Vultr, SUSE & Supermicro Debut Unified Cloud-to-Edge Architecture for Global AI Scaling

Business Wire India

Vultr, the world’s largest privately-held cloud infrastructure company, in collaboration with SUSE and Supermicro, today announces a strategic architectural framework designed to solve the complexities of deploying and operating AI workloads across distributed environments.

 

As AI moves closer to the point of data creation – from manufacturing floors to retail storefronts – organizations face significant challenges in latency, cost and operational consistency. This joint initiative provides a seamless, Cloud-to-Edge pipeline that integrates high-performance hardware, localized cloud infrastructure, and unified Kubernetes management.

 

 

The partnership addresses the reality that sending all data back to a central cloud is no longer viable for real-time AI. The solution breaks down the infrastructure into three critical layers:

 

 

  • The Cloud and Near-Edge – Enterprises can deploy regional Kubernetes-based AI clusters closer to their users by leveraging Vultr’s 33 global cloud data center regions. Using Cluster API (CAPI), teams can programmatically replicate and scale environments, using high-performance NVIDIA GPUs for inference when local edge capacity is exceeded.
  • The Metro Edge – Designed for diverse edge environments with ultra low latency and low power requirements, Supermicro’s large portfolio of CPU and GPU capable edge servers and devices allows for a near-bespoke hardware + software solution. Leveraging Supermicro’s strong partnership with SUSE, these systems have been validated with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and SUSE Kubernetes Engine (RKE2 and K3s) to deploy and orchestrate distributed agents and inferencing on Vultr. These systems handle real-time workloads like computer vision and sensor data processing directly at the source.
  • The Control Layer – To manage thousands of sites without manual intervention, SUSE Edge (with SUSE Rancher Prime and Fleet) enables Git-Ops-driven workflow across cloud and distributed edge environments. When combined with SUSE AI, it ensures that the entire software stack, inclusive of security policies, model updates, and configurations, remain consistent from the core data center to the edge devices. For scenarios that extend into industrial systems, SUSE Industrial Edge builds on this model to support private, on-site deployments with deeper integration into operational environments.

 

“As AI moves into its next phase, the next challenge is data sovereignty and geographic proximity,” said Kevin Cochrane, Chief Marketing Officer at Vultr. “By combining our global reach with regional GPU acceleration, we are helping enterprises extend their primary cloud regions directly to the edge. This partnership ensures that no matter where data is created, the sovereign infrastructure to process it is already there and ready to scale.”

 

Rhys Oxenham, VP and General Manager of AI at SUSE, added, “Operating at scale is the biggest hurdle in the edge ecosystem. Leveraging SUSE’s composable and distributed hybrid infrastructure model, we layer SUSE AI on top of SUSE Edge to provide the automation needed to roll out models, updates, and security policies across the entire architecture. Alongside our partners, we are making a truly distributed, manageable AI system a reality for modern enterprises.”

 

 

Keith Basil, VP and General Manager of Edge at SUSE, added, “As enterprises push intelligence closer to where data is created, the edge becomes more than infrastructure. It becomes an operational system. With SUSE Edge providing a consistent foundation across cloud and distributed environments, and SUSE Industrial Edge extending that model into on-site deployments with Vultr infrastructure and Supermicro’s purpose-built platforms, organizations can move from insight to real-time action.”

 

 

“The edge is a demanding environment that requires hardware designed for real-time resilience and thermal efficiency. Our systems are built to handle intensive AI inference workloads in locations where traditional data centers aren’t possible. Working with Vultr and SUSE, we are delivering a solution that bridges the gap between edge hardware and a seamless cloud experience,” said Vik Malyala, President and Managing Director EMEA, SVP Technology and AI at Supermicro.

 

 

This partnership will be a focal point for upcoming industry discussions, where the companies will demonstrate how the convergence of Kubernetes and specialized edge hardware is making large-scale AI deployments practical for the first time.

