Released ahead of the Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos, the paper, entitled A New Era for Digital Health: Abu Dhabi’s Leap to Health Intelligence, outlines how Abu Dhabi has integrated clinical, genomic, financial, lifestyle and environmental data into its unified health system architecture. This approach supports earlier disease prevention, faster clinical intervention and improved population health outcomes, while strengthening long-term system sustainability.
The paper notes that despite significant global investment in digital health, many health systems continue to face challenges in scaling innovation due to fragmentation, limited interoperability and lack of system-wide intelligence.
The report highlights several indicators demonstrating the scale and impact of Abu Dhabi’s intelligent health system, including the integration of more than 100,000 data streams, the connection of 3.5 billion clinical records across over 3,000 healthcare facilities, and the analysis of 2 billion insurance claim activities using artificial intelligence to reduce waste and improve efficiency. It also references the sequencing of more than 850,000 genomes as part of the Emirati Genome Programme, positioning Abu Dhabi among the world’s leading national genomic programmes.
