As part of the agreement, the proprietary OBIX system will be integrated with Nordic Digital Platforms, which provides comprehensive healthcare digital solutions and has a proven track record in delivering seamless and efficient healthcare information management.

Following the agreement, NDP will also further expand its operations in the UAE, complementing the government’s vision to draw on the power of AI and implement impactful use-cases in the healthcare sector. The new agreement will help transform maternity care services in both public and private sector hospitals in the UAE, building on the already strong operations that NDP and OBIX have across the GCC region.
“This partnership with OBIX represents a significant milestone in our mission to drive healthcare IT innovation and business growth in the UAE and the wider GCC region,” said Harri Koponen, CEO of NPD, “With AI-driven digital solutions transforming the UAE’s healthcare landscape, and maternity services in particular, we are leveraging OBIX’s expertise in perinatal care, to deliver transformative digital healthcare solutions that enhance the quality and safety of services provided at both public and private facilities.”
