UAE healthcare providers harness power of AI

head dubai April 28, 2023 No Comments

Technology can help to plan complex operations and keep patients out of hospital.

From holographic surgical planning for complex procedures to predictive tools to keep patients out of hospital, artificial intelligence is playing a growing role in health care.

Robots may never replicate the human touch or the bedside manner required in the care profession, but the technology is helping medics become more efficient with their time.

AI algorithms can analyse data to identify population health patterns and offer insights to improve patient care and outcomes.

Experts say that as Al and data analytics play a bigger role than ever, digitalisation has the potential to transform care.

“Digitalisation has changed the face of the healthcare industry,” said Naser Al Riyami, chief operating officer at Burjeel Medical City in Abu Dhabi.

“It has improved access to care, enhanced patient engagement, enabled personalised medicine, and driven overall efficiency in healthcare delivery.

“Al and data analytics play a bigger role than ever in health care today.”

Meanwhile, mobile apps ease the appointment process, allowing patients to access reports, and help healthcare providers manage their conditions.

Holographic surgery

Since 2021, Burjeel Medical City has used holographic technology to improve surgical planning.

Holographic surgery is an FDA-approved system used to create replicated 3D images of a patient’s organs.

It gives surgeons greater insight into a patient before surgery, allowing them a new opportunity to familiarise themselves with the patient’s anatomy before surgery.

As part of its radiation oncology programme, the hospital also uses the ExacTrac dynamic patient positioning and monitoring system by German tech firm Brainlab, which combines surface, thermal and X-ray tracking technology to achieve pinpoint accuracy during treatment.

“AI algorithms can help us identify patients at risk of developing certain conditions, allowing for earlier intervention and treatment,” said Mr Al Riyami.

“In personalised medicine, AI algorithms can also identify patterns that can help healthcare providers customise treatments.”

Despite progressive steps, limitations have been found in some areas of health care.

In radiology, researchers at Hospital Cochin in Paris found the OpenAI ChatGPT interface gave incomplete or inaccurate answers to questions posed by interventional radiologists.

When asked for the treatment for bleeding after a Whipple procedure — a major surgery to remove part of the pancreas in cancer patients — the same procedure was reported three times, but with three different descriptions by the AI software.

Researchers concluded ChaptGPT and similar chatbot models were capable of generating coherent, grammatically correct text, but were unable to respond accurately to more specific, technical questions.

The findings were published in the Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal.

Elsewhere in the UAE, Prime Hospital is one centre to adopt AI to help manage patient flow.

It uses an AI global healthcare technology platform called Heaps to track deviations in a patient’s care to ensure the right interventions are made.

The system allows health professionals to monitor patients with chronic conditions and predict what could go wrong with their future care, so a more proactive approach is taken to keep them out of hospital.

“The primary objective is to reduce the rate of avoidable hospitalisation and repeat hospitalisation,” said Mohammed Hamid, regional head for Heaps.ai in the GCC and Mena.

“Traditional care co-ordination models are labour intensive and often build on manual processes.

“AI models provide a low-cost high effectiveness solution which allows organisations to expand their services and coverage elsewhere.”

While AI is efficient at analysing vast data sets of data, faster and more accurately than humans, it still lacks a humane qualities that are pivotal in healthcare.

Dr Mrudul Ramachandran, a specialist of internal medicine, at Aster Clinic in Arabian Ranches, Dubai, said incoming AI would make doctors stronger, more capable and efficient in terms of treating people, but the role of medical professional was far from obsolete.

“AI can be a smart assistant to a doctor, it cannot replace a human doctor,” he said.

“Compassion and empathy are two inevitable qualities a doctor must possess.

“Treating a patient involves being compassionate and empathetic to their emotional and physiological needs, AI as a technology cannot help in this case.

“It is not fool-proof. AI analyses data and interprets it based on the data sets on which the AI models have been validated.

“If the data set is biased or lacks quality – it might generate false results so AI cannot make a final judgement on the diagnosis.

