AI health checks now available at UAE pharmacies

Getting a health check could soon be as simple as picking up a prescription. Al Ain Pharmacy has teamed up with The Life Corner to roll out AI-powered wellness screenings across selected pharmacy locations in the UAE.

The initiative transforms routine pharmacy visits into opportunities for preventive healthcare. Customers can now get quick health checks without appointments, measuring vital signs and screening for early indicators of chronic conditions.

How does it work?

Smart screening tools are embedded directly into pharmacy workflows. Customers can walk in for appointment-free checks that measure vital signs, assess general fitness, and look for early warning signs of chronic health conditions.

The AI technology works alongside existing pharmacy services. This means people can get health screenings while they collect prescriptions or shop for wellness products. The system is designed to be fast and user-friendly.

Why does it matter?

This shift moves healthcare from reactive to proactive. Instead of waiting until people feel sick, the technology catches potential health issues early when they are easier to treat.

"Our mission has always been to serve the community with the highest standards of care," said Dr. Ziad Amir Saleh, CEO of Al Ain Pharmacy Group. "This partnership allows us to make preventive health more accessible, more efficient, and more impactful."

The program also reduces pressure on hospitals and clinics by handling basic screening at the community level. This frees up medical professionals to focus on more complex cases.

The context

The Life Corner is a subsidiary of PureHealth and operates 82 pharmacies across the UAE. The company specializes in pharmacy management services for hospitals, clinics, and retail locations.

Al Ain Pharmacy has been serving UAE communities since 1976. The pharmacy chain has built a reputation for introducing innovative healthcare solutions over nearly five decades.

"We believe in healthcare that starts with the individual, accessible, proactive, and rooted in innovation," said Kinjal Zaveri, Chief Cluster Services Lead at PureHealth. The initiative supports the UAE's broader goals for sustainable healthcare and longevity.

This partnership represents a significant step toward integrating preventive care into everyday life across the UAE's pharmacy network.
