Smart Diagnostic & Sensing Technologies
Smart Diagnostic & Sensing Technologies
The Smart Diagnostic and Sensing Technologies theme is committed to developing novel concepts and innovative tools to manage Saudi Arabia’s pressing health challenges, including communicable disease control, biosurveillance methods and age-related conditions. The work of this theme is at the forefront of advanced sensing, diagnostic and data-processing technologies that emphasize proactive health care and preventative medicine. The Smart Diagnostic and Sensing Technologies theme incorporates expert faculty members adept at building smart-health solutions for rapid diagnostics, advanced health monitoring and targeted treatment delivery. These tools reshape and optimize the healthcare infrastructure to meet the shifting demographics and intensifying health needs of the growing Saudi population.
The theme will promote two branches of activity, consisting of 1) a focus on elevating proof-of-concept platforms and prototypes identified in the One Health and HeART themes, facilitating their advancement and accelerating their deployment in the Kingdom and, 2) the development of the next generation of technologies to be ready for the future health needs of the Kingdom.
