3 Trends shaping the Future of Healthcare in Middle East

3 minutes read

A few years ago, UAE appointed the country’s first Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence. Middle East region has been progressive in the adoption of technology. According to a recent report published by Dealroom and EMERGE GHI, the health-tech startup ecosystem in the MENA region is now worth over $1.5B, a 22x increase since 2016. 

 Health Tech Investment in Middle East

As of now, domestic and international investors have raised $930 million. And this number will continue to go up in the coming years. With so much fund pooling in, tech innovations will continue to drive the healthcare industry. 

Let’s look at the 3 Trends shaping the Future of Healthcare in Middle East: 

  1. Telemedicine dominates when it comes to venture capital investment: Telemedicine has gained the most attention from venture capitalists in the last two years. To increase the market penetration in remote locations, telemedicine service providers have been offering a 360-degree solution to help patients. Essal- a health tech startup in MENA raised $1.7 million as it plans to expand its reach across the Middle East by investing in product development and growing its workforce. The company offers a platform that allows users to connect with consultants and seek answers to their concerns. 
  1. The deployment of AI is gaining speed in the Middle East. AI-aided Super Agents can ‘engage to win’ customers with 63% more success, reveals Mantra Labs’ latest report. Agents empowered by AI can increase productivity and boost sales performance — like the customer’s email, appointment history, or why they last reached out. Health experts are working on AI-based solutions to improve the patient experience and their operational efficiency and productivity. According to PwC, AI’s overall contribution to the public sector in the Gulf region would be $59 billion by 2030, including health and education. The government in the region also announced the National AI Strategy 2031 to bring AI tools and technology to sectors including healthcare. Altib-Middle East’s largest AI-based digital health platform raised $44 million to develop a fully integrated primary care, offering accessible value-based solutions in accordance with Saudi Vision 2030 and Egypt’s Ministry of Health and Population. 
  1. Increasing focus on digital infrastructure in the healthcare sector: According to the EMERGE GHI report, the GCC region had the highest healthcare infrastructure investments, with a major increase in the number of hospitals and beds between 2010 and 2020. Annual investment in healthcare digital infrastructure is likely to grow from $0.5B to $1.2B in the next two years, a 10% to 20% rise compared with the previous years of 3% to 4%. This will create numerous opportunities for startups to invest in digital solutions in the healthcare industry. 

Conclusion: 

The Middle East has become a major interest area for venture capitalists in the last two years. The government in the Gulf region is also investing heavily in technology to improve the patient experience. A $250 million iGan Arabia fund will drive MedTech innovation in MENA region to explore investment opportunities in AI/Cloud-enhanced medical devices and digital health technologies. Investment in CX technology will increase as 74% of organizations in the region plan to invest more than $200,000 in 2022, reveals the latest intelligence report. With such significant investments in the health tech world, digital healthcare innovation will ramp up, providing plenty of opportunities for start-ups to innovate and improve patient experiences.

NPS in Insurance Claims: What Insurance Leaders Are Doing Differently

Claims are the moment of truth. Are you turning them into moments of loyalty?

In insurance, your app interface might win you downloads. Your pricing might drive conversions.
But it’s the claims experience that decides whether a customer stays—or leaves for good.

According to a survey by NPS Prism, promoters are 2.3 times more likely to renew their insurance policies than passives or detractors—highlighting the strong link between customer advocacy and retention.

NPS in insurance industry is a strong predictor of customer retention. Many insurers are now prioritizing NPS to improve their claims experience.

So, what are today’s high-NPS insurers doing differently? Spoiler: it’s not just about faster payouts.

We’ve worked with claims teams that had best-in-class automation—but still had low NPS. Why? Because the process felt like a black box.
Customers didn’t know where their claim stood. They weren’t sure what to do next. And when money was at stake, silence created anxiety and dissatisfaction.

Great customer experience (CX) in claims isn’t just about speed—it’s about giving customers a sense of control through clear communication and clarity.

The Traditional Claims Journey

  • Forms → Uploads → Phone calls → Waiting
  • No real-time updates
  • No guidance after claim initiation
  • Paper documents and email ping-pong

The result? Frustrated customers and overwhelmed call centers.

The CX Gap: It’s Not Just Speed—It’s Transparency

Customers don’t always expect instant decisions. What they want:

  • To know what’s happening with their claim
  • To understand what’s expected of them
  • To feel heard and supported during the process

How NPS Leaders Are Winning Loyalty with CX-Driven Claims and High NPS

Image Source: NPS Prism

1. Real-Time Status Updates

Transparency to the customer via mobile app, email, or WhatsApp—keeping them in the loop with clear milestones. 

2. Proactive Nudges

Auto-reminders, such as “upload your medical bill” or “submit police report,” help close matters much faster and avoid back-and-forth.

3. AI-Powered Document Uploads

Single-click scans with OCR + AI pull data instantly—no typing, no errors.

4. In-the-Moment Feedback Loops

Simple post-resolution surveys collect sentiment and alert on issues in real time.

For e.g., Lemonade uses emotional AI to detect customer sentiment during the claims process, enabling empathetic responses that boost satisfaction and trust.

Smart Nudges from Real-Time Journey Tracking

For a leading insurance firm, we mapped the entire in-app user journey—from buying or renewing a policy to initiating a claim or checking discounts. This helped identify exactly where users dropped off. Based on real-time activity, we triggered personalized notifications and offers—driving better engagement and claim completion rates.

Tech Enablement

  • Claims Orchestration Layer: Incorporates legacy systems, third-party tools, and front-end apps for a unified experience.
  • AI & ML Models: For document validation, fraud detection, and claim routing, sentiment analysis is used. Businesses utilizing emotional AI report a 25% increase in customer satisfaction and a 30% decrease in complaints, resulting in more personalized and empathetic interactions.
  • Self-Service Portals: Customers can check their status, update documents, and track payouts—all without making a phone call.

Business Impact

What do insurers gain from investing in CX?

A faster claim is good. But a fair, clear, and human one wins loyalty.

And companies that consistently track and act on CX metrics are better positioned to retain customers and build long-term loyalty.

At Mantra Labs, we help insurers build end-to-end, tech-enabled claims journeys that delight customers and drive operational efficiency.
From intelligent document processing to AI-led nudges, we design for empathy at scale.
