Globally Healthcare sector produces 2 gigatons of CO2 globally making it 5th largest emitter of greenhouse gases. There is an urgent need for healthcare establishments in UAE to innovate to reach net zero emissions by 2050, or before.
EHS’s sustainability efforts led us to build an AI solution to measure and reduce our carbon footprint.
There were estimated savings of 1.4 billion grams of CO2 by EHS in 2022. Our AI solution combined with eHealth strategy is targeted to further reduce emissions.
Algorithm was designed for estimating the carbon footprint of EHS. An interactive dashboard “C footprint simulator” provided real-time actionable insights to ESG task force to monitor our emissions & strategize reduction.
The simulator estimated 1 billion grams of carbon emissions monthly due to patient travel to different EHS facilities for in-clinic appointments. The AI solution proactively identifies such appointments that can be converted to e-clinic benefitting both - patient & environment
