Three Growth Factors Driving the Saudi Arabia Digital Health Industry

• Vision 2030’s Push for Healthcare Modernization

The vision of Saudi Arabia 2030 is the game-changer in the digital health industry, and the government is investing in changing healthcare to be modern in all possible ways. More than 50 percent of patient records were digitalized using the single Nafis e-health platform connecting over 224 hospitals and allowing over 30,000 consultations per month that would not be otherwise performed due to the shortage of specialists through AI-assisted diagnostics and virtual specialists. Such an unprecedented spending on infrastructure is increasing the accessibility of healthcare, particularly in remote regions, and promoting the recent innovation in a non-public sector. Preventive care and chronic disease management, with 71.8 percent of adults being overweight or obese, contribute to the demand of digital tools, such as remote monitoring and telemedicine, especially in such conditions as asthma and COPD, in line with the Kingdom reaching the objective of oil less and a prosperous healthcare ecosystem.

• Surge in Smartphone and Internet Penetration

Digital health is exploding in Saudi Arabia due to the adoption of interactive phones and faster internet. Millions of people are already accessing healthcare using mobile apps and websites as the internet penetration reaches unheard heights. The market occupied by the e-pharmacy alone was estimated at 923.56 million dollars not long ago, which attributes to the comfort of using digital platforms to order medication. The Ministry of Health has launched apps, including Mawid, Tabaud, and Seha, that enable virtual consultation and therefore provide healthcare without hospital attendance. With this interconnection, patients are able to take charge in their healthcare activities such as scheduling appointments and keeping track of their chronic diseases. This is especially being spurred by the younger group that is more technology proficient with 62.8 being below the age of 30, taking up digital solutions to all aspects of life including monitoring fitness levels as well as telehealth which is a rich environment when it comes to technological innovations in the field of health.

• Rising Investment in AI and Health Tech Startups

The development of Saudi Arabia in terms of digital health is being boosted by investment in health tech and AI startups. The healthcare sector is becoming innovative due to the efforts of the Kingdom to become a global leader in AI supported by a $940 billion sovereign wealth fund. As an example, the number of youth-owned enterprises in AI technologies has grown by 34% and there were 14,409 business entries. The government is joining forces with the digital skills programs in the private sector to educate young Saudis and make sure that the market needs are connected to educational ones. It is through such investments that inventions such as AI-powered diagnostics through the largest virtual hospital in the world are breaking boundaries with its 224+ connections. All this talent and capital flow is fostering an ever-evolving ecosystem in which startups are working on innovative healthcare solutions, including wearables and predictive analytics, that address the burgeoning need to make healthcare more personalized.

Three Emerging Trends in the Saudi Arabia Digital Health Market

• Expansion of Telemedicine and Virtual Care

In Saudi Arabia telemedicine is gaining momentum and this is changing the way people receive care. Apps provided by the Ministry of Health such as Mawid and Seha have reached the stage of virtual consultation and more than 30,000 virtual consultations are managed per month by the virtual hospital network provided in the Kingdom. This tendency is particularly important when dealing with the management of chronic diseases such as diabetes or respiratory conditions, as a considerable number of people have them. On the one hand, remote monitoring tools are becoming popular to monitor health in real-time, since 71.8 percent of adults are overweight or obese. Such platforms will minimize the necessity of face-to-face visits and, therefore, save time and relieve the hospitals. The feasibility and expandability of telemedicine are attractive to both city and rural customers, telemedicine is one of the fundamental facets of Saudi Arabians drive to accessible, technology-since healthcare.

• Growth of E-Pharmacy Platforms

The e-pharmacies in Saudi Arabia have become very popular thanks to the ease of usage of online pharmacies. Valued at 923.56 million recently, the market is performing well because of its high number of smartphones and favorable e-commerce policy. Such platforms give their customers the ability to order prescriptions using a small number of clicks, which serves a popular market with a demand related to convenient healthcare. The governmental drive of digital health, promoted by such measures as Vision 2030, reinforces the pattern by simplifying regulatory policies and stimulating innovations in the private sector. The youthful population that forms 62.8 percent of the entire population is very much tech-savvy and they are attracted to these platforms due to their rapidity and accessibility. E-pharmacies are also being more connected with the telemedicine applications which have made an inseparable experience where a patient can have a word with the doctor and at the same time receive medicine without even stepping outside, changing the delivery of healthcare.

• Adoption of Wearable Health Devices

The trend of taking health into their own hands and actively managing it through technology is also becoming popular in Saudi Arabia as wearable health devices are slowly becoming common. Wearable technology, e.g., smartwatch and fitness trackers, is being applied to track heart rate, activity level, or even chronic conditions; the trend is captured by the scale of users of fitness apps, with 368 million people using fitness apps worldwide. Due to the high prevalence of obesity (71.8 per cent of adult population), Saudi Arabia is experiencing an increased demand in wearables that monitor health data in real time owing to the interest on preventive care. The devices also come together with platforms such as Nafis and the doctors are able to access patient info remotely. This trend is also boosted by the government investment in the 5G infrastructure that will provide a seamless connection to the data-powered health solutions, as users will take control of their wellness and put less pressure on healthcare facilities.