Riskified Unveils Next-Generation AI Suite at Ascend 2026, Empowering Merchants with Unprecedented Visibility and Control Over Ecommerce Risk

Business Wire India

Riskified (NYSE: RSKD), a global leader in ecommerce fraud and risk intelligence, today announced a major leap forward in its AI platform capabilities, introducing a powerful suite of control and empowerment tools designed to give merchant fraud teams complete visibility into risk patterns and identity behavior, conversational AI-driven insights, and the ability to surgically tailor their risk strategies. The innovation suite was announced onstage at Ascend 2026, Riskified’s premier global summit series, taking place May 4-6, 2026, at the Conrad New York Downtown in Manhattan, NY.

 

With global ecommerce continuing to expand and losses from AI-driven fraud attacks projected to spike, particularly with the rise of agentic commerce, where AI bots may conduct transactions on behalf of consumers, accurate fraud decisions are fundamental, but are no longer enough. Today, more than ever, sophisticated fraud and risk teams need to understand the why behind every transaction and pattern, and require the autonomy to instantly adapt to threats without risking their revenue.

 

 

“For over a decade, Riskified has been laser-focused on delivering the most accurate decisions through network data and deep identity models,” said Eido Gal, CEO & Cofounder of Riskified. “But our merchants told us they need more than just accurate decisions. They want to explore what’s happening in their business in real-time, understand the context behind the data, gain insight into the identities behind it, and most importantly, take action with total confidence. We’re empowering merchants with unprecedented access to Riskified platform intelligence and the insights and ability to further tailor risk management to the needs of their business.”

 

 

Riskified unveiled the following advanced capabilities in its merchant control center that offer the most comprehensive, context-rich environment for fraud teams:

 

 

Riskified ARIA, the AI Risk Analyst

 

 

Going beyond basic chatbot add-ons and isolated investigation dashboards, Riskified ARIA (AI Risk Intelligence Analyst) gives merchants access to Riskified’s network data, model outputs, and identity signals, allowing them to better understand risk and fraud trends in their store at both a transactional level and across broader performance patterns. Riskified ARIA operates securely within Riskified’s unified platform, tapping directly into billions of network signals, cross-platform patterns, and performance diagnostics. Fraud specialists can use simple conversational language to instantly zoom in on transaction-level explainability, visualize specific performance trends, or isolate specific risk indicators. ARIA serves as an always-on risk analyst that provides risk intelligence and insight across every touchpoint of the buyer journey in plain language and in seconds.

 

 

Identity Explore 2.0

 

 

Riskified is also expanding its identity capabilities beyond transaction-level analysis. Through the latest update to Identity Explore, fraud teams can move beyond individual accounts to a full view of identity across devices and across merchants in the Riskified network. It exposes hidden accounts and connections across the network and enables visibility into behavior patterns that cannot be seen within a single merchant view, giving merchants a network-wide view of identity and activity across multiple accounts and interactions, including suspicious behavior patterns, rather than operating in isolation. Fraud teams can see all their identities in one place, apply filters to expose cohorts of fraudsters and abuse rings, not just individual bad actors, and block or tag and track them in real time. Tapping into Riskified’s massive data consortium, this approach extends across the full customer journey, allowing merchants to assess risk based on how users behave, not just what they do in a single moment.

 

 

Decision Studio Enhancements

 

 

Decision Studio allows teams to turn what they learn from Riskified ARIA, decision explainability, and Identity Explore into deployable business rules. Intelligence-based fraud rules can be created, tested in simulation or shadow mode, and deployed after full confidence in the outcome. Business rules benefit from using identity and network patterns rather than single data points from a merchant’s own store, enabling a balance between a fraud team’s understanding of their business and Riskified’s AI and machine learning models. With the new “Identity Feedback Loop,” the identity and behavioral labels created in Identity Explore 2.0 become automated triggers for dynamic business policies in Decision Studio. Using these identity-based labels, merchants can refine their rules to better distinguish between legitimate customers and risky behavior flagged by a combination of identity signals with behavioral patterns. These enhancements put fraud teams at the steering wheel, allowing them to apply their unique business DNA to risk strategy with total confidence.

 

 

Together, these capabilities reflect a broader shift in fraud prevention from isolated decisions at checkout to continuous intelligence across the full customer journey. Rather than replacing automation, Riskified is focused on making it more usable, giving teams visibility into how decisions are made and practical ways to intervene when needed without slowing down operations.

