Digital health and AI empower patients and physicians toward longevity
Artificial intelligence and digital health are playing transformative roles in the way health care is delivered in Abu Dhabi while improving patient care. And as the UAE capital puts itself front and centre of this digital age revolution, Abu Dhabi Global Health Week has again placed that progress in the spotlight. On the sidelines of the second health week, Ibrahim Al Jallaf, executive director of digital health at the Department of Health Abu Dhabi, revealed how Abu Dhabi's embracing of and taking forward the potential impact of AI and digital health was already bringing results. He defined digital health as the application of digital analytics and AI into the healthcare space and said it should complement and build 'on top of the existing system'. While AI is potentially impacting almost every aspect of human life, Mr Al Jallaf said that within the healthcare segment is where the effects could perhaps be felt most potently. 'AI has been there for quite a few years. However, more recently it's spiked in terms of prevalence and use, and that's the real game changer,' he told The National. 'The question that we're being asked quite a bit is how can AI positively impact healthcare. And the biggest benefit we're seeing is on enabling the shift from healthcare to health; how do we improve the healthy average life expectancy of the population?' 'Now, with artificial intelligence, we're starting to see a lot of solutions drive towards that, which is very impactful.' Mr Al Jallaf explained that everything done in digital health anchors on pillars such as whether it will drive a healthy population and improve healthy average life expectancy, improve accessibility or quality of care, and drive a resilient, innovative healthcare system that can handle future shocks, such as Covid, alongside long-term healthcare system sustainability. 'We look globally for advancements, and over the past few years, AI has become a lot more relevant,' he said. 'So where we find success cases and potential for innovation, we bring them to the UAE, and we grow some of them out of the UAE to then drive a healthier population.' Some innovations are experienced daily, while the impact of medical advances may be seen in the long term with better life quality and expectancy. 'The advantage of digital products and artificial intelligence, typically, is in scaling,' Mr Al Jallaf said. 'The opportunity to scale to millions, population-wide, and have scaled impact is where digital products and AI really kicks into gear and becomes extremely powerful. Our priority is the population, and the way to benefit the entire population is through these channels.' He gives the Sahatna app - 'our gateway to health' - as an example, as every Abu Dhabi individual has access. During Abu Dhabi Global Health Week, the DoH revealed Sahatna AI. 'It's a large language model with medical guardrails, fine-tuned for medical responses. It's all in-country, dealt with at the highest levels of patient privacy…connected to Malaffi, your health information exchange, and you can ask anything.' A user can, for example, check what medication they have been prescribed and why, simplifying the process of understanding. 'One of the things in Sahatna we're very passionate about is building out a significant wellness module, with the objective of improving the healthy average life expectancy,' Mr Al Jallaf continued. 'The focus is on the next best action for you as an individual to extend your lifespan. This really becomes your tailored health guide. And we don't just leave it at the patient level. We want to complement the ecosystem.' 'It's brilliant that the population is able to see this - giving a bit more control and oversight over their health care is important.' He explained that Malaffi is connected to all hospitals and clinics, so they all have 360-degree patient health records. 'They can ensure that they take the best care of you…that's incredible impact in action. Now, your physician and you both have the same 360-degree record, giving the patient more control, but also empowering the physician. This connected ecosystem has enabled us to do so much more.' This also better optimises the use of time and resources and can give a patient answers about a health issue without necessarily leaving home for a clinic waiting room, thereby improving care accessibility. 'How do you optimise population and patient experience? This is what we're seeing. And the benefits only increase from here,' said Mr Al Jallaf, expanding on how AI and digital fit in. 'It's a lot of AI-assisted care. We've rolled out numerous AI use cases and digital products to physicians. ' 'We have the patient risk profile, over 14 AI risk models. Each covers the probability of an individual getting a condition, such as diabetes or breast cancer, all based on their entire medical health record. 'In the AI models, there is explainability; if the physician clicks on it, they can see the different visits and lab test results this patient went through and they can then incorporate that into their care plans. 'This is live across 100 per cent of hospitals and clinics in Abu Dhabi, with over 70 per cent of physicians as active users. This is impact…and we're seeing a lot of success cases.' Some of the consequences of earlier work in the digital space are also being felt. Mr Al Jallaf said it will become more 'exponentially evident' but that health officials were already seeing positive changes in population health metrics and quality of care. 'Now the question is, how much further? The Department of Health will always strive to push the bar; the reality is, this is people's health care…the bar is always higher. There is no 'good enough' healthy average life expectancy, no 'good enough' quality of care, so we consistently strive to push the bar.' 