HealthStay.io, a participant in the seventh batch of the Mohammed bin Rashid Innovation Fund’s Innovation Accelerator Program, has announced the launch of the world’s first AI-powered booking and sales management system for the medical tourism sector. This system aims to provide an innovative customer experience in the UAE and the region, enhancing the UAE’s position as a global hub for medical tourism.
This system is based on a strategic partnership with the “Dubai Health Experience” under the Dubai Health Authority, serving as an integrated link between tourists coming for treatment and healthcare facilities in Dubai. Tourists can select the healthcare services that suit their needs and complete their bookings through the hospitals’ websites, thereby enhancing their medical experience in Dubai.
Fatima Yousuf Alnaqbi, Acting Assistant Undersecretary for Support Services at the Ministry of Finance, Chief Innovation Officer, and the Ministry’s representative at the Mohammed bin Rashid Innovation Fund, emphasized the importance of supporting innovative initiatives to strengthen the UAE’s position as a global center of excellence. She noted that HealthStay.io reflects the vital role of the Innovation Accelerator in supporting the innovation ecosystem and entrepreneurs.
HealthStay.io simplifies the processes related to medical tourism through an automated system that offers features such as selecting a doctor, booking flight tickets, visas, and accommodation. The platform also provides hospitals with an advanced tool for customer relationship management, helping them attract more potential patients and increase operational efficiency, thereby enhancing the quality of healthcare services.
Sean Conaty, Co-Founder and CEO of HealthStay.io, pointed out that the platform is a living example of the crucial role AI can play in driving medical tourism in the UAE. He expressed confidence in the sector’s immense potential, especially with Dubai receiving approximately 674,000 medical tourists in 2022.
The process of officially registering the innovation with the Dubai Health Authority is currently underway to ensure compliance with local regulations and standards. The registration will enable “Dubai Health Experience” members to integrate the advanced HealthStay.io booking and sales management system into their operations, providing medical facilities with the necessary tools to automate booking systems for international clients.
Ruairi Tubrid, Co-founder & COO, HealthStay.io , expressed gratitude to the Dubai Health Authority and the Mohammed bin Rashid Innovation Fund for their continuous support, reaffirming the platform’s commitment to its vision of enhancing Dubai’s position as a leading global destination for medical tourism.
HealthStay.io is a graduate of the seventh batch of the Innovation Accelerator Program and was awarded the title of Best Local Startup in the UAE by prominent investors during the graduation ceremony.
