Title:
Using Artificial Intelligence to Reduce Carbon Footprint of Healthcare Facilities
Description:
Emirates Health Services is pioneering in sustainability efforts and one of the key programs built is a first-of-its-kind AI solution to measure and reduce the carbon footprint of their health system. There were an estimated savings of 1.4 billion grams of CO2 by EHS in 2022, with the help of AI and an eHealth strategy, which is targeted for further reduction. An algorithm was designed for estimating the carbon footprint of EHS. An interactive dashboard with “C footprint simulator” provided real-time actionable insights to monitor our emissions. We strategized the reduction while the AI solution proactively identifies appointments that can be converted to an e-clinic.
