Dubai, May 6 / WAM / Dubai Medical University launched the first two medical projects of their kind in the world supported by artificial intelligence techniques, namely: “Dr. Layy”, the first artificial intelligence expert specialized in alternative medicine and herbal treatment, and “Dr. Alaya”, the first assistant dean working in artificial intelligence in the university education sector, in addition to the first medical nursery on a university campus managed by artificial intelligence in the region.

The university launched the two projects under the patronage of His Excellency Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan Tamim, Vice President of Police and Public Security in Dubai, and the Chairman of the University’s Board of Trustees who emphasized that the two projects embody the vision of the rational leadership in making the UAE a global center for innovation, in line with the Emirates AI strategy 2031, indicating that the university keeps pace with this vision through scientific and technical initiatives that contribute to developing the future of health education locally and internationally.

Engineer Yahya Lootah, Vice -Chairman of the University’s Board of Trustees, pointed out that these smart initiatives are not just advanced technical applications, but rather an ambitious national vision that seeks to enable knowledge through artificial intelligence, and to open future horizons that combine ancient scientific heritage and the latest technology.

He stressed that this step represents an extension of his father, Hajj Saeed Ahmed Lootah, who believed that harnessing technology to serve man is the essence of progress and the pillar of building societies.

Dr. Sherif Khalifa, Vice President and Dean of the College of Pharmacy, said in a statement to the Emirates News Agency, “WAM”, that the “Dr. Alaya” project represents a qualitative shift in academic work, as 40 of the 260 tasks are currently performing by the human dean, equivalent to 20% of the work burden, without seeking to replace the human element, but to support it and improve efficiency.

He added that the system contributed to reducing the time of preparing accreditation reports from two weeks to half a day, as it can be taken academic decisions within less than 60 seconds, through a digital control panel that monitors performance indicators, student satisfaction, and the quality of education on a daily basis, as well as the modernization of study programs immediately, and the analysis of academic and employment needs accurately, in order to enhance the consistency of curricula with the developments of medical science and the requirements of the health labor market.

The engineer, Hessa Lootah, Director of the Department of Artificial Intelligence and Innovation at the university, explained that the “Dr. Layy” project depends on the analysis of clinical and plant data to provide natural and safe treatment recommendations, noting that the university established the first medical nursery of its kind in the world, which includes more than 156 types of medicinal plants, including what was imported from China, India, Brazil, and the United States.

She emphasized that the university will re -operate its treatment center in the second phase of the project, to receive academic and professional auditors under the supervision of Chinese, Indian, and popular medical medicine as major treatment paths within accredited curricula, noting that the initiative aims to reduce dependence on chemical drugs.

She noted the existence of an international cooperation agreement between the university and the Indian University of Embs, classified as one of the finest medical universities in India, as well as an expected agreement with one of the leading Chinese universities, with the aim of enhancing joint scientific research and providing field training opportunities for university students.

It is worth noting that the Faculty of Medicine at Dubai Medical University was established in 1986, followed by the College of Pharmacy in 1992, and the kidneys have emerged more than 3,200 graduates belonging to more than 60 nationalities, who occupy leadership positions in the health sectors inside and outside the country.

The university is currently seeking to revive the Emirati medical heritage through projects that combine artificial intelligence and folk treatment, in addition to supporting scientific research and academic publishing in the fields of Chinese and Indian medicine.
