Upcoming Trade Shows Dubai, UAE for Medical Equipment

In the medical equipment industry, Dubai has managed to pull ahead of its competitors in the MENA region and today is a key player in healthcare innovation. A strong government support and an already established startup ecosystem make Dubai the perfect destination for companies focused on innovative solutions. From digital health platforms to blockchain-based healthcare solutions, Dubai’s healthcare sector is evolving rapidly. One standout company leading the charge is Altibbi, the largest digital health platform in the Arab world. Since its launch in 2010, Altibbi has transformed how patients access medical advice. Hosting 1.5 million pages of medical content, Altibbi offers a 24/7 telehealth service that allows users to consult doctors anytime, anywhere, through their mobile devices. With a subscription-based model, users gain unlimited access to live consultations for a monthly fee. Altibbi’s impact is significant, with over 250,000 daily visitors and 40,000 user queries per month. Another groundbreaking player is Dhoner Healthcare, which is focused on global healthcare blockchain services. In 2023, the Dubai Ministry of Health and Prevention partnered with Dhoner to streamline and safeguard organ donation procedures. Using blockchain and artificial intelligence, Dhoner’s platform enhances the verification and matching of organs with patients. This technology is poised to significantly reduce organ trafficking across the UAE. In 2019, national telecommunications company du introduced the UAE’s first BPaaS solution for the health sector in collaboration with Dhoner. Okadoc is making waves with its healthcare provider search and appointment-booking platform. Patients can search for healthcare providers based on their specialisation, location, and insurance provider. The platform allows users to book, cancel, and reschedule appointments with ease, and even set reminders. Okadoc was one of the first platforms to offer instant online booking, and it has raised US$12.3 million in funding, with major backing from the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.
