At a joint platform run by the Ministry of Health and Prevention and Emirates Health Services, the six projects focused on clinical preparation, early disease detection, emergency response, health behaviour analysis and public participation in health policy.

AI support for consultations and imaging

Emirates Health Services presented the Smart Physician Assistant Agent, an AI-powered tool designed to conduct medical interviews with patients before their appointments. The system gathers patient information and prepares structured clinical summaries for physicians to review before consultations.

EHS also showcased an AI application for diagnostic imaging as part of its use of artificial intelligence in clinical practice. No details were provided on the conditions the technology is intended to detect.

The Itmenan Programme was among the projects displayed. The periodic health screening initiative is designed to support early identification of chronic diseases through regular screening.

Emergency readiness and population health data

Ghiath, a digital emergency, crisis and disaster management system, provides centralised data and real-time indicators on healthcare facilities' preparedness for emergencies. It also tracks the availability of critical resources, giving authorities access to information on healthcare readiness during crises.

MoHAP presented Baseera, an AI-powered Behavioral Insights Platform that analyses patterns in health behaviour. The ministry said the platform builds predictive models from factors affecting health behaviour and links population-health indicators with healthcare service data to help shape programmes around community needs.

The ministry also displayed its Health Policies and Legislation Smart Platform, which allows community members and experts to participate in developing and evaluating health policies and legislation.

Dr Yousif Mohamed Al Serkal, director general of Emirates Health Services, said healthcare systems need to anticipate risks, make informed decisions and maintain continuity of care during emergencies. He described the EHS projects as part of efforts to use AI and data in clinical practice, early disease detection and emergency management.

"The true value of these innovations lies in strengthening the links between prevention, care and institutional preparedness," Al Serkal said.
