A New Era for Digital Health 2026

The impact of intelligence3 From vision to value: how intelligence delivers measurable outcomes in Abu Dhabi and beyond. Abu Dhabi’s experience shows that when intelligence is embedded into the fabric of health and governance, the results are visible across four dimensions: –Healthier societies –Stronger economies –Faster innovation at scale –Better outcomes for individualsThe impact examples below show that system- level health intelligence is not a technical function confined to healthcare; it is the backbone of coordinated cross-government public policy. Integrated data systems allow governments to detect risks earlier, target interventions more precisely and evaluate returns on investment across sectors. Abu Dhabi’s PHI platform integrates clinical, demographic, environmental and social data to map health risks across the emirate and guide targeted action. By connecting insights across government, the private sector and communities, it identifies priority groups, predicts emerging threats and directs preventive programmes where they will have the greatest impact. This shared intelligence underpins a whole-of-society approach to resilience and well-being, one where education, environment and urban planning all contribute to better health outcomes.3.1 A healthier society A New Era for Digital Health: Abu Dhabi’s Leap to Health Intelligence 19
