PureHealth launches AI‑embedded clinical curriculum

PureHealth said on June 2 that it had launched the University of Nicosia campus in Athens, introducing a clinical education model that builds artificial intelligence, data analytics and digital health into core training. The company said the program is intended to prepare clinicians for work in integrated, technology-enabled care settings. The launch was announced by PureHealth and the Abu Dhabi Media Office, and the University of Nicosia’s Athens campus site identifies the branch as UNIC Athens in Elliniko, Greece. ### What actually opened in Athens? PureHealth said the new site is the University of Nicosia campus in Athens, launched through its Greek subsidiary. The company described the campus as a healthcare education hub rather than a short-course training center, with technology skills embedded in formal clinical instruction. UNIC Athens says it is the University of Nicosia’s branch campus in Greece and is located in Elliniko, with teaching spaces, laboratories and industry partnerships. (purehealth.ae) The university’s Athens pages say the campus is designed for study, research and professional development in healthcare and technology. ### What is different about the curriculum? PureHealth said the model embeds artificial intelligence, data analytics and digital health into core clinical training. (purehealth.ae) That wording matters because the company did not describe those subjects as optional add-ons; it said they are part of the main curriculum for training clinicians. The University of Nicosia’s broader academic materials also point to an institutional focus on AI and health. (unic.ac.cy) The university says its research includes the use of artificial intelligence and related technologies to improve health span and longevity, while a separate April post from its AI Learning Centre described hands-on faculty and staff training on the university’s AI platform, Evolve, at the Athens campus. (purehealth.ae) ### Why is PureHealth involved in a campus in Greece? PureHealth said the Athens launch came through its Greek subsidiary, linking the project to the group’s expanding presence in Greece. In 2024, Abu Dhabi Media Office said PureHealth acquired a 60% stake in Hellenic Healthcare Group, the largest private healthcare provider in Greece and Cyprus, in a deal valuing HHG at $2.3 billion. (unic.ac.cy) That existing footprint helps explain the education tie-up. The University of Nicosia says its network includes 16 hospitals and clinics and that academic and clinical training are integrated across its system in Greece and Cyprus. ### How does this fit with PureHealth’s wider technology push? PureHealth has been rolling out AI and digital-health projects across its network in recent weeks. In May, the company announced the pilot of Nada, an AI-based assistant for doctors’ clinical notes, and separately announced a Centre of Digital Health in Abu Dhabi with the Department of Health-Abu Dhabi and G42 Healthcare. (purehealth.ae) (unic.ac.cy) PureHealth’s 2024 annual report also said the group was integrating robotic process automation, artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics across its ecosystem. That makes the Athens curriculum launch part of a broader company effort to link workforce training with digital clinical workflows already being introduced in care delivery. (purehealth.ae) ### Who showed up at the launch? The Abu Dhabi Media Office said the inauguration ceremony was attended by senior government and institutional leaders, though the release excerpt available publicly did not list all participants by name. The office said that attendance reflected the initiative’s national and regional significance. (purehealth.ae) UNIC Athens’ public site says prospective students can already find campus and admissions information for its health offerings in Elliniko. PureHealth and the university have not yet, in the materials reviewed, published a separate detailed course-by-course breakdown of the new AI-embedded clinical curriculum.
