Etisalat has launched the Business Edge Healthcare platform, a plethora of services dedicated to enhancing and empowering hospitals, ambulatory practices and medical staff. The platform provides seamless, secure and practical solutions to improve day-to-day operations in all business phases of the various departments.
This falls in line with UAE’s leadership’s vision and the Department of Health’s (DoH) overall objectives of enabling digital health-supporting clinics utilising digital technologies to improve health, care delivery, and informed decision-making for a better patient experience.
Dr Hamed Ali Al Hashemi, Advisor to DoH Chairman at Department of Health, Abu Dhabi, said: “Etisalat’s healthcare platform will further boost the digital transformation process of healthcare in Abu Dhabi with locally hosted solutions. This will entice all market participants to adopt digital solutions that will enable them to provide a higher standard of patient care, as our joint goal.”
Etisalat’s Business Edge Healthcare platform offers various business benefits to the health care sector. The pre-integrated telemedicine module allows doctors to conduct live video consultations with their patients.
The cloud electronic medical records (EMR) solution on the platform is HIE (Health Information Exchange) ready and a clinical care and telehealth solution optimised for small to medium-sized clinical practices providing ambulatory care to patients.

Etisalat’s Business Edge Healthcare solution hosts several benefits: quick set-up and provisioning, a monthly subscription with no significant upfront cost, and a customisable solution with a built-in modular approach. It also covers all outpatient department operations, including scheduling and patient check-in and check-out.
Esam Mahmoud, Senior Vice President, SMB, Etisalat, said: “The emergence of Covid-19 and its devastating impact has brought irreversible changes to our lives and the global economy. This demands agile solutions that empower frontline workers with the best in technology and continuous access to health services safely and conveniently to bring digital transformation to small businesses as it provides tools and services that will help them achieve a world-class healthcare system.”
Other benefits include an intuitive patient app available on iOS and Android app stores, an interoperable solution with capabilities to integrate with other healthcare solutions, and a complete clinical documentation module allowing patient transactions and records. Laboratory and X-ray results will be securely stored on the cloud, while a “speech to text” feature will make it easier for clinicians to capture patient history and charts.
The solution also features video surveillance as a service and a thermal camera solution to detect elevated skin-surface temperatures and reduce false alarms, analyse and track with the point of sale service, cloud-hosted endpoint security guaranteeing protection from the most invasive cyberattacks, unified communications, managed Wi-Fi solutions and managed devices.
