In a pioneering step towards building a more proactive and intelligent health system, the Department of Health (DoH), the regulator of the healthcare sector in the emirate, launched the Population Health Intelligence (EH) platform at GITEX Global 2025, the world's largest event in the field of technology and artificial intelligence, currently being held in Dubai.

The platform is the first of its kind in the world to manage population health using artificial intelligence technologies, as it embodies a radical shift in healthcare philosophy, moving healthcare from a therapeutic focus to a proactive preventive approach, establishing Abu Dhabi as a leading innovation hub in the healthcare sector.The move is part of a strategic collaboration with Microsoft to establish Abu Dhabi's leading position as an incubator for innovation aimed at extending a healthy life expectancy and enhancing quality of life.