'The obsession we have is, how do you drive the right impact? This is where we search the world for impact cases, because we're obsessed with success. 'We want to make sure all the initiatives and projects we do drive an increase in healthy average life expectancy, an increase in best class care, so we have conversations based on what's been successful and what we could do successfully. Which set of projects can we do to drive the highest impact?' Hosting an event such as Abu Dhabi Global Health Week enables collaboration and information sharing to take the broader health agenda forward, said Mr Al Jallaf. 'We consider ourselves one of the globally leading governments in health tech. There are other global health leaders that inspire us, and we leverage opportunities such as Abu Dhabi Global Health Week to spark these conversations. 'The fact that we have some great examples of impact puts us on the table to spark even greater conversations, because they see inspirational stories come out of us, and they bring their own inspirational stories. 'So we're now having conversations that are incredibly impactful because some other global leaders are excited to have a conversation with us, which only sparks further innovation. 'We're constantly looking for the next best innovation to move the needle on.' Mr Al Jallaf said that Abu Dhabi Global Health Week also gave exposure to new apps, AI use cases, and concepts that can be related to the UAE. 'The global perspective from leading AI experts is that healthcare is one of the fundamental sectors that will experience a significant amount of benefit from AI,' he added. 'The level of conversation and the excitement I hear from different leaders in healthcare is very strong. When you tell a leading health expert that they can improve the lives of a million people, the inspiration and the excitement are unlimited.'

UAE's gym of the future: AI to guide on fitness, nutrition via a digital twin
Ever wondered how gyms will look like in the future? If you think gyms will be exempt from the AI takeover, think again. The Department of Health, Abu Dhabi has introduced a new initiative called the 'Gym of the Future', reimagining how personalized health and fitness could evolve. This digital welness concept was unveiled on the first day of Abu Dhabi Global Health Week on Tuesday. 'How do we enable people to live longer, healthier lives? How do we ensure that people, once they reach even an older age, they're still able to do more? That's the concept of the 'Gym of the Future,'' Ibrahim Al Jallaf, executive director of digital health at the Department of Health, Abu Dhabi told Khaleej Times. The experience begins the moment someone enters the gym. Advanced sensors recognize the individual and generate a digital twin using data from the 'Sahatna' app, Abu Dhabi's health and wellness management platform. This digital profile allows the system to create a tailored exercise plan based on each person's needs and health data. Once the plan is ready, users start their workout. For instance, a treadmill in this future gym comes equipped with a fixed camera to monitor BPM (beats per minute), recommends the activity's duration, and even postures alignment and offers real-time feedback. All data is stored in the 'Sahatna' app to keep tracking logs. After the workout, users undergo an evaluation to check for muscle or tendon strain using AI-assisted X-rays and CT scans. By simply standing in front of a scanner, individuals can view real-time imaging of specific body parts, like calves or hands, with instant analysis to detect potential issues. Nutrition is next. An AI nutritionist provides personalised meal recommendations based on previous data and current energy needs. This feature aims to optimize recovery and performance, one meal at a time. Finally, the journey ends with a second evaluation, an updated overview that incorporates the latest data from that day's session, completing the personalized loop. Al Jallaf added, 'Longevity is a priority across the board. And when we say gym of the future, we don't necessarily mean physical gym of the future. It's a concept of how to drive more healthy activity. How do we even improve nutrition across the board? All of these are key anchors for longevity and healthy average life expectancy.'

As part of the event, a global award will honour the top pioneering healthcare initiatives from a pool of more than 90 entries that the DoH received, Al Ghaithi said. Boosting collaboration in the sector, ADGHW will also see the signing of more than 15 memoranda of understanding, aiming to redefine health and well-being through impactful to Aletihad, Ibrahim Al Jallaf, Executive Director of Digital Health, said this health week serves as a platform for shaping future health policies through collaboration with global experts, the community, and the population. Policy drafting in Abu Dhabi is a collective effort, ensuring that policies are impactful and informed by international best practices, he said. Focusing the discussions on longevity shifts priorities from reactive to proactive healthcare, Al Jallaf said. Initiatives like AI-powered risk models - which predict health conditions such as diabetes - allow for early interventions to prevent chronic illnesses. Additionally, advanced AI medical imaging helps radiologists provide better care by highlighting conditions that may not be visible to the naked eye. These efforts are designed to enhance health outcomes and promote longevity at both individual and community levels, Al Jallaf added. Importance of Early Intervention Dr. Asma Al Mannaei, Executive Director of the Health Life Sciences Sector at the DoH, emphasised the importance of early intervention, precision medicine, and addressing global health challenges like childhood obesity.
