The UAE will initiate more robotic-assisted procedures in different surgical specialities, as cost-effectiveness is driving the future of such AI driven innovations in the healthcare sector.

This was revealed at the Global Robotic MedTech Forum which was held in the Middle East for the first time, where key industry leaders and stakeholders congregated in Dubai on Thursday.

Experts in the field elucidated robotic surgery provides three-dimensional vision, seven motion degrees, stable vision, disabling hand’s tremor, and a well-established feasibility, safety, and effectiveness profile.

They also revealed that several studies have shown that robotic-assisted surgery is associated with greater precision and impressive clinical outcomes leading to enhanced patient care.

Addressing the attendees virtually, Omar bin Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote work applications stated by embracing technology and innovation, the country is poised to further improve patient outcomes and provide more efficient and effective healthcare solutions.

“We see technology being used in many domains. There are so many different applications, and we see the use
