The consultations are offered through an AI chatbox and a live question-and-answer session with the user. The app suggests an appropriate doctor for the user based on the symptoms and other pieces of information shared by the patient during the chat.

“DHA director general Humaid Al Qutami said that the authority aims to create an integrated global platform to generate economic value and support future businesses and technological solutions.”

Set to be available in Dubai over the coming months, the app has been upgraded with the cultural requirements of the region.

DHA also partnered with Health Care and Innovative New Technology (HiNT) on a neuro headband developed to identify a stroke within minutes.

The device is designed to notify the caregiver and the emergency services in minutes to avoid deterioration of the patient.
