Transforming Diabetic Foot Care in Saudi Arabia
In partnership with the Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia, Amplifai Health MINDS recognition reflects the company’s AI-powered thermal imaging solution for diabetic foot risk screening, which has achieved remarkable clinical and operational results. The technology addresses a critical healthcare challenge affecting millions of diabetes patients worldwide.
The implementation has delivered three breakthrough outcomes that demonstrate the power of responsible AI deployment:
- Up to 80% reduction in treatment costs associated with diabetic foot complications
- 12× increase in screening capacity without proportional increase in specialist workforce
- Clinical validation and regulatory approval with deployment in operational healthcare environments
These results showcase how AI can empower clinicians, expand access to care, and improve health system performance while maintaining high standards of patient safety and clinical effectiveness.
Global Recognition for Real-World Impact
“The World Economic Forum’s MINDS Programme spotlights AI solutions that are not only innovative, but also grounded in societal needs.
