From all the technology innovations in 20^th century, mobile has contributed the most in simplifying, transforming and redefining the relation between the patient & care provider. According to the recent ICT Facts & Figure report, 95% of the world population is connected to a mobile network. The unprecedented penetration of mobile has opened new avenues for its utilization in healthcare delivery.

The mobile cellular subscription per 100 population is one of the highest among the world. The provider has leveraged this to reach out to their patients. Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital is one of the largest private healthcare systems in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Our aim was to align to Value Based Care delivery by empowering our patients & clinicians both through this digitization.  We wanted our patients to really experience the power of “your healthcare at your fingertips – Anytime, Anywhere on Any device”

According to the WHO; nurses and midwives account for nearly 50% of the global health workforce. There is a global shortage of health workers, in particular nurses and midwives, who represent more than 50% of the current shortage in health workers. Investing in nurses and midwives is good value for money. The report of the UN High Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth concluded that investments in education and job creation in the health and social sectors result in a triple return of improved health outcomes, global health security, and inclusive economic growth. As we are already living in the era of industry 4.0 and digital transfromation, the whole nursing practice is subject to a major transformation where the advanced technology (e.g., robots and IoT) allows nurses to be more engaged in patient care while simultaneously reducing the amount of time and energy required to care for each patient. This presentation aims to answer the question on how nurses will stay relevant while facing the dramatic change in the entire healthcare industry and how surses should learn how to adapt to advancing technology and how to supplement and enhance their skills, there are ways nurses can stay relevant in a technologically advanced future.

Health Care Interoperability is Complex and Delivery System is fragmented with patients having difficulty in securing their complete medical reports from a fragmented delivery system in a simple exchange from multiple providers’ vendor platforms, multiple visits to form their comprehensive digital medical record. Human data platforms’ various format prohibit universal sharing of usable health reports with patients and each other, the same for Insurance and Social service Platforms, here PPX-TEC acts as a non threatening bridge.

Implementation of Lean in healthcare and the broader public sector are often studied. As so many authors stated, Lean started in the 1940s but it was launched in the healthcare system in 2002. At Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH) in Muscat, the current Incident Reporting System (IRS) is taking up to 9 months starting from receiving the incident till the disclosure in the concern department. The available statistics at IRS Cycle Time (CT) from 7 - 14 Working Days (WDs).

Statement of the Problem: The transformation of healthcare systems is highly complex and, as such, the health and social care authorities in charge of this system redesign are seeking support to improve their capacity for integrated care. There is a real opportunity to maximise the use of existing evidence on integrated care and ensure it is readily available to meet the needs and context of a particular health and care system. However, it is also important to recognise that the healthcare systems will have very different starting points, or levels of maturity. 

The development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the emergence of new platforms and services, can allow the development of new products and solutions and home health care and patient monitoring. These new platforms, combined with the new computing and computational intelligence capabilities, result in systems that have the capacity to estimate, monitor and control treatments, patients, controls and health care processes, in a ubiquitous manner and with permeate records. Currently, with the implementation of the new computing paradigms, such as fog and edge computing; Medicine and health are expected to obtain a great benefit derived from the development of mobile, portable and connected devices, which can acquire and communicate data on symptoms, vital signs, medications and activities of daily life, which can contribute or affect people and treatments.

Symptom Definition is the only parameters  necessary for a Symptom. As any or all other definitions, symptom definition should be describe the symptom scientifically. If it cannot describe clearly, there is no use of  a symptom  definition. A symptom is a departure from normal function or feeling which is noticed only by a patient, indicating the presence of disease or abnormality.

Statement of the Problem: Situated in the southeastern coast of Arabian Peninsula, Sultanate of Oman is to encounter a cyclone every five years. This has demanded additional efforts of emergency management. What are the characteristics associated with health institutions in Oman that have manifested resilience practices, despite the steady increase in tropical storms?

This study conducted to identify the mechanism of cell death that induced by these isolated flavonoids, either by induction of apoptosis or necrosis. Three flavonoids namely nobiletin (NOB), tectorigenin (TEC) and persicognin (PERSI) were isolated from the optimised extractable polyphenols (EPP) crude extract of date palm kernels (DPK). The effect of crude EPP, NOB, TEC, PERS and the non-extractable polyphenols (NEPP) from DPK and paclitaxel on human lung cancer A549 and human colon cancer HT29 cell lines and on the normal murine fibroblast 3T3 cell line were investigated using MTT crystal violet and trypan blue exclusion assays. The morphological changes of treated cells inspected by light inverted microscopy.
