The Department of Health – Abu Dhabi to launch an innovative Health App

On the sidelines of GITEX Global Week 2023, The Department of Health - Abu Dhabi (DoH) announced that it is set to "redefine the healthcare landscape" in Abu Dhabi with the upcoming release of an innovative Health App. Packed with cutting-edge features, the application is designed to empower residents with an efficient, convenient, and highly personalized healthcare experience.

This app marks a significant milestone in the Department of Health's ongoing commitment to enhancing the health and well-being of community members in Abu Dhabi. It signifies a move towards healthcare that is not only more accessible but also more personalized, convenient, and empowering.

How will it work?

As part of its continued efforts towards setting the stage for a future driven by healthcare technology and innovation, the application will offer users easy access to comprehensive health services in a quick and secure way.

Furthermore, when launched, the App will offer an array of remarkable features designed to simplify and enrich their healthcare experience.

On the record

"Today, the healthcare-patient experience can still be very fragmented, siloed, reactive with plenty of room for improvement. As part of the Department's efforts to enhance patient and healthcare outcomes, we look forward to the launch of the App which fits within our vision of putting patients at the centre of a streamlined, connected, holistic healthcare solution," said Ibrahim Al Jallaf, Division Director of Digital Health at the Department of Health - Abu Dhabi (DoH). "With the App, our residents can experience a new level of choice, quality assurance, and convenience in healthcare and enjoy access to personalised, high-quality healthcare in Abu Dhabi. We are excited to provide community members with the ability to be in better control over their health, while enabling healthcare providers to yield services efficiently."
