Saudi Health Sector Is Expected To Experience Significant Economic Value Unlocking Through The Implementation Of AI.

Artificial intelligence is transforming Saudi Arabia's health-tech sector, potentially unlocking $15-27 billion in economic value by 2030 by automating up to 40% of healthcare tasks.

Saudi Arabia aims to become a regional technology hub, with the medical sector benefiting from digital transitions. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman emphasizes the potential of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things for global benefits.

Nadine Hachach-Haram, co-founder of Proximie, highlighted the transformative applications of AI in Saudi Arabia's healthcare sector, highlighting its potential to enhance patient safety, communication, and service efficiency.

Saudi Arabia is embracing AI and machine learning technologies to improve patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency. This aligns with the Saudi Health Sector Transformation Program, under Vision 2030. Proximie, a global healthcare platform, is playing a crucial role in the SEHA Virtual Hospital, overcoming geographical constraints, enhancing patient safety, and facilitating medical expertise sharing.

The SEHA Virtual Hospital in Egypt treats over 400,000 patients annually using AI and advanced imaging technologies. An example of this is the successful operation of Noura Saleh, 70, who required urgent surgery after stroke-induced heart failure. This demonstrates how distance no longer hinders timely care.
