HealthStay.io has launched the world’s first AI-powered medical tourism solution, marking a significant advancement in the UAE’s healthcare sector. The innovative platform, developed in collaboration with Dubai Health Experience (DXH) and part of the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), aims to automate the entire medical tourism experience.
The solution streamlines the medical tourism process by integrating all aspects of patient management, from procedure selection to booking flights, visas, and accommodations. This advanced system not only facilitates a smoother experience for international patients but also enhances efficiency for healthcare providers.
Sean Conaty, Co-founder & CEO of HealthStay.io, highlighted the potential impact, stating, “With around 674,000 medical tourists visiting Dubai in 2022, and AED992 million spent on medical services, our AI solution is set to revolutionize the industry by making the process faster and more efficient for everyone involved.”
The launch is supported by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Innovation Fund (MBRIF) and marks a milestone for HealthStay.io, which was recently awarded Best UAE Homegrown Business. The company’s participation in the MBRIF Innovation Accelerator has been instrumental in bringing this cutting-edge solution to market.
Fatima Yousif Alnaqbi, Acting Assistant Undersecretary for Support Services Sector and MBRIF representative, praised the initiative: “HealthStay.io’s launch underscores the success of our Innovation Accelerator programme and its role in advancing the UAE’s position as a global hub for medical excellence.”
The solution is currently in the final stages of registration with DHA, ensuring compliance with local standards and enhancing its credibility. This endorsement will allow DXH members to integrate HealthStay.io’s technology into their operations seamlessly.
Ruairi Tubrid, Co-founder & COO of HealthStay.io, expressed gratitude to DXH and DHA for their support, stating, “We are thankful for the collaborative effort in enhancing Dubai’s reputation as a leader in healthcare tourism. The backing from MBRIF has been crucial in our journey.”
HealthStay.io’s launch signifies a major step forward in medical tourism, promising a transformative impact on how patients and providers interact in Dubai and beyond.
