Arab Health which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre, 30 January-2 February 2023, aims to be a showcase of the latest advances in healthcare technology and innovation, say organisers. The show will also see the launch of the Intelligent Health Pavilion and the return of the Future Health Summit, in partnership with the Intelligent Health Association. The Summit takes place at the Museum of the Future and will explore healthcare in the metaverse.
Located in Arab Health’s Healthcare Transformation sector, the Intelligent Health Pavilion will feature three demonstration rooms showcasing several new technologies through live demonstrations, including a groundbreaking digital Intensive Care Unit, an intelligent Operating Room, and a revolutionary Emergency Room.
The new feature will also have a seminar theatre and provide a platform for exhibitors to reveal the latest cutting-edge healthcare technology.
Ross Williams, exhibition director for Informa Markets, said: “The healthcare industry has witnessed incredible changes in recent years, with technology and innovation the driving force behind how the industry is elevating patient care. These latest advancements are expected to increase further by utilising the metaverse and looking at how we interact with technology to utilise artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) to improve patient outcomes.”
According to a report titled Healthcare in the metaverse from Market Research Future, the healthcare metaverse market is predicted to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 48.3% until 2030, with the industry’s value expected to top US$5.37bn.
“The metaverse is expected to disrupt healthcare and open new channels of treatment while lowering costs. The predicted growth within this market is huge, and we’ve only explored the tip of the iceberg. The Future Health Summit will provide an invaluable look at how everyone in the healthcare industry can maximise what it offers,” Williams added.
This year Arab Health will see the return of popular start-up competition, Innov8 Talks, which will feature 24 companies showcasing unique and innovative solutions. At the same time, the Transformation Talks and Start-Up Zone will also explore the latest tech advancements from global innovators and disruptors.
The event will be supported by government entities, including the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention, the Government of Dubai, the Dubai Health Authority, the Department of Health, and the Dubai Healthcare City Authority.
