Healthcare systems around the world are under increasing pressure to deliver high-quality and effective care to growing populations, But the aging population and the rise of chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes are driving up the demand for healthcare.

In the Middle East, 580 million people also face sharp increases in chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.

Here are some facts about diseases to Consider:

– The death rate from diabetes in the MENA region increased by 216% from 1990 to 2015, and the number of diabetes patients expected to increase by 110% to 82 million over the next 26 years.

– In 2015, Cardiovascular disease was responsible for 34% of all deaths in the middle eastern region.

The development in digital technology allows us to drive the transformation of healthcare, here are some technologies:

1- Artificial intelligence:

AI helps to improve the operational performance and efficiency of workflow, supports high quality and integrated clinical decision-making, empowers patients, and consumers to manage their health.

Artificial intelligence is not a singular technology but an umbrella term that includes many types of technologies:

1-Machine Learning:

This is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being programmed.

2-Machine vision:

This is the science of allowing the computer to see, this technology captures and analyzes visual information using cameras and digital signal process

3-Natural language process (NLP):

This is a process of human language by a computer program, one of the older and best-known examples of NPL is spam detection, in which a computer looks at the subject line or text of an email and decides if it’s Junk.

4- Robotics:

This field focuses on the design and manufacturing of robots, robots are often used to perform tasks that are difficult for humans to perform.

The evolution of adopting new technologies and evolving AI & IOMT techniques and solutions is increasing rapidly in the MENA. According to Arab Health 2020 conference, The value of the IoMT market in the MENA region is expected to be US$9 billion by 2022!

On the other hand, you have probably checked the United Arab Emirates (UAE) strategy for AI 2031, which reflects the extremely progressive adoption of new technology in the MENA Region.

On our side, we extremely encourage our clients to adopt the new Healthcare technologies in order to increase the quality of the medical services and enhancing their tools against diseases, especially chronic ones.

We also dream that the other middle eastern nations adopt the outstanding solutions that will soon become a must to have.
