This partnership merges Vodafone Qatar's robust connectivity, customer channels, and market presence with Digital Delmar's AI-driven healthcare ecosystem. The agreement was formalized during MWC Doha 2026 by Head of Public Sector Sales at Vodafone Qatar, Sheikh Sultan Al Thani, and Digital Delmar's CEO, Engineer Ahmed El Naggar.\n\nThe collaboration aims to investigate the introduction of various connected healthcare solutions in Qatar. These solutions include elderly care and independent living support, remote home monitoring, enterprise healthcare services, and consumer-focused services. Vodafone Qatar's extensive customer channels will be pivotal in expanding access to proactive, personalized, and connected care across homes, workplaces, and the broader community.\n\nA key aspect of this partnership is the development of Anees, a consumer solution equipped with AI capabilities to monitor older individuals and those with disabilities. Anees can predict potential falls and health issues, thereby promoting independent living and enhancing quality of life for users, while providing families and caregivers with greater peace of mind.\n\nEnterprise Business Unit Director at Vodafone Qatar, Mohamed Mohsin Alyafei, highlighted the significance of this collaboration, stating that Vodafone Qatar acknowledges the pivotal role of advanced connectivity and digital technologies in addressing the evolving needs of Qatar's healthcare sector.

He noted that the partnership with Vodafone Qatar represents a significant step toward realizing this vision. By leveraging Vodafone Qatar's advanced connectivity and extensive market reach, coupled with Digital Delmar's AI-powered healthcare technologies, the collaboration seeks to create a healthcare system that is more intelligent, seamless, and accessible.
