Dubai: Get smart medical fitness test, visa stamp in 30 minutes now

Dubai: VIPs, investors and holders of the golden residency visa can complete their medical fitness tests, get their results and visa stamped, all within 30 minutes, at Smart Salem, Dubai Health Authority’s (DHA) first fully Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven autonomous medical fitness centre in Dubai. The smart medical fitness test comes for Dh700.

In what will be a completely new experience at the centre located in City Walk, customers will be able to give their car to a smart VIP valet service. As Maisa Al Bustani, Director of the Medical Fitness Services Department at the DHA, said, “The service combines facial and plate recognition to identify them so that the car can be recalled when their journey is completed autonomously.

“Once they enter, they will be greeted by a robot that will direct them to a screen for self-registration using their facial and Iris print.”

The centre has employed four robots, each with a different function (including customer service, relay, catering and vending, etc.).

Al Bustani said a first-of-its kind personalised Smart Q-system calls the customer by their name and their photo, and then directs them to the blood withdrawal booths, which have transparent smart glass doors, which electronically become tinted once the customer walks in to ensure their privacy, using voice control. The rooms also have screens with different scenery options, which customers can choose from for a relaxing feel.

A nurse then uses an electronic device to locate the vein for occupational health or the unique push-button device to withdraw the blood painlessly for medical fitness tests.

Al Bustani said that the nurse then hands over the blood samples along with the passport to a robot, which transfers the blood samples to the lab and passport to GDRFA officer. After that, the patient is directed to the x-ray room.

After finishing their tests, customers can wash their hands using an innovative Smart Wash technology, which is timed to ensure that customers wash their hand correctly and it helps reduce water wastage by 90 per cent.
