Arwa Aburoura

Saudi Arabian pioneer in women's health tech innovation

Dr. Arwa Aburoura is the visionary behind Wellness Hub, Saudi Arabia's first AI-driven women's health platform launched in 2022. This telemedicine service now serves over 200,000 users across the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, providing culturally sensitive healthcare solutions for issues like maternal health and menstrual health management. Her work addresses the 40% unmet healthcare needs among Saudi women identified in a 2020 WHO study.

Aburoura's team developed an Arabic-language chatbot that provides medical advice while maintaining strict privacy protocols. The platform's success led to a $5 million investment from Saudi Venture Capital Investment Authority in 2024. Her TEDxRiyadh talk "The Future of Women's Health in Saudi Arabia" has been viewed over 800,000 times globally.
