STC & Philips to unlock telehealth’s potential
to transform care in KSA
R
oyal Philips, a global leader in health
technology, is partnering with STC to roll
out telehealth solutions powered by AI in
a move that could transform the ability to
diagnose and treat patients in remote and
rural areas.
The telehealth solutions provided by Philips
allow hospitals and clinics anywhere in
the country to be connected to command
centres, through which doctors in other
locations can treat patients remotely,
providing better access to higher quality and
more cost-effective care.
Eng Riyadh Muawadh, Enterprise Senior
VP at Saudi Telecom Co, said: “We know
that limited access to adequate ICT
infrastructure is the biggest technological
barrier to realising telehealth solutions
for disadvantaged and underserved
communities. We have invested in our state-
of-the-art ICT infrastructure to help support
the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, which has
Digital Transformation at its heart.
“Spanning all corners of the country, our
network is a key piece of the jigsaw puzzle in
providing better access, higher quality and
more cost effective care to all residents of
the Kingdom and helping healthcare
professionals in all locations feel confident
and empowered in their day to day
working lives.”
The combination of AI and the data
processing power of STC’s full range of cloud
computing services means high volumes
of patient data can be analysed to rapidly
and accurately diagnose and treat patients,
identify patterns and make real-time decisions.