“A doctor has to use his skills to confirm the diagnosis. AI can only support the process.”

UAE has achieved the highest ranking for food security in the Middle East and Africa region

head dubai April 27, 2023 No Comments

The objective of the UAE’s National Food Security Strategy is to enhance local food production.

According to a recent report by GlobalData, the UAE has secured the top spot among 56 countries in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) for having the lowest risk in managing food security.

Israel secured the second position, while Saudi Arabia came in third place as one of the lowest-risk nations in the MEA region, according to the GlobalData Regional and Global Risk Index (GCRI) for Q4 2022. Qatar and Kuwait ranked fourth and fifth, respectively, while Bahrain secured the ninth position on a regional level.

As the UAE’s Ministry of Climate Change and Environment launched the first session of the National Dialogue for Food Security, a report was also released. The objective of the dialogue is to encourage productive discussions among government and private stakeholders to strengthen food security in the UAE.

The UAE’s National Food Security Strategy 2051 aims to bolster the local food production industry and decrease food waste and loss, using advanced technology. With COP28 set to take place in the UAE in 2023, the country is prioritizing efforts to achieve the goals of the strategy by collaborating with partners and implementing solutions to revolutionize the agricultural sector and food systems. This will help to enhance the resilience and sustainability of the food industry, according to Mariam bint Mohammed Almheiri, the Minister of Climate Change and Environment.

The GlobalData Regional and Global Risk Index (GCRI) report highlights that the MEA region is facing challenges such as supply chain disruptions, which have led to higher prices for essential items such as food and fuel. As a result, the region is facing increasing risks related to food insecurity and rising debt.

Switzerland has secured the top spot on the index, which takes into account the most up-to-date macroeconomic, political, social, technological, environmental, and legal data. Denmark and Singapore are in second and third place, respectively.

As the MEA region relies heavily on Russia and Ukraine for the import of essential food items, its risk score in the GCRI Q4 2022 update increased slightly from 54 to 54.3 out of 100.

Bindi Patel, an economic research analyst at GlobalData, noted that the recent decision by OPEC+ to reduce oil production could have an adverse impact on the economies of oil-producing nations in the MEA region, which depend heavily on oil exports. Additionally, many countries in the region rely heavily on food imports, and challenges related to the supply chain disruptions caused by various factors, such as conflicts in Ukraine and Syria and drought in Horn of African nations and Kenya, continue to pose significant challenges to food security.

According to the GlobalData report, although the MEA region has implemented more stringent monetary policies, the inflation level is expected to remain significantly high, with only a slight reduction projected. The inflation rate in the region is estimated to be 18.7 percent in 2023, with particularly high rates anticipated in countries such as Egypt (23.3 percent), Iran (40.7 percent), Turkey (43.7 percent), and Nigeria (19.3 percent).

According to the report, the overall risk for countries in the MEA region remains upward, as factors such as a possible slowdown in the global economy, tighter monetary policies, geopolitical tensions, and a rise in poverty and food insecurity continue to have a negative impact on their economies.

James Webb Space Telescope captures oldest galaxies ever observed

head dubai April 27, 2023 No Comments

The findings will help astronomers learn more about the early universe.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured galaxies that were formed only 350 million years after the birth of the universe — the oldest ones ever observed.

An international team of astronomers used data from the $10 billion telescope to make the discovery, with findings published in two studies, including in science journal Nature Astronomy and another on the European Space Agency website on Tuesday.

The data shows the universe when it was only two per cent of its current age.

“It was crucial to prove that these galaxies do, indeed, inhabit the early universe. It’s very possible for closer galaxies to masquerade as very distant galaxies,” said astronomer and co-author Emma Curtis-Lake from the University of Hertfordshire.

“Seeing the spectrum revealed as we hoped, confirming these galaxies as being at the true edge of our view, some further away than Hubble could see. It is a tremendously exciting achievement for the mission.”

The light from these galaxies has taken more than 13.4 billion years to reach us.

