Amman, Jordan, Sept 9, 2024: Presight, the region’s leading big data analytics company powered by generative artificial intelligence (AI) has been awarded a multi-million-dollar contract by Jordan’s Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship (MODEE) that will set the pace of digital transformation in the country’s healthcare sector.

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.

Key elements of the contract include, among other groundbreaking projects, the delivery of a comprehensive public sector digital healthcare assessment and roadmap including strategic PMO, health information exchange strategy and business case

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.

Commenting on the initiative, H.E.

Initiatives such as these are crucial for advancing the healthcare sector and keeping it aligned with global developments.