 

 

These latest releases directly address the looming pressure from AI-driven fraud and abuse. Addressing visibility gaps created by siloed investigative tools, Riskified’s unified approach – spanning account intelligence, checkout intelligence, policy intelligence, and dispute intelligence – ensures that the most comprehensive and accurate insights are always embedded directly into merchant risk management workflows. This becomes even more critical as AI and agentic interactions grow, making it harder to distinguish between legitimate users and malicious activity without a clear understanding of underlying identity and behavior.

 

 

Riskified also shared new insights from a live survey conducted among hundreds of large enterprise ecommerce leaders at Ascend 2026, representing more than $1.1T in total processing volume (TPV). The live poll looked at how the merchants are progressing in their adoption of AI-powered shopping assistants as generative AI becomes more visible in the customer experience.

 

 

When asked about their current stage of adoption, responses showed a market still in transition:

 

 

  • 12% already have a live AI shopping assistant
  • 25% are actively building their own AI shopping assistant
  • 41% are exploring their options but have not yet started building

 

Overall, 78% of merchants are already engaging with AI shopping assistants, whether they are exploring, building, or already live.

 

These results underscore a shift in ecommerce strategy as generative AI moves from backend optimization to front-end customer interaction, raising new questions around ownership of the customer relationship, experience control, and the role of external AI platforms in commerce.

About Riskified

 

 

Riskified (NYSE:RSKD) empowers businesses to unleash ecommerce growth by outsmarting risk. Many of the world’s biggest brands and publicly traded companies selling online rely on Riskified for guaranteed protection against chargebacks, to fight fraud and policy abuse at scale, and to improve customer retention. Developed and managed by the largest team of ecommerce risk analysts, data scientists, and researchers, Riskified’s AI-powered fraud and risk intelligence platform analyzes the individual behind each interaction to provide real-time decisions and robust identity-based insights.

Twilio’s Next Generation Platform: An Infrastructure Layer for Every Conversation in the Agentic Era

Business Wire India

New platform capabilities orchestrate context-rich conversations with persistent memory across multiple channels for humans and AI agents

Conversation Memory, Conversation Orchestrator, Conversation Intelligence, and Agent Connect provide the nervous system for modern customer engagement

 

Twilio (NYSE: TWLO), the infrastructure for customer engagement in the AI era, kicked off its user conference, SIGNAL, by unveiling its next generation platform capabilities for the agentic era. Generally available today, Conversation Memory, Conversation Orchestrator, Conversation Intelligence, and Agent Connect combine to turn disparate interactions into continuous, intelligent, and personal conversations across humans, agents, and systems.

 

“The agentic era is here. Agents are joining conversations alongside the people they represent, and modern customer engagement requires an infrastructure that serves both equally,” said Khozema Shipchandler, Chief Executive Officer at Twilio. “Twilio’s new platform is the foundational infrastructure layer that makes every conversation persistent, contextual, and actionable – ensuring interactions feel like part of one continuous relationship.”

 

 

An Infrastructure Layer for Every Conversation

 

 

Every business runs on conversations. Today, however, businesses frequently interact without context. Customers explain their problems on chat, then repeat them on a call with an agent that picks up with no knowledge of what came before. The interaction ends, and the cycle continues with the next interaction beginning as if the relationship never existed.

 

 

Twilio’s platform updates address these challenges directly with:

 

 

  • persistent memory across every interaction;
  • real-time context that travels with the conversation; and
  • intelligent orchestration across every channel and every participant, human or AI.

 

As a result, Twilio’s enhanced capabilities ensure that customer conversations never start from zero, are always remembered, and remain unified across channels.

 

“Most brands still treat every conversation with a customer like it’s the very first one,” said Inbal Shani, Chief Product Officer and Head of R&D at Twilio. “Twilio is changing that at the infrastructure layer, so every business built on Twilio can remember, learn, and respond like they actually know their customers.”

