Global Experts Discuss AI's Role in Healthcare & Genomics ai Ai Everything News Desk - 18/02/2025 ShareAi Everything Global 2025, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre in collaboration with GITEX GLOBAL, showcased how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the healthcare and genomics sectors, driving efficiencies and revolutionizing patient care. The event highlighted AI's potential in addressing key challenges in genomics, such as predicting hidden patterns in complex data sets, which enables more precise diagnoses and treatments.AI is rapidly shifting healthcare from reactive treatments to proactive early detection, as explained by Paul Jones, CEO of BioPharma Solutions, AI Life Sciences at M42. He emphasized the importance of uncovering the remaining 99% of genomics data, stating that AI plays a crucial role in early detection and prevention, reshaping health and care systems. Prof. Alireza Haghighi, Chief Executive of the Harvard Medical School International Center for Genetic Disease, also shared his insights, pointing to AI's power in predictive capabilities and its role in informing policy and data-driven decision-making in genomics.The UAE's Emirati Genome Programme, which recently achieved the collection of 500,000 genetic samples, is pioneering personalized healthcare solutions tailored to the Emirati population. Prof. Haghighi highlighted that global collaboration is essential in addressing healthcare gaps, noting that 4.5 billion people still lack access to essential services. He stressed the need for data exchange across healthcare systems to accelerate breakthroughs in genomics, improve treatments, and ensure health advancements are accessible worldwide.In addition to advancements in genomics, Ai Everything Global also showcased groundbreaking innovations in medical robotics, including spider-inspired microrobots designed to extract dead or infected cells with precision. This AI-powered solution could revolutionize surgical practices, offering a sustainable, minimally invasive alternative to traditional tools while minimizing tissue damage and reducing recovery time. Dr. Hemachandran Kannan from Woxsen University explained how integrating AI-driven control systems with bioengineered structures enhances the precision of robotic-assisted surgeries, setting the stage for future AI-driven medical advancements.The global AI healthcare market is expected to reach USD $164 billion by 2030, emphasizing AI's growing role in transforming patient care and healthcare operations. Ai Everything Global continues to serve as a platform for global conversations on AI and digital health, bringing together tech enterprises, pioneering startups, and government officials to shape the future of healthcare. Following this momentum, the GITEX DIGI_HEALTH 5.0 Expo-Summit in Thailand (September 2025) and GITEX GLOBAL in the UAE (October 2025) will further explore advancements in AI and digital health, accelerating the global transformation in these sectors.Looking ahead to 2026, Ai Everything Global will return to Abu Dhabi, strengthening the UAE's position as a leader in AI innovation.

Suhail rising soon in UAE: How to spot the star that heralds cooler days
21 Aug 2025 23:07 MAYS IBRAHIM (ABU DHABI)As August winds down, the bright star Suhail - known internationally as Canopus - is set to make its seasonal return to the UAE centuries, people in the region relied on its rise to signal the transition from summer's scorching heat to milder autumn about 310 light-years from Earth in the Carina constellation, Suhail is the second brightest star in the night sky after Sirius. The star is celebrated in Emirati poetry and folklore as a symbol of relief after hardship. 'Suhail has always been more than just a star for people in this region,' Khadijah Hasan Ahmad, Operations Manager at Dubai Astronomy Group, told Aletihad . 'For Bedouins and sailors, it was a guide, both in navigation and in timing their lives.'Its rise historically signalled the start of new seasonal activities like pearl diving, farming, and travel. How to Spot Suhail Ahmad explained that Suhail first becomes visible in the UAE around August 24–26 in the dawn hours just above the southeastern horizon, rising slightly earlier and higher with each can be spotted across the southern parts of the Arabian Peninsula and other regions in the southern Suhail rises extremely low on the southern horizon, so today's urban lights and haze in the atmosphere make it almost impossible to see clearly on those dates, Ahmad estimates that the best chance to spot Suhail after its first official rising is typically from September 8 onwards, around 4:57am under clear sky conditions.'And yes, it is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye without telescopes, just clear sky.'Once visible, the star remains in the sky throughout autumn and winter before fading near the sun's glare in late winter or early spring. A Celestial Coincidence While Suhail itself doesn't change the weather, its appearance coincides with the natural transition from peak summer to more moderate temperatures and shifting seasonal winds, offering a natural cue for generations.'What actually happens is that by the time Suhail becomes visible in late August, the Earth's tilt and orbit are moving the region gradually out of the most direct summer sun,' Ahmad explained.'This change in the Sun's path across the sky leads to shorter days, a drop in solar intensity, and eventually cooler temperatures. The timing of Suhail's appearance lined up so consistently with this natural seasonal shift that it became a trusted calendar star for generations.' Weather Forecast In the coming four days, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) predicts the UAE will see partly cloudy skies at times, with occasional cloud covering over eastern and southern areas. Winds will be light to moderate, occasionally gusting up to 35kmph, causing some blowing dust. Seas in the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea are expected to remain along the coast will range between 28°C at night and up to 45°C during the day, with humidity varying from 30% to 85%. Inland areas are expected to be hotter, reaching up to 47°C, with lower humidity, while mountain regions will be slightly cooler, with highs around 36°C and relatively high humidity levels. In Abu Dhabi specifically, daytime temperatures are expected to hover between 41°C and 44°C, dropping to 32–34°C at night.
