The inspiring story behind the development of Zimam
In the dynamic landscape of Saudi healthcare transformation, a passionate team of experts united with an ambitious mission: Zimam – the Personalized Preventive Recommendations Tool. This isn’t just another healthcare initiative; it’s a carefully orchestrated effort to empower people in Saudi Arabia to take control of their health journey.
Our story begins with a clear recognition of opportunities in Saudi Arabia’s healthcare transformation. As the kingdom makes remarkable strides toward Vision 2030 by shifting focus to prevention and embracing a person-centric approach in healthcare, we saw an opportunity to create a smart, accessible tool that would put evidence-based preventive care recommendations directly into the hands of people in Saudi Arabia.
What makes Zimam truly unique is its robust scientific foundation. We meticulously built our recommendations on the Saudi Public Health Authority’s guidelines, enriching them with insights from renowned international sources like the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. Every recommendation is carefully crafted through a rigorous process of evidence review, expert validation, and cultural adaptation.
Zimam brings personalized care to life by tailoring recommendations to each individual’s unique profile. By considering factors such as age, gender, and specific health risks, the tool creates a customized prevention plan that speaks directly to each person’s needs. Beyond just providing recommendations, it offers comprehensive information about relevant health conditions and detailed guidance on accessing recommended services within the Saudi healthcare system. This empowers users not just with what they need to do, but also with the knowledge of why it matters and how to take action.
This is our contribution to Saudi Vision 2030 – a future where preventive care is not just an afterthought but a cornerstone of our healthcare system. Through Zimam, we’re not just building a website; we’re nurturing a culture of proactive health management that will benefit generations to come.