 

 

Brand new capabilities enabling these context-rich conversations include:

 

 

  • Twilio Conversation Memory: Delivers persistent memory across every interaction by extracting and maintaining customer history, preferences, behavior, and conversation state across every channel. Conversation Memory helps every conversation pick up where the last one left off, so customers never have to repeat themselves and every agent, human or AI, engages at the right point and with the right context.
  • Twilio Conversation Orchestrator: Turns individual calls and messages into a single, continuous conversation. A unified layer for multi-channel, multi-agent engagement, Conversation Orchestrator delivers routing, escalation, state management, and seamless handoffs between humans and AI. With Conversation Orchestrator, businesses can maintain one continuous conversation, no matter how many channels, agents, or systems are involved.
  • Twilio Conversation Intelligence: The success of Conversation Relay and Conversational Intelligence products signaled growing demand from businesses for Twilio to play a larger role in orchestrating model-agnostic AI experiences. Built from the ground up and integrated across the platform’s latest capabilities, Conversation Intelligence leverages generative AI language operators to turn live conversations into actionable, real-time intelligence that enhances human agents and triggers immediate actions like automated workflows across voice and messaging channels.
  • Twilio Agent Connect: Connects businesses’ AI agents and models directly to Twilio’s voice and messaging channels for real-time conversations. A self-hosted, model-agnostic, open source framework, Agent Connect helps handle the complex physics of communications such as real-time voice streaming, session and identity management, and agentic integrations. Businesses have the flexibility to choose and switch their preferred AI agents and models without changing their Twilio channel integration or application wiring.

 

The platform’s new capabilities are designed to serve customer engagement needs across an entire business, while also fitting seamlessly into existing tech stacks.

 

“At the center of the CPaaS, CCaaS, CDP, and AI convergence, Twilio is redefining what a Customer Engagement Platform (CEP) looks like—one that remembers, adapts, and orchestrates across every touchpoint. That combination of vision, execution, and ecosystem leverage is what solidifies Twilio’s place at the top of the category,” said Mila D’Antonio, Principal Analyst, Customer Engagement, Omdia.

 

 

A Reimagined Customer Experience

 

 

To streamline customers’ experience with Twilio’s platform, the company completely redesigned its console from the ground up. Generally available today, the new Twilio Console serves as the front door for customers – giving them a single place to log in, navigate products, and manage communications workloads.

 

 

This evolution introduces Workbench, a specialized workspace built for developer productivity, alongside an integrated AI assistant for real-time support. New and existing customers can seamlessly try Twilio products directly within the interface, making it easier than ever to explore new features while managing compliance and billing in one centralized command center.

 

 

An Expansion of Trusted Channels and Partners

 

 

In addition to new platform building blocks, Twilio today announced:

 

 

  • Twilio Email (General Availability): Available in the new Twilio Console, Twilio Email is a streamlined, developer-friendly email capability built on SendGrid technology. Twilio Email is designed for teams adding email to existing cross-channel workflows, and allows customers to add high-deliverability, scalable email to applications without the overhead of juggling separate tools and vendors. Twilio Email does not replace Twilio SendGrid, which remains as a leading email platform for high-volume transactional and marketing emails.
  • Voice AI Updates: Conversation Relay is receiving significant updates, including Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant Voice workflows, native integration of Deepgram’s real-time speech-to-text model, Flux, for semantics-aware smart turn detection, and Conversation Relay Insights for programmatic API access to latency and quality analytics.
  • Data Residency for SMS EU (Public Beta): Offers enterprises the option of managing and storing personal data associated with SMS in the EU.
  • Provider for Apple Messages for Business (Private Beta): Apple Messages for Business (AMB) allows consumers to connect with brands as easily as they text their friends, using the native Messages app already on their iPhone, Mac, or iPad. As a provider for AMB, Twilio acts as the official bridge connecting consumers with businesses – enabling orchestration of AI agents, rich content, and support all in one place.
  • Stripe Projects Launch Partner: Announced at Stripe Sessions in late April, Twilio is now a part of Stripe Projects, enabling developers and AI agents to seamlessly provision Twilio within Stripe Projects alongside other services in a single, programmable CLI workflow, complete with centralized billing and streamlined credential management.

 

Private Beta Customer and Partner Experience

 

Twilio’s new platform capabilities have been available to private beta customers since January, 2026. Notable brands such as Car Finance 247, Centerfield, and Constellation Dealerships have all seen immediate benefits as part of their initial implementations. Twilio Partners – including Apply Digital, AWS, Blacc Spot, Ciptex, Zennify, and more – have participated in a rigorous private beta and enablement program, positioning themselves to deliver these capabilities to customers from day one.

