Etisalat is demonstrating the innovative Mobile Baby service in collaboration with Great Connection Inc. The service will add a new dimension to mobile healthcare service delivery in the UAE by enabling remote medical diagnostics for pre-natal healthcare.

Mobile Baby will enable medical practitioners to send ultrasound images, video clips and 3D scans to referring physicians for remote medical diagnostics. The application works directly from ultrasound machines, with images delivered to any mobile phone via SMS, MMS and email. Besides being used for additional medical advice, the service will also enable expecting parents to share their pregnancy scan experience and ultrasound images of their baby with family and friends around the world at the click of a button.

“The Mobile Baby service, will enhance pre-natal healthcare through immediate availability and low-cost transmission of high-quality images and video clips from the womb, which is not only an innovative use of technology, but also relevant for our large base of expatriate customers, who might prefer to give birth to their babies in their home countries”, said Abdulla Ebrahim Al Ahmed, Senior Vice President, Business Solutions at Etisalat.

“Etisalat is also forging key relationships with companies in the medical device, pharmaceutical and health service industries to introduce innovative and relevant mobile healthcare solutions in the UAE”, said commenting on the innovative service, Abdulla Ebrahim Al Ahmed, Senior Vice President, Business Solutions at Etisalat.

Commenting on this service, Åsa Nordgren, CEO Great Connection Inc, said, “Our association is the beginning of an exciting era, where new technologies will be used to enhance the access and quality of healthcare delivery in the UAE.”
