Solenne Singer, Group Director for Informa Markets, said: “As a result of the coronavirus pandemic and the global health crisis, there has been a distinct shift in priorities with the focus now on implementing new technologies for better healthcare delivery.

“Digitalisation, blockchain and Big Data are growing in prominence, and according to our report, AI is the second most impactful area of tech overall, followed by robotics. 23% of those surveyed from the GCC placed a much higher priority for investment in this area of new technology.”

According to the report, funding was outlined as the most significant challenge public and private medical practices faced. This was also true of charities and non-profit organizations, creating the greatest barrier to implementing new technology.

When asked about emerging trends in the next 12 months, the number one response was value-based healthcare. This is when healthcare providers are rewarded for helping patients improve their health, reduce the effects and incidence of chronic disease, and live healthier lives in an evidence-based way. Almost half of all respondents placed this as the top forecasted trend.

A total of 61 countries were represented by exhibitors, which included 30 international pavilions.  

“The COVID-19 pandemic has affected every single member of the healthcare community, both personally and professionally.

The last edition of Arab Health and Medlab underscored this desire, and we now look forward to welcoming participants once again in 2022,” added Singer.