 

 

“For Centerfield, performance comes down to how well every interaction moves a customer forward. We’re capturing each conversation in real time and applying what we already know about the customer to guide our agents and AI systems in the moment. With the Twilio Platform, including Conversation Orchestrator, Conversation Memory and Conversation Intelligence, we can see what’s driving conversations so we can standardize what works, eliminate what doesn’t and continuously improve outcomes at scale.” – Aniketh Parmar, Chief Technology Officer, Centerfield

 

 

“Twilio’s vision for orchestrating context-rich conversations fundamentally redefines customer engagement, turning every interaction into a seamless and deeply personalized journey. At Ciptex, we are excited to help our customers leverage these innovations to drive smarter, more meaningful connections at a scale that was previously unreachable.” – Tom Kharchi, Chief Revenue Officer, Ciptex

 

 

“We are thrilled to introduce a transformative solution poised to redefine our industry and extend our global footprint across all Constellation dealerships. The value of this partnership is evident—our team progressed from evaluating Twilio’s agent infrastructure to realizing measurable outcomes within days. This rapid speed-to-value exemplifies the agility and innovation required to propel the dealership industry into the future.” – Richard Pineault, Director of R&D, Constellation Dealerships

 

 

“Meera.ai has partnered with Twilio since our inception to champion a conversation-first future for commerce. As the industry shifts toward real-time LLM-enabled interactions, Twilio’s platform and the new Conversations products will help us reach customers in the moment. We’re proud to scale this mission alongside Twilio.” – Vivek Zaveri, Chief Executive Officer, Meera.ai

 

 

Broadening Platform Capabilities

 

 

Twilio’s platform will continue to expand capabilities to directly address evolving business challenges across authentication and identity verification, governance, and observability. As agents become more autonomous and begin to act and transact on behalf of people and businesses, Twilio’s model-agnostic, extensible, and application-neutral platform will support businesses across their customer conversations — regardless of which model powers their agents or which systems initiate the workflow.

 

 

“Twilio’s latest platform capabilities deliver a trusted infrastructure layer for conversations; one that makes them contextual, persistent, and personal across every channel and participant, human or AI,” said Paul Nashawaty, Principal Analyst, theCUBE Research. “That foundation is increasingly critical as conversational AI scales, with 85% of consumers already interacting with AI agents in recent months1 and 68% expecting seamless, consistent experiences across channels,2 forcing enterprises to unify communications, data, and intelligence into a single, interoperable engagement layer.”

This combination of technical depth and commercial acumen positions him to scale Beneq’s commercial execution and growth across its global customer base.

 

 

Looking Ahead

 

 

Under Jason’s leadership, Beneq will accelerate strategic execution across its expanding portfolio, deepen customer engagement across North America, Asia, and Europe, and continue investing in innovative ALD solutions from R&D to HVM to deliver long-term value to customers, employees, and stakeholders.

 

 

Dr. Patrick Rabinzohn, Member of the Board of Directors, Beneq, said: “Jason brings the technical depth, the business and account management experience, and the global perspective Beneq needs at this stage of its growth. His academic background and compelling track record across the semiconductor industry positions Jason to build on the momentum the company generated especially.”

WHOOP Expands Health Platform with On-Demand Clinician Access and New AI Features

Business Wire India

 

WHOOP, the human performance company, today announced a new suite of health and AI-driven enhancements and feature updates across the WHOOP memberships, marking a major step forward in its evolution into an intelligent health platform. These updates deepen the company’s commitment to delivering highly personalized, accurate, and actionable insights. They signal the company’s expansion beyond performance optimization into clinical-grade health support.

 

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260508464188/en/

 

 

WHOOP Expands Health Platform with On-Demand Clinician Access and New AI Features

WHOOP Expands Health Platform with On-Demand Clinician Access and New AI Features

 

 

“WHOOP is a membership, and we take that seriously,” said Ed Baker, Chief Product Officer of WHOOP. “We’re always asking how we can deliver more value to our members, and these upcoming features are some of the most meaningful we’ve ever built, from bringing clinician support directly into the app to advancing our AI coaching to be more personal and actionable than ever.”

