a 20-minute journey that showcases how the integrated academic health system’s latest technological solutions are enhancing patient care and operational efficiency.
One of the key highlights of Dubai Health’s exhibit is the use of virtual reality (VR) technology at its Thalassemia Center, a solution currently being studied by Dubai Health’s Innovation and Digital Health team. This study aims to alleviate anxiety and pain during cannulation procedures. Patients wear VR headsets, immersing them in a therapeutic 3D environment designed to enhance comfort and overall experience during the procedure. This innovative, first-of-its-kind approach has the potential to transform the experience for patients, aligning with Dubai Health’s objective to elevate the standard of care and its vision to advance health for humanity.
In addition, Dubai Health’s Innovation and Digital Health team is also conducting a validation study on wearable ambulatory blood pressure monitoring technology using a smartwatch. The study evaluates the accuracy and effectiveness of this technology in delivering continuous blood pressure measurements, presenting a more convenient alternative to traditional methods. These initiatives underscore Dubai Health’s ongoing efforts to incorporate advanced technology into healthcare to improve patient outcomes and streamline healthcare delivery.
Another project on display is the Ambient Clinical Documentation Solution, a tool designed to enhance clinical documentation efficiency by leveraging Generative AI. This solution enables clinicians to verbally document patient encounters, significantly reducing the time required for documentation. This allows clinicians to spend more time and provide better experience to our patients. The voice notes are processed by an AI-driven system that generates specialty-specific clinical notes, which clinicians then review and sign.
Atif Al Braiki, Chief Digital and AI Officer at Dubai Health, commented, “Our participation in GITEX 2024 underscores our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to transform healthcare delivery. By integrating AI and other advanced technologies in our day-to-day care, we are proud to be showcasing how we are constantly adapting to enhance patient outcomes, streamline operations, and set new standards in healthcare innovation. In line with our commitment to healthcare excellence, integrating these technologies will help us to realize our vision of advancing health for humanity.”
Dubai Health’s presence at GITEX 2024, being held at the Dubai World Centre, is a testament to its dedication to remaining at the forefront of the technological healthcare revolution, harnessing innovations to put the patient first.
