Emirates Health Services taps Care.ai to use generative AI in patient room monitoring

Emirates Health Services (EHS) has tapped Care.ai to employ the company's generative AI technology in the application of patient room monitoring systems.

The move is part of EHS' efforts to further improve the standards of healthcare services in the country.

The two signed the MoU in an effort to strengthen strategic partnerships to leverage generative AI and implement the Care.ai system across EHS healthcare facilities to achieve better patient outcomes. Under the deal, the company's AI-enabled virtual care nursing platform will be implemented in emergency departments, operating rooms, intensive care units, neonatal units, and others.

The Care.ai platform will help classify patients based on several parameters, such as their mental well-being, while supporting medical staff for rapid response and completing all patient care protocols.

The system will also help with clinical decisions regarding the patient, further streamlining workflow procedures, increasing productivity, and assuring better patient experiences.

The service provider can also automate routine administrative tasks using Care.ai's platform, which will automatically track and monitor workflows and services using real-time data.

According to Dr. Mohammed Al Olama, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Emirates Health Services, the partnership with Care.ai will enhance patient monitoring and ensure the provision of safe and efficient healthcare services.

The MoU also includes Care.ai's "Smart Care Facility" platform, which harnesses diverse data sources to create advanced care strategies through AI algorithms.

By combining data from ambient sensors, biometric devices and health records (EHR) - Care.ai's platform can provide valuable insights about a patient's historical health trends, current conditions, in progress protocols, and can identify potential problems before they escalate. Moreover, it can also assist clinical teams with actionable recommendations, suggesting new patient care regimes, proposing innovative interventions, and even improving processes and workflows from accumulated data over time.

The platform also includes virtual care support, enabling new models of virtual care for better patient experiences.