 

A Deeper Picture of Health: Clinician Access Directly in the App

 

 

WHOOP is entering the clinical health space with the introduction of live, on-demand video consultations with a licensed clinician. Launching in the United States this summer, this feature enables members to connect directly with clinicians within the WHOOP app, bridging the gap between biometric data collection and expert interpretation. Unlike traditional healthcare experiences that rely on brief, episodic snapshots, these consultations begin with a comprehensive understanding of the member’s health, powered by months of continuous data and, when available, bloodwork and medical history.

 

 

To further enhance this experience, WHOOP will now support Electronic Health Record (EHR) syncing. In partnership with HealthEx, members will be able to securely access clinical history – including diagnoses, medications, and procedures – directly within the app. This added layer of context further enhances the ability to deliver precise, individualized recommendations.

 

 

Combined with their existing data, members gain a deeper understanding of how medications, conditions, and procedures impact recovery, strain, and overall performance. This integration eliminates the need for manual tracking or fragmented systems, replacing them with a seamless, secure experience built directly into the WHOOP platform.

 

 

Together, these advancements represent a significant step toward a more connected health ecosystem where performance data and clinical insight work in tandem to inform better outcomes.

 

 

WHOOP AI Updates: My Memory and Proactive Check-Ins

 

 

WHOOP has also announced the launch of two meaningful AI advancements: My Memory and Proactive Check-Ins. My Memory provides members with a centralized place to view, manage, and shape the WHOOP AI layer and personalized coaching. Members can add, edit, or delete personal context, ensuring that insights reflect real-world circumstances and evolving goals.

 

 

Building on these memories, Proactive Check-Ins deliver timely, personalized recommendations, whether that’s prioritizing sleep ahead of a key event or adjusting training based on travel. This guidance surfaces at the right moment, without requiring manual input.

 

 

The WHOOP Journal has also been redesigned to fit naturally into how members already track their habits. Members can now log behaviors, supplements, and life events by voice or text, with WHOOP AI suggesting new items based on patterns it detects in their data. Behavior Trends visualize how those behaviors influence Recovery over time, helping members see which habits are working and which aren’t.

 

 

Together, these features create a persistent context layer that enables more intuitive, responsive coaching, without requiring members to repeat themselves or restart conversations.

 

 

Expanding the WHOOP Ecosystem Even Further

 

 

The memberships’ product roadmap includes continued investment in both AI and core performance capabilities, with several enhancements on the horizon:

 

 

  • Deeper integrations with applications you already use to train and connect with your community
  • Ongoing improvements to the heart rate algorithm—making everything on WHOOP even more accurate across activities and daily wear
  • Improvements to workout auto-detection — more accurately picking up and classifying activities without the need for manual tracking
  • Addition of Strength Trainer trends and personal records as well as a better activity tracking experience

 

 

As WHOOP continues to evolve, the focus remains clear: delivering a deeply personalized, highly accurate, and increasingly actionable health experience. By combining AI, continuous data, and clinical insight, WHOOP is redefining what it means to understand and improve human performance.

Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, made the announcement at the opening of the fifth edition of Make it in the Emirates, which follows a period that has tested the region.

 

“History remembers the challenges nations face. But it also remembers how nations respond to them and what they build next,” he said.

 

 

TA’ZIZ announced $40.5 billion worth of agreements aimed at expanding UAE chemical production capacity. The opportunities include offtakes and $2 billion of financing for the UAE’s first world-scale methanol plant.

 

 

A $270 million National Industrial Resilience Fund (NIRF) was also launched, which will create 4,000 jobs and eventually substitute up to $24.5 billion industrial imports ($820 million a year). On Sunday, ADNOC unveiled $54.4 billion in procurement opportunities and planned projects.

 

 

Billions more in deals and investments are expected throughout the week.

 

 

Dr. Al Jaber described the UAE’s departure from OPEC and OPEC+ as “a carefully considered strategic decision” aligned with the country’s long-term economic ambitions.

 

 

“It is not directed against anyone,” he said, adding that the decision “gives us greater ability to accelerate investment, expand, and create value.”

 

 

Dr. Al Jaber said the UAE’s industrial sector contribution has reached $54.5 billion, a 70% increase on 2021, while industrial exports climbed to $71.4 billion — including $25.1 billion in advanced industrial exports.

