Saudi AI and 3D printing reduce healthcare costs
Saudi innovative initiatives and technologies in the field of disability and rehabilitation have focused on developing low-cost devices and prosthetics using artificial intelligence and 3D printing. A locally-made device was showcased to assist individuals with quadriplegia, costing approximately 700 riyals, compared to imported ones which can reach up to 15,000 riyals. It relies on respiratory simulation and automatic adaptation. Additionally, 3D printing technology has helped reduce the manufacture time of prosthetics from 20 days to just two, with users' ability to walk independently increasing to 83%. Furthermore, an AI-based technique was introduced to analyze chromosome images to accelerate genetic diagnosis. These innovations aim to lower healthcare costs and achieve tangible results in improving the quality of life for people with disabilities by translating research into market-ready products at lower prices and expanding the use of artificial intelligence in the field.
