Metanoa, a Kerala-based cloud-based healthcare firm, said it became the first in the developmental disorder space to achieve Dubai Health Authority’s (DHA) NABIDH integration.

NABIDH is DHA’s health information exchange platform that connects public and private healthcare facilities in the emirate to securely exchange electronic health records and other health information.

“This milestone marks a significant achievement for our specialisation in solutions for autism, learning disabilities, speech delays, ADHD, and other developmental disorders,” Metanoa said in a media release.

With Metanoa striving to make a significant impact on their lives, a large percentage of these children can be transformed if the disorders are detected at an early age and effective therapy is administered, according to the 2019-founded startup, which already has an office in Dubai.

The product by the startup, backed by Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM), is gaining increasing acceptance globally, as millions of children suffer from various developmental challenges.

“As the healthcare sector faces challenges due to limited doctors and therapists, long wait times ensue for appointments and therapies,” said Vibin Varghese, CEO of Metanoa.

“Our web application for clinics streamlines tasks and allows therapists to focus more on patient care,” he said.

Varghese said Metanoa’s integrated screening tools, automated reports, and AI-based recommendations will help speed up therapy, benefiting patients with various disorders.

“For clinics, this platform translates into improved operational efficiencies, reduced administrative burdens and cost savings,” he said, adding that therapists can manage appointments more effectively, leading to better patient outcomes and increased satisfaction.

The web app also facilitates data management, ensuring secure and organised patient information, which is crucial for providing quality therapy.

Through NABIDH, the DHA aims to enhance the quality of healthcare services provided to its citizens and residents of Dubai, seeking to ensure the seamless and secure exchange of patient health information and electronic medical records across verticals in healthcare.