This has also helped confirm that the world’s most powerful telescope can make such observations using light from ancient galaxies that has been travelling through our universe for billions of years.

Astronomers used the telescope’s near-infrared camera (NIRCam) and the near-infrared spectrograph (NIRSpec) to make the observations.

Helping to unravel mysteries of the universe

“For the first time, we have discovered galaxies only 350 million years after the big bang, and we can be absolutely confident of their fantastic distances,” said co-author Brant Robertson from the University of California Santa Cruz.

Even though the galaxies are extremely faint because of how far they are, it would still help astronomers explore their properties.

Astronomer Sandro Tachella from the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that the telescope could unlock many mysteries of the universe.

“It is hard to understand galaxies without understanding the initial periods of their development,” he said.

“Much as with humans, so much of what happens later depends on the impact of these early generations of stars.”

The telescope was launched on Christmas Day, 2021, to help reveal secrets of the universe and how it was formed.

The first image from the telescope was revealed by US President Joe Biden on July 11. It showed the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it was 4.6 billion years ago.

Researchers have also been using the telescope to learn more about the solar system and its planets.

Last year, images that showed planet Jupiter in striking detail were released.

The planet, which is believed to have 79 moons, has a unique composition and inner structure that researchers want to study more.

Its atmosphere is made up of mostly hydrogen gas and helium gas, just like the Sun.

The gas giant is covered in thick red, brown, yellow and white clouds, which make it look like the planet has stripes.

UAE allows corporate tax exemptions for public benefit entities

head dubai April 26, 2023 No Comments

Organisations have to meet the conditions specified in Article 9 of the corporate tax law.

Public benefit organisations that contribute to the welfare of society will be eligible for exemptions under the UAE’s corporate tax law, the Ministry of Finance said on Sunday.

Organisations that qualify for the exemption, which was decided by the UAE Cabinet, will include entities that focus on activities such as philanthropy, community services and corporate social responsibility, the ministry said.

“This implementing decision is designed to reflect these entities’ important role in the UAE, which often includes religious, charitable, scientific, educational, or cultural value”, the Ministry of Finance said.

To qualify for the exemption, entities must meet the conditions specified in Article 9 of the corporate tax law and must maintain compliance with all relevant federal and local laws, the ministry said.

They must also inform the ministry of any changes that may affect their status as a qualifying public benefit entity.

Last year, the UAE introduced the federal corporate tax with a standard statutory rate of 9 per cent, which will come into effect for businesses whose financial year starts on or after June 1 this year.

In December, the country issued the federal corporate tax law, bringing the income of companies exceeding Dh375,000 ($102,000) into the corporate tax bracket.

The UAE corporate tax law currently exempts certain entities, including those involved in natural resource extraction activities in the country. However, they are still subject to existing local emirate-level tax.

Other exemptions are available to organisations such as government entities and pension or investment funds.

Existing free-zone entities are also exempt from corporate tax because they are among the drivers of the UAE’s economic growth, the ministry said in December.

Public benefit entities should register with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and obtain a registration number for corporate tax purposes, the Ministry of Finance said.

“The Cabinet may amend the schedule of qualifying public benefit entities at the suggestion of the minister by modifying, adding, or removing entities,” it said.

Qualifying public benefit entities have reporting obligations to ensure they meet the approval criteria.

The Cabinet decision also allows donations to qualifying public benefit entities to be a deductible expenditure under Article 33 of the corporate tax law.

The UAE’s corporate tax regime is based on a self-assessment principle, which means businesses are required to ensure that the documents submitted to the FTA are correct and comply with the law.

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed says decision was made to enhance Emiratis’ living standards.

Dubai will waive Dh146 million in outstanding housing loan repayments for 426 low-income citizens.

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, said the gesture was made in an effort to boost the living standards of Emiratis.

He said the emirate’s Higher Committee for Development and Citizens Affairs would be responsible for implementing the decision.

“We continue to implement initiatives and provide all support to enhance the standard of living for all citizens in Dubai,” Sheikh Hamdan wrote on Twitter.