 

 

The new $49 billion offtake commitment is to be deployed over the next decade and targets sectors critical to economic, food, and healthcare security.

 

 

“Economic security cannot be imported — it must be built and protected,” Dr. Al Jaber said.

 

 

Dr. Al Jaber added: “When a vital artery such as the Strait of Hormuz is closed, it does not only affect one region – it affects the entire global economy.”

 

 

“Freedom of international navigation is non-negotiable and cannot be compromised.”

 

 

Addressing international investors directly, Dr. Al Jaber positioned the UAE as a global manufacturing platform — citing flexible regulation, advanced logistics, and connectivity to international markets.

Department of Health – Abu Dhabi and ŌURA Partner to Advance Preventive Health in Abu Dhabi

Business Wire India

 

Department of Health—Abu Dhabi (DoH) and ŌURA, maker of the world’s leading smart ring, Oura Ring, today announced a joint research programme to study how continuous wearable data can advance preventive health. The collaboration marks the beginning of a long-term partnership to advance Abu Dhabi’s prevention-first, data-driven healthcare agenda, and will initially focus on women’s health and cardiometabolic risk.

 

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260507073495/en/

The collaboration builds on Abu Dhabi’s advanced public health infrastructure and longitudinal health data assets, integrating them with ŌURA’s real-time, continuous insights across key health indicators. Together, this creates a strong foundation for understanding health at a population level, enabling the identification of risk factors and supporting a shift from reactive care to more proactive, personalised intervention. The depth of Abu Dhabi’s longitudinal data further strengthens its potential as a platform for population health research, offering deeper insight into how conditions such as obesity, prediabetes, cardiovascular disease, and maternal health risks emerge and evolve.

 

Initially centred around women’s health, the partnership will explore key research pathways focused on preconception health and perinatal care, supporting the development of more targeted early interventions and improving health trajectories for women, families, and the wider population. The collaboration will also explore other key areas of health, including metabolic and cardiovascular conditions, with a clear ambition to scale successful insights and interventions beyond initial focus areas over time.

 

 

The partnership will be supported by robust data governance principles, including data minimization, transparent data processing and secure storage in line with applicable regulations and international best practices. All use of identifiable data will be strictly controlled, with access governed by jointly defined ethical and regulatory standards.

 

 

HE Mansoor Al Mansoori, Chairman of the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi, and Tom Hale, CEO of ŌURA met in LA, USA this week to formally launch the partnership and align on the next phase of advancing prevention-led, data-driven healthcare.

 

 

HE Al Mansoori commented: “The future of health will be defined by sensing and the ability to understand the body continuously, in real-time, and at population scale. Abu Dhabi has built an intelligent health system designed for this shift. Bringing real-world wearable data into the clinical setting, underpinned by strong data governance frameworks that ensure privacy and responsible use of health data.

 

 

“Advancing women’s health and fertility is a key priority for Abu Dhabi, and together with ŌURA we are starting where continuous insights have the greatest power to detect risk earlier and create more personalised care across the life course – for mothers, babies, and families. This partnership brings together one of the world’s most advanced population health datasets with continuous wearable insights at scale, creating a unique opportunity to redefine how prevention is delivered in real-world settings.”

 

 

Tom Hale said: “Abu Dhabi is setting a powerful example for how nations can embed prevention and innovation into the future of healthcare. Partnering with the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi will allow us to build a meaningful preventative health model that is grounded in data, scientific rigor and privacy. It’s one of many upcoming initiatives we’re committed to across the region, and an important step in our long-term partnership with Abu Dhabi.

 

 

We’re starting with women’s health, because the health of women is the health of families, and the health of families is the health of the nation. But this partnership is just the beginning — our ambition is to develop a model here that can inform preventive care globally.”

 

 

The agreement marks a significant milestone in ŌURA’s continued expansion across the UAE and wider Gulf region, as the company deepens its presence through strategic partnerships, locally relevant research, and innovation aligned with the UAE’s emergence as a world leader in prevention-led healthcare and long-term wellbeing.

 

 

The next phase of the partnership will focus on pilot design, ethics approvals, and local evidence generation, creating a clear pathway toward broader integration within Abu Dhabi’s health system.
