PureHealth launches healthcare cloud to provide Digital Health as a Service

PureHealth, which is the largest healthcare platform in the Middle East, has launched a dedicated healthcare cloud to provide digital health as a service.

Called "PureNet," it was built on "advanced cloud computing technologies" to seamlessly connect existing and new healthcare service providers to streamline and digitize their operations with minimum investments.

How does it work?

PureNet offers solutions for every touchpoint of healthcare provision, from the digitization of patient record management and the streamlining of administrative tasks to providing insights for improved patient engagement and satisfaction. Its flexible, plug-and-play capabilities make it an easily adaptable solution for healthcare providers — integrating with enterprise solutions and third-party apps to facilitate data and knowledge exchanges.

The platform provides an open canvas for application developers to build and innovate, fostering an ecosystem of continuous improvement and accelerating the growth of healthcare providers by integrating multiple solutions.

Available to all healthcare providers, the first implementation is being carried out in Sheikh Khalifa Specialty Hospital, Ras Al Khaimah. The Healthcare Cloud is live and fully operational and new hospitals, clinics, labs and digital health platforms will utilize it not only in the UAE, but also globally.

Why does it matter?

The platform will drive operational efficiencies, enabling healthcare providers to deliver holistic, patient-centric care whilst reducing operational costs. PureNet is a one-stop solution for all healthcare providers, small, medium, or large, for cost-effective and instant access to manage their operational technology needs.

Aligned with the Forward Society pillar of the Emirates' national vision "We the UAE 2031" - PureNet represents a major milestone in digital healthcare transformation and PureHealth's commitment to raising the standards of healthcare excellence to further enhance patient care in the UAE and beyond.

On the record

"Today's healthcare ecosystem operates in siloes, with both patients and care providers heavily reliant on physical interactions. Now is the time to embrace the changing dynamics of today's fast-evolving healthcare sector and unlock the potential of 4IR technologies to bridge the gaps between medical teams, foster a connected healthcare ecosystem, and ensure that the needs of the patient always come first. PureNet is a tech-driven gateway to connected healthcare excellence which places patients at the heart of our operations," said Shaista Asif, Group COO at PureHealth. "By connecting our diverse healthcare services across our network, PureNet eliminates inefficiencies to improve operational excellence, and provides a holistic user experience across the entire healthcare ecosystem."
