To drive this vision forward, we are leveraging our position as a key player in the digital health space by forming strategic partnerships with governmental bodies, private healthcare providers, and industry innovators.

We showcased our state-of-the-art cloud infrastructure and smart solutions designed to create a more connected and efficient healthcare ecosystem, bridging the gap between public health initiatives and private sector capabilities.

Our participation was focused on highlighting how these technologies can address critical challenges in healthcare delivery, particularly in emerging markets, while offering compelling value propositions for private healthcare providers. We emphasized how our solutions can improve patient outcomes, streamline operations for healthcare providers across sectors, and support the overall digitalization of health services.

How do you believe the smart clinic concept can contribute to the development of medical tourism in the region?

The smart clinic concept holds significant potential to enhance medical tourism in the region. By integrating advanced technologies and streamlined processes, smart clinics can offer world-class healthcare experiences that attract international patients. These facilities provide seamless, digitally-enabled services, from pre-arrival consultations to post-treatment follow-ups, making the entire medical journey more accessible and appealing to global health consumers. The data-driven approach of smart clinics allows for personalized care and improved outcomes, further boosting the region’s reputation as a medical tourism destination. By connecting innovative solutions with healthcare providers, we are building a robust infrastructure that can support and expand the medical tourism sector.

 

How did the collaboration between eHealth and Doctory come about? What were the shared objectives for developing the smart clinic concept?

The collaboration between eHealth and Doctory was born out of a shared vision to advance healthcare through technology, with a particular focus on enhancing national health tourism. Both entities recognized the potential of combining eHealth’s digital expertise with Doctory’s healthcare insights to create a truly innovative smart clinic concept.

Our joint objective is to develop a model that not only improves healthcare delivery efficiency but also positions our region as a leader in health tourism. 

This partnership aims to create a blueprint for modern healthcare facilities that can be scaled and replicated, ultimately contributing to the national health tourism strategy and setting new standards for patient care and experience.

What role does the smart clinic play in activating digital health in the region?

The smart clinic plays a pivotal role in advancing digital health in the region by serving as a proof of concept for integrated, technology-driven healthcare. It demonstrates how various digital health technologies – from electronic health records to telemedicine and AI-assisted diagnostics – can work together in a real-world setting. This model clinic acts as both an inspiration and a learning platform for other healthcare providers, encouraging broader adoption of digital health solutions. Moreover, it serves as a catalyst for further innovation in the sector, attracting investments and talent to the digital health ecosystem. By showcasing the tangible benefits of digital health integration, the smart clinic concept is accelerating the region’s journey towards a fully digitalized and interconnected healthcare system.
