Mumbai: "GOQii", a pioneer in the preventive health-tech space, has announced its foray into the United Arab Emirates (UAE). UAE would be the third market for 'GOQii', after India and the UK, to establish its presence with a comprehensive Preventive Health Ecosystem and Web3-based 'Digital Health Metaverse'.

Harley International Medical Clinic will be enrolling users with diabetes on the 'GOQii Health' platform and helping them manage their diabetes. The 'GOQii Diabetes Care' programme is implemented to help people with diabetes to manage their condition and take ownership of their health with external help and expert guidance.

Each user will be onboarded on a comprehensive digital platform and would be equipped with state-of-the-art connected devices, health coaches, and doctors who will guide them to change their lifestyle and control their HbA1C levels.

Each user will have the option of creating their virtual avatar which will be connected with their GOQii Age. This would give the users a unique and fun-filled option of getting younger digitally, sharing it with their friends, and being continuously motivated to maintain their healthier selves.

Vishal Gondal, Founder, and CEO of GOQii commented: “We are excited to partner with Harley International Medical Clinic. We are focused on digital health and preventive health, delivering unique user experiences through fitness gamification and healthcare rewards. The digital health and fitness metaverse further enables real-world health and fitness to merge with the digital universe to engage end-consumers to become fit and healthy. Together, with Harley International Medical Clinic, we will help people manage diabetes and take accountability for their health with expert guidance to improve their quality of life and outcomes,”

Hala Bhat, CEO of Harley International Medical Clinic said, “We would like to support Dubai’s vision to become a global center for the metaverse, through groundbreaking and innovative technological advancements in healthcare. These would include a focused offering in preventative health care, improved patient safety, and optimal clinical outcomes for diabetes patients.”