It is the latest effort by the UAE leadership to support the housing needs of its population.

Dubai’s Crown Prince on Tuesday launched an international design competition to produce affordable housing for the city.

Sheikh Hamdan invited architects and designers from around the world to submit their designs for smart homes that families could mortgage for Dh1 million ($272,000).

The “House of the Future” competition comes as the city sees a rise in population and a boom in demand for property.

On Monday, Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, approved a Dh2.74 billion housing support plan for Emiratis living in the capital.

The crucial assistance for 1,800 citizens will be delivered under the directives of President Sheikh Mohamed.

Low-income retirees and families of deceased mortgage holders will not to be required to make housing loan repayments under the scheme.

Housing loans will also be provided to eligible citizens as part of the initiative.

UAE: Emirates announces new popular destination, launches daily flights from July

head dubai April 24, 2023 No Comments

The airline’s network expands to 18 points across the Americas.

Emirates announced on Monday it will launch a new daily service from Dubai to Montréal, starting July 5. Montréal becomes Emirates’ second gateway in Canada, complementing its passenger services to Toronto, which have been operating to Ontario’s capital city since 2007.

The launch of services to Montréal comes as the UAE and Canada aim to deepen economic cooperation between the two nations and stimulate benefits to the aviation and tourism sectors, in addition to enhancing trade flows and commercial links.

The daily flights to the new destination will help cater to the huge demand for direct flights between Dubai and Canada, particularly to its two largest metropolitan hubs, and provide more choice for travellers when flying to Canada.

The UAE is Canada’s largest export market in the Middle East and North Africa. In 2022, bilateral trade between Canada and the UAE exceeded C$2.6 billion (Dh7.05 billion), growing 53 per cent over the last five years. According to Statistics Canada, it is estimated the UAE’s foreign direct investments stock in Canada was valued at C$1.3 billion in 2021.

Canada features in Dubai’s top 20 source markets for inbound tourism with 158,000 Canadian visitors in 2022, more than double the number in 2021, according to Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism).

The daily flights between Dubai and Montréal will operate as EK243/244 with a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in a three-class configuration, with eight first class suites, 42 lie-flat seats in business class and 304 seats in economy class.

“Emirates is excited to launch our second gateway into Canada as we expand our reach in the country with direct services from our hub in Dubai. As a major metropolitan centre and as Canada’s second largest city, we are pleased to add Montréal to our growing global network of over 130 destinations and strengthening our coverage in the Americas to reach 18 points served by our services from Dubai,” said Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Chief Commercial Officer.

“We have been serving customers with passenger and cargo services to Toronto for over 15 years and when we begin services to Montréal in July, customers will have more choice when planning their travel whether for business, leisure, education or for visiting family and friends. We would like to thank the UAE and Canadian authorities for the enhanced agreements which have made this new destination possible. With our expanded reach into the country, we look forward to facilitating new trade lanes, which will bring a host of benefits to Canadian businesses and exporters in addition to promoting tourism into more cities and generating more jobs across all sectors, including those directly serving the aviation industry,” continued Kazim.

Emirates network and Air Canada partnership

Customers of Emirates and Air Canada have access to an expansive network of destinations thanks to the codeshare partnership between the two airlines. In addition to over 130 destinations that Emirates flies to, its customers currently have access to 19 Canadian destinations beyond Toronto through the partnership, while Air Canada customers are able to fly on Emirates to Dubai and access 17 cities in Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, Middle East and Far East. Additionally, Emirates passengers are able to choose from over 140 routes operated by Air Canada on an interline basis, including 27 points in Canada and 94 routes between Canada and the US and South America.

Emirates has been operating to Toronto since 2007 and its flagship A380 service on the Dubai-Toronto route since 2009. From April 20, Emirates has been serving Toronto with a daily A380 service. With the addition of Montréal, the airline will provide a choice of two points for travellers planning trips to and from Canada. This will also grow Emirates’ network across the Americas to two points in Canada, 12 US cities, and four destinations across Mexico, Brazil and Argentina.

