The platform also acts as a medium of communication between nurses across the UAE.

Although technology played a major role in the UAE's successful battle against the pandemic, via smartphone apps and telemedicine, the medical staff showed unprecedented resilience in testing times. From robots in Bahrain to remote consultations for infected patients in the Emirates, medtech was also used for safeguarding the frontline workers, who worked tirelessly to prevent an outbreak.

Even after the pandemic, life has become easier for doctors and nurses, thanks to digitised medical records, gadgets to assist surgeries and AI to support timely treatment. But the Emirati authorities have decided to focus specifically on the nurses working behind the scenes, with an app that'll act as a communication platform as well as educational resource for the medical staff.

The portal called 'We Care' is meant to enhance quality of life for nurses in the UAE, by prioritising their physical as well as mental wellbeing. The nursing staff can also communicate among each other, share details of their achievements and amplify success stories in the virtual realm.

Apart from interaction with colleagues and the management to provide feedback along with their concerns, the app allows nurses to expand their skill sets, by unlocking educational content. The We Care app also conducts regular monitoring of fitness among nurses to deliver timely reports, and provides moral as well as psychological support for the hardworking cadre.

Designed for sharing of information, the app encourages innovation, tracks proposals for new services, and also facilitates the discovery as well as management of talent. Live chat is available for nurses who wish to reach out regarding challenges they face in the profession, that is a crucial part of the overall healthcare infrastructure.

Thanks to gadgets that facilitate remote testing and video consultations, the pressure on medical professionals along with the staff, has been reduced significantly. Smart hospitals with solutions like an AI-backed pharmacy, have also made the job easier for nurses, who continue to benefit from futuristic tech.
