NAS United Healthcare Services, a UAE-based third party administrator, has decided to deploy Sensely’s virtual health assistant technology to boost engagement and communication channel with its members.
Under the terms of the three years agreement, NAS will use Sensely’s software development kit (SDK) to launch unique patient navigation solutions across both mobile and web platforms to 1.2 million members.

Locally appropriate variants will be built for the Middle Eastern market for which content will be made available in both English and Arabic.
The platform will features a number of member-facing functions such as symptom checker, provider search, appointment booking and prescription refill.
The symptom check feature includes clinically-validated algorithms developed by Mayo Clinic, and directs the member to the suitable action plan based on the reported symptoms.
Patient navigation tools deployed at scale can produce increased efficiencies in a safe, reliable, and secure manner by directing resource recommendations algorithmically, according to Sensely.
