Muscat – This initiative is a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Transport, Communication and Information Technology, Exceed Excellence Company, and the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI).

Initiated in 2021 under the supervision of the hospital’s Studies and Research Department, the project is set to revolutionise the diagnosis of heart diseases. It significantly reduces the time required to segment heart images from one hour to just a few minutes, enhances the accuracy of vital measurements such as ventricular volume and ejection fraction, and improves overall work efficiency. This allows medical professionals to focus more on patient care.

The launch of the AI project coincided with the graduation of 24 students from the “Najeh” Digital Competencies Camp, who specialized in Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning and Systems Engineering. This marks a significant step towards localizing advanced technologies in the Omani medical sector and fostering collaboration between various sectors.
