RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, June 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSH) will highlight its practical applications of artificial intelligence during its participation at HLTH Europe 2026, taking place from June 15 to 18 in Amsterdam, showing how the technology is moving from pilot projects into tools that support faster diagnosis, better resource use, stronger operational planning, and more responsive patient care.

At the center of this work is KFSH’s Centre for Healthcare Intelligence, established in 2019 to accelerate applied AI and digital health capabilities. The centre has supported the development of 20 locally powered AI applications across medical image analysis, patient-flow management, resource optimization, and patient-experience enhancement, helping strengthen treatment planning and predictive capabilities for hospital and patient needs.

KFSH has also developed generative AI technologies that analyze patient records, clinical reports, hospital policies, and patient-flow data. By summarizing complex information and surfacing relevant insights, these tools help physicians and administrators make more timely decisions, reduce administrative burden, and focus more directly on care delivery.

The hospital’s Patient Flow and Capacity Command Centre shows how AI can deliver measurable operational impact. Using demand forecasting, real-time monitoring, and workflow analytics, the centre has carried out more than 170,000 interventions since its launch in 2021, reducing average bed waiting times from 32 hours to 6 hours and emergency department waiting times by 14%. It has also helped ensure that 90% of pharmacy and laboratory service beneficiaries receive service in under 15 minutes.

Through this practical AI model, KFSH will contribute to global discussions at HLTH Europe 2026 on responsible AI, provider transformation, and scalable digital health models.

King Faisal Specialist Hospital has been ranked first in the Middle East and North Africa and 12th globally among the world’s top 250 Academic Medical Centers for 2026 and recognized as the most valuable healthcare brand in the Kingdom and the Middle East according to Brand Finance 2026. It has also been listed by Newsweek among the World’s Best Hospitals 2026, the World’s Best Smart Hospitals 2026, and the World’s Best Specialized Hospitals 2026.
