As part of its ongoing efforts to expand digital healthcare services and enhance the efficiency of its system, Emirates Health Services (EHS) has launched the "E Rapid Care" project, an innovative platform that allows patients to access primary care and immediate medical consultations remotely, 24/7, for non-life-threatening urgent cases. The service operates through precise triage protocols that assess symptoms and determine the appropriate level of care for each patient. This approach helps redirect minor cases to virtual consultations instead of emergency departments, giving patients direct video access to physicians at any time and from anywhere, within a safe, integrated care experience that increases convenience, reduces congestion, and optimizes medical resources. Operational intelligence is one of the key strengths of the service. Patients are identified through digital IDs, and their information is instantly linked to their unified medical record, ensuring diagnostic accuracy and continuity of care. The intelligent triage system customizes questions based on reported symptoms, enabling a precise and personalized response for every case. Patients are then automatically directed to the appropriate physician, with the added convenience of home medication delivery. The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for UAE nationals aged 18 to 60, via the EHS mobile app or the patient portal. It has already seen strong uptake, particularly among individuals with mild conditions who appreciate the convenience of receiving care without visiting a healthcare facility. Through this initiative, Emirates Health Services reaffirms its commitment to advancing an integrated digital healthcare model that aligns with the nation's smart service transformation and strengthens the UAE's position as a leading hub for future-focused, innovative, and inclusive healthcare.
