Covering a total area of 700 ha, the facility will implement a preventative healthcare approach focusing on early disease detection and rapid interventions.
The hospital will adopt a virtual care model, leveraging video conferencing technology to provide healthcare services.
Specialized services will include remote stroke management, electronic intensive care units and online consultations between healthcare providers.
According to Yesilscience, the hospital’s electronic medical records (EMR) system will use AI to analyze patient health data, providing better insights for preventative screenings and personalized medical advice.
