In a bold stride towards transforming healthcare delivery, Persivia, a U.S.-based AI healthcare leader, has officially launched its National Health Intelligence (NHI) Initiative in Saudi Arabia. Unveiled during the Global Health Exhibition (GHE) 2025, the initiative aims to leverage artificial intelligence, advanced data analytics, and population health insights to accelerate the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 healthcare ambitions.
This move marks a significant step in the country’s journey towards a data-driven, sustainable, and patient-focused healthcare system. With Persivia now licensed by the Ministry of Investment, its presence signals a long-term commitment to localisation, technology transfer, and workforce development in Saudi Arabia.

Bridging Technology and Healthcare Expertise
Dr. Mansoor Khan, Persivia’s CEO, emphasised that the initiative goes beyond technology deployment. “Saudi Arabia is building one of the most forward-thinking healthcare systems globally. With the NHI Initiative, we’re providing not only AI tools but also clinical insight and strategic expertise to support smarter decision-making, better outcomes, and sustainable growth,” he said.
At the core of Persivia’s strategy is its patented AI Engine, designed to analyse large-scale health data in real time. The engine employs a “growth loops” methodology, where AI learning continuously informs healthcare performance, creating a feedback cycle that improves models, policy alignment, and overall system efficiency.
By enabling policymakers and healthcare providers to access evidence-based intelligence, the NHI Initiative is set to optimise resource allocation, improve patient outcomes, and enhance economic sustainability in the Kingdom’s healthcare sector.
Strategic Collaborations with Saudi Health Leaders
During GHE 2025, Persivia’s leadership engaged with top Saudi entities, including the Ministry of Health, Health Holding Company, Saudi Data & Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), Council of Health Insurance, and the NEOM Investment Fund. Discussions focused on aligning AI models with national priorities, including value-based care, population health, and AI governance frameworks.
Waleed Mattar, Persivia Saudi Partner, highlighted the importance of collaboration: “Our work here is about partnership—building capabilities that last and empowering the next era of healthcare intelligence. We are committed to aligning our technology with Vision 2030 goals to create a lasting impact.”
The company also sponsored the NextGen Pitch Competition, supporting local innovators and startups driving the future of digital health in Saudi Arabia, further strengthening the ecosystem for AI-driven healthcare.
Transforming Saudi Healthcare for the Future
Persivia’s NHI Initiative exemplifies the Kingdom’s commitment to using technology and innovation as catalysts for healthcare reform. By integrating AI analytics with national health data, the framework will provide actionable insights to guide policy, improve operational efficiency, and ultimately enhance patient care.
With Vision 2030 emphasising a transition to Value-Based Care (VBC), Persivia’s initiative is strategically positioned to help the Kingdom achieve a sustainable, patient-centric healthcare system. The focus on AI-driven intelligence ensures that decisions are backed by data, helping reduce inefficiencies, improve care quality, and promote long-term economic sustainability.
As Saudi Arabia embarks on this transformative journey, Persivia’s NHI Initiative promises a smarter, more responsive, and future-ready healthcare landscape, setting a global benchmark for AI-powered national health systems.
