The contract will see Presight leverage M42's Abu Dhabi Health Data Services (ADHDS) expertise gained from their successful healthcare digital transformation projects in Abu Dhabi. This will serve as a blueprint to accelerate the adoption of innovative technologies and data-driven strategies aimed at improving healthcare outcomes for Jordanian citizens. Additionally, utilizing its big data analytics capabilities, Presight will implement state-of-the-art solutions to derive actionable data insights.

and establishment of a virtual hospital “Command Center” that provides tele-ICU, tele-radiology and tele-dialysis “next-generation" services to peripheral hospitals.

Through this initiative, the MODEE aims to capture the vast majority of clinical encounters on this journey towards a digitally transformed healthcare landscape. This is expected to result in resource efficiencies, enhancement of the quality of care, streamlining of healthcare costs and greater access to critical medical services across the country.

Work has already commenced with an inaugural meeting between all stakeholders held in Jordan in the presence of H.E. Ahmad Hanandeh, Jordan’s Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, and H.E. Dr. Firas Al-Hawari, Jordan’s Minister of Health.
