At a briefing on 8 October 2026, Abu Dhabi’s Department of Health outlined anticipatory health as a focus for the Abu Dhabi Future Health Summit, scheduled for 20–22 October under the theme “To Sense is to Predict”. The initiative links genomics, precision medicine and artificial intelligence with earlier identification of health risks.

The briefing highlighted six Abu Dhabi knowledge areas: longevity, healthy living, fertility, cancer, rare diseases, and genomics and therapeutics. More than 130 speakers are expected across three days, with discussions planned on health financing, women’s health, health security and infectious-disease readiness. These are agenda and participation details; the announcement does not report clinical outcomes from a specific intervention.
