DUBAI, UAE – October 10, 2025

IOTECH Consulting, a leader in digital transformation and IoT innovation, and Strategic Systems International (SSI), a globally renowned technology solutions provider with deep expertise in AI, cloud, and enterprise systems, today announced a landmark strategic partnership. This collaboration is poised to redefine the healthcare landscape across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region by delivering next-generation, AI-powered solutions that tackle the most pressing challenges in patient care, operational efficiency, and clinical intelligence.

The alliance combines IOTECH Consulting proven prowess in IoT integration, data orchestration, and smart infrastructure with SSI’s formidable strength in artificial intelligence, advanced data analytics, and large-scale healthcare implementations. Together, the companies will offer a comprehensive suite of integrated solutions designed to build the “Smart Hospitals” of the future

“Partnering with SSI marks a significant milestone in our mission to drive tangible digital transformation in the healthcare sector,” said Christopher Kunney, Managing Partner at IOTECH Consulting. “SSI’s deep domain expertise in AI and their proven track record with global healthcare systems perfectly complement our IoT and connectivity core. This synergy allows us to offer holistic solutions that don’t just collect data, but turn it into actionable, life-saving intelligence. We are excited to jointly empower healthcare providers in the GCC to achieve unprecedented levels of operational excellence and patient outcomes.”

The joint portfolio will focus on several key innovative areas:

• AI-Driven Patient Flow & Operational Intelligence: Leveraging predictive analytics and IoT sensors to optimize patient journeys, reduce wait times, and predict admission rates for optimal staff and resource allocation.

• Smart Clinical Decision Support: Integrating real-time data from clinical devices and EHR systems with AI models to provide clinicians with predictive insights for early intervention and personalized treatment plans.

• IoT-Enabled Asset & Inventory Management: Utilizing IoT networks for real-time tracking of critical medical equipment, automated inventory restocking, and predictive maintenance, ensuring resources are always available when needed.

• Unified Data Fabric & Interoperability: Creating a seamless data layer that breaks down information silos between disparate hospital systems (EHR, PACS, LIS, ERP), enabling a single source of truth for advanced analytics.

• Intelligent Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM): Deploying scalable platforms for continuous, AI-powered monitoring of chronic disease patients outside the hospital, improving care quality and reducing readmission rates.

“Healthcare in the GCC is at a pivotal moment, with national visions like Saudi Vision 2030 and the UAE’s Centennial 2071 emphasizing a technology-driven future for the sector. Our collaboration with IOTECH Consulting is a direct response to this opportunity,” said Jamal Hashmi, Head of MENA at Strategic Systems International (SSI). “By combining forces, we are not just implementing technology; we are building a foundation for continuous innovation. Our joint ‘Build-Operate-Innovate’ model ensures that our clients are equipped not only for the challenges of today but are pioneers in the healthcare landscape of tomorrow.”

This partnership underscores a shared commitment to advancing the GCC’s healthcare infrastructure, supporting both public and private providers in their journey towards enhanced patient care, operational resilience, and data-driven leadership.
