Transformative healthcare technology solutions were at the heart of conversations at GITEX GLOBAL’s GITEX DIGI_HEALTH 5.0 Dubai, where thousands of technology enthusiasts and healthcare pioneers converged at the Dubai World Trade Center (DWTC) for a day of discussions on future health.
The world’s largest technology event provided a platform to showcase the latest AI-driven digital health and health technology solutions, highlighting innovations that are reshaping patient care globally.
The event is part of the UAE government’s pioneering efforts to advance the digital health ecosystem, with the UAE digital health market expected to reach US$487.30 million in here the end of this year. The show also supports Dubai’s commitment to adopting digital practices that benefit healthcare professionals and patients alike.
With investments in AI-driven healthcare expected to account for 20% of global healthcare spending by the end of the year, GITEX GLOBAL has paved the way for industry leaders to explore how AI is revolutionizing delivery and improves outcomes for millions of patients.
GITEX DIGI_HEALTH 5.0 Dubai brought together professionals and leaders from around the world to build on this figure and discuss the impact of this innovative tool on daily operations while providing insight into what the future holds. It has attracted some of the biggest names in the global landscape, including labs such as Biogen, Roche and Sanofi, as well as tech giants Microsoft, M42 and Lenovo. Also in attendance were established medical institutions including Samsung Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Roche and many others.
The evolving role of robotics in health technology was a major focus of the showcase and lecture program. Denis Ledenkof, founder of Robosculptor, showed how AI-powered robotics is transforming patient care through an autonomous bodywork platform developed by healthcare industry experts, highlighting that robotic technology offers many benefits.
AI is a powerful tool for improving patient preferences. When it comes to robotic treatments, they help improve the patient experience by simply giving them access to a wider range of therapies and improving accessibility.
An example we use is an app that works similar to a taxi or delivery app where people can search for treatments and view the information users would search for.

Alex Aliper, co-founder and chairman of Insilico Medicine, a Hong Kong digital health unicorn, was part of another panel that delved into genomics. He explained how precision medicine, powered by AI, is revolutionizing genetic profiling – an approach intended to transform treatments for diseases previously considered incurable.
Meanwhile, following a study that showed AI can reduce the risk of new vascular events by 25.6% in stroke patients, Aneesh Singhal, MD, director of the Comprehensive Stroke Center and vice chair of neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital, provided an overview of what to expect in the field of neurology.
In his presentation, he discussed the Golden Bridge II trial, which showed that the use of an AI-based clinical decision support system had a significantly greater impact on the number of vascular events and quality of stroke care than standard care in patients with acute ischemic stroke. (AIS).
Separately, Jong-Soo Choi, Chief Technology Officer at Samsung Medical Center, one of Korea’s most renowned hospitals, shared his views on cutting-edge technologies such as remote patient monitoring (RPM) and gene therapy and how they set the stage for the next wave of change.
Dubai deep tech company Xpanceo made waves by unveiling a smart contact lens for 3D imaging and another for data reading, demonstrating wireless data transmission capabilities built directly into the lens. These innovations are expected to redefine the boundaries of how real-time data is perceived, pushing the digital health landscape into a new era of intelligent diagnostics.
Oracle Health also demonstrated its innovative clinical digital assistant. Leveraging AI-powered voice recognition, the assistant autonomously documents doctor-patient encounters, interprets the information, and accurately enters a draft note into the Oracle Health EHR, allowing the physician to review and quickly approve clinical documentation.
GITEX GLOBAL seamlessly connects the world’s largest technology events network with GITEX EUROPE Berlin, GITEX ASIA Singapore, GITEX AFRICA Morocco and GITEX NIGERIA all part of its portfolio. These events foster collaboration and drive innovation to shape the technology landscape of tomorrow.
GITEX GLOBAL announced this year the launch of the GITEX DIGI_HEALTH 5.0 Expo-Summit in Thailand, from September 10 to 12, 2025, in a destination touted as having one of the highest potentials to overtake the digital health sector, with a focus on digital solutions to meet growing demands across Asia.
