From Wearables to Well-being: New Service in Saudi Arabia Uses Data from Apps for Personalized Health Guidance
Saudi Arabia's Health Tech Incubator Graduates 1st Startup Batch
Riyadh: In a major push for digital health, Saudi Arabia's Deputy Health Minister, Abdulaziz Al-Rumaih, unveiled a two-pronged initiative on March 6th. This started with the launching of the Virtual Health Guide Service, which aims to empower citizens with personalized health guidance. Leveraging data from the 'SEHATY' app, 'NAFIS' health files, and wearable devices, the service will identify individuals at risk and connect them with virtual specialists for preventive care and disease management programs like weight control, early diabetes detection, and hypertension control. This data-driven approach is expected to improve early detection, increase life expectancy, and ultimately enhance the quality of life for all.
The second prong of the initiative is the graduation of the Health Tech Sandbox Incubator's first cohort. This program, overseen by the SEHA Virtual Hospital, is designed to be a breeding ground for innovation. By providing consulting, logistics, training, and a supportive environment, the Sandbox empowers promising digital health startups to flourish, further propelling the country's healthcare system into the future.