Emirates provides also cargo services to Canada with a capacity to carry 20 tonnes in the bellyhold of its Boeing 777 passenger aircraft and up to 15 tonnes aboard its A380 aircraft.

Dubai sets new record for most expensive plot in $34m deal

head dubai April 24, 2023 No Comments

The Jumeirah Bay plot is 24,500 sq ft and will be used to build a custom-designed mansion, Knight Frank says.

A 24,500 square feet sand plot in Jumeirah Bay has sold for Dh125 million ($34 million), making it the most expensive land plot sold in the UAE.

The transaction last week surpassed the previous record for a land plot sale of Dh91 million, according to global property consultancy Knight Frank, which represented the seller and buyer in the deal.

The plot was worth Dh5,100 per square foot, the broker said on Monday.

The plot was sold to an international buyer, although their identity was not disclosed. They will build a custom-built mansion on the plot.

The seller is Umar Kamani, the 35-year-old founder of UK-based fashion retailer PrettyLittleThing, Knight Frank said.

Demand has been very strong because of the exclusivity and scarcity of supply in Jumeirah Bay,” Andrew Cummings, partner and head of prime residential at Knight Frank, told The National.

“With only over 100 plots for people to buy, many owners see it as their forever home. So, when people approach owners to buy property with big numbers and big profits, they don’t want to sell.”

“A Dh125 million transaction would normally represent a spectacular penthouse or palatial mansion. However, Jumeirah Bay’s exclusivity means that this only buys you the sand on which to build your dream home.

“This is another sign that Dubai is the number one destination for international real estate investment due to the attractive lifestyle and business-friendly environment.”

Dubai’s luxury home sales hit Dh6 billion in the first quarter of 2023, with wealthy buyers snapping up 88 units valued at more than $10 million as prime property sales continued to pick up amid a wider economic recovery.

The emirate’s prime residential markets of Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills and Jumeirah Bay Island accounted for 64 per cent of luxury home sales during the three-month period, with average transaction prices in these high-demand locations reaching Dh8,800 per square foot, Knight Frank said in a report earlier this month.

Dubai has been ranked as the world’s fourth-most active market in the luxury residential segment as sales of prime properties continue to pick up, the company said in March.

Last year, the emirate recorded the sale of 219 homes priced above $10 million, with the total value of the transactions reaching $3.8 billion. That ranks Dubai behind New York (244 sales), Los Angeles (225 sales) and London (223 sales), according to Knight Frank.

The average price of ultra-luxury homes in Dubai rose by more than 27 per cent in the first quarter of the year compared with the previous quarter, according to a report by Luxhabitat Sotheby’s, based on data from the Dubai Land Department.

The average price of a prime property in the emirate increased to Dh25.2 million, the report said.

The plot was bought two years ago for Dh36.5 million, according to the Dubai Land Department, netting the seller a Dh88.5 million profit, Bloomberg said on Monday.

It is one of only 128 originally offered on Jumeirah Bay Island by developer Meraas Holding. All of the parcels were initially sold off years ago, it said.

The seller in the transaction owns an identical plot next to the one sold and plans to sell it for Dh135 million, the report added.

Jumeirah Bay Island has become a highly sought-after real estate commodity, with land prices soaring threefold in recent years, according to Knight Frank.

“This sale further solidifies the island’s status as a super-prime destination, joining the ranks of exclusive developments like the Bulgari Lighthouse, which recently set the record for the most expensive penthouse sale at Dh410 million,” the consultancy said.

The Bulgari Lighthouse tower deal, which set a record for the most expensive apartment sale in Dubai, was an off-plan purchase for a nine-bedroom home with five parking spaces, DLD data showed.

Set across 38,970 square feet, the price means it sold at Dh10,521 per square foot, with the deal registered on February 1.

Bulgari Lighthouse is a 27-storey residence overlooking the sea, and will have 31 penthouses.
