Artificial intelligence for digital health
SDM builds artificial intelligence that helps health practitioners across the Kingdom find chronic disease early, starting with the eye.
سدم means nebulae
Out of countless points of light, a clear picture. SDM turns medical images and clinical data into early answers, so practitioners can act before chronic disease takes hold.
To transform the digital health industry into an innovative, efficient and sustainable ecosystem that delivers intelligent, accessible healthcare for all.
To implement and continuously advance state-of-the-art AI solutions for the detection of chronic diseases.
Each product answers one clinical question, quickly and at scale, inside the workflow clinicians already use.
01 Diabetic retinopathy screening
Saudi Advanced Automated Retinal Image Analysis
A standard retinal photo from the fundus camera already in the clinic. No new infrastructure.
Each eye is analysed independently for diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema, in minutes.
One structured report in Arabic and English: DR stage, macular edema, and a clear next step, from routine follow-up to urgent referral.
02Clinical documentation
AI clinical assistant
An AI clinical assistant for the whole visit. Before it, history and past labs reach the doctor with out-of-range values flagged. During it, MUNIR listens in Saudi dialect, English or a mix, and turns the conversation into a structured SOAP note. After it, patients can ask a chatbot about their own visit.
02Breast cancer screening
Saudi Automated Mammogram Image Analysis
SAMIA is our research programme for breast cancer screening. It is being built to read each mammogram as it is captured, mark masses and calcifications, and give the radiologist density, BI-RADS category and probability of malignancy, side by side with the original scan. The decision will always stay with the doctor.
Also from SDM Diabetic Advisor, an AI companion that gives people living with diabetes personalised guidance and education for day-to-day self-management.
Next from our R&D
The retina is a window onto the whole body. Our next models read the same image for more than diabetes.
Screening retinal images for optic-nerve damage, the leading cause of irreversible blindness.
Reading signs of high blood pressure in the retinal vessels, from the same photo used for diabetic screening.
Looking for markers of heart and stroke risk in the retina.
We are bringing our AI onto compact edge devices, so screening can happen on-site, right next to the camera.
Tell us about your programme and we will arrange a demo of SAARIA.
