RIYADH: The Makkah Health Cluster is participating in the Global Health Exhibition, which is being held from Oct. 27 to 30 at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center under the theme 鈥淚nvest in Health.鈥�
The event features health innovations and experts from more than 130 countries, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.
The cluster is showcasing its iSelfie project, which uses artificial intelligence and photoplethysmography. The initiative speeds up patient assessments by 70 percent, cutting the time per patient from seven to two minutes in emergency departments.
The smart vital signs project will be implemented across 14 hospitals and 15 primary healthcare centers, saving SR120,000 ($32,000) a year by eliminating Dynamap devices.
It is also expected to reduce nursing costs by SR15.3 million and optimize the workforce by 50 percent through AI automation while maintaining quality care, the SPA added.
These solutions advance healthcare digitalization in line with Vision 2030, improving access, efficiency, and self-care through smart technology.
The exhibition serves as a platform for health practitioners, featuring more than 100 dialogue sessions and workshops on the future of healthcare, AI鈥檚 role, and the health investment landscape in the Kingdom.
