At the Dubai World Trade Centre, the hum of innovation is more than sound it’s a heartbeat.
Inside the halls of GITEX Global 2025, the world’s most ambitious minds are redefining what it means to care, connect, and create. This year, one breakthrough has moved beyond the language of machines it speaks the language of humanity itself.
AYA: The AI Nurse with Empathy at Its Core
Among the countless marvels showcased at GITEX, few innovations have stirred emotion quite like AYA, the world’s first AI-powered healthcare assistant designed to sense, understand, and respond with genuine empathy.
Developed in Dubai by Best Vision Technologies, AYA was built not just to treat xbut to care.
It bridges the gap between technology and tenderness, offering patients comfort alongside medical precision.
“We wanted to build technology that doesn’t just diagnose it understands,” explained Dr. Lina Hassan, Chief Scientist at Best Vision Technologies. “AYA listens, learns, and adapts because healing begins with empathy.”
A Revolution in Digital Healthcare
AYA’s advanced neural system allows it to analyze facial expressions, voice tone, and body language recognizing emotional cues in patients just like a human nurse. Using that data, it adjusts its tone, responses, and guidance to offer reassurance, motivation, or calmness when needed.
Whether reminding patients to take medication, guiding them through rehabilitation exercises, or providing instant translation between languages, AYA transforms care into a deeply personal experience.
What sets it apart is its ability to connect emotionally, using AI to restore one of humanity’s oldest healing powers compassion.
From Concept to Compassion
The journey of AYA began three years ago as a collaboration between Emirati engineers and medical professionals. The goal was ambitious yet clear: to design an AI system that could learn how humans feel, not just what they say.
Trained on millions of patient interactions and real clinical data, AYA’s algorithms evolved to detect subtle patterns of stress and anxiety that even experienced doctors might miss.
If a patient hesitates before answering, or their voice trembles, AYA detects the change instantly prompting it to respond with empathy-driven dialogue or alert a human caregiver.
It’s not replacing healthcare workers it’s empowering them.
“AYA doesn’t take the place of doctors or nurses,” said Dr. Hassan. “It gives them back time time to focus on care, not paperwork.”
AI That Learns, Adapts, and Heals
At GITEX Global 2025, visitors witnessed AYA in live demonstrations greeting attendees, scanning their vitals, and answering health queries in fluent Arabic and English. It even adjusted its tone depending on the person’s age or stress level.
Behind the friendly face lies a deep architecture of AI innovation:
-
Emotion Recognition Model trained on global datasets
-
Voice Sentiment Engine capable of detecting over 40 emotional states
-
Adaptive Dialogue Layer that learns with every conversation
As AYA interacts with more patients, it continuously evolves — learning local dialects, cultural nuances, and even personality traits.
It’s a vision of healthcare that’s truly human-centered.
From Dubai to the World
Entirely developed in the UAE, AYA reflects Dubai’s global vision — to lead not only in innovation but in ethical AI. Best Vision Technologies aims to deploy AYA across
hospitals, clinics, and eldercare centers across the Emirates by 2026, before expanding internationally.
In its next version, AYA will feature mobile integration, allowing users to interact through wearable devices for 24/7 monitoring and wellness guidance.
The company is also collaborating with educational institutions to use AYA in mental health programs — helping young people navigate stress and emotional wellness through AI-assisted dialogue.
A New Era of Caring Intelligence
While humanoids like Booster T1 amazed visitors w
ith agility and strength, and quadruped robots wowed with power and endurance, AYA captivated audiences with kindness.
It stood as a reminder that the future of technology isn’t just intelligent — it’s compassionate.
“True progress,” said Dr. Hassan, “isn’t about replacing people. It’s about reminding technology what it means to be human.”
The Message from GITEX 2025
As Dubai leads the world into a new age of digital transformation, innovations like AYA are shaping a future where
science and empathy
coexist beautifully.
From classrooms to clinics, from factories to families — intelligent systems are no longer just tools. They’re partners in human progress.
