Neurula Health is the cloud EMR from an Abu Dhabi-headquartered team — clinical records, billing and Shafafiya claims in one platform, with Malaffi data sharing and ADHICS-aligned security built in.
Last updated: 15 October 2026
In short: Every licensed healthcare facility in Abu Dhabi shares clinical data with Malaffi, the emirate's health information exchange, and handles patient data under the DoH's ADHICS cybersecurity standard. Neurula Health is a cloud EMR from an Abu Dhabi-headquartered team, built for Malaffi data sharing, Shafafiya-based claims workflows and ADHICS-aligned security from day one.
Choosing an EMR in Abu Dhabi is mostly a regulatory decision before it is a features decision. Four requirements shape it:
Neurula Health brings patient registration, scheduling, clinical documentation, e-prescriptions, lab and radiology orders, billing, insurance and a patient portal into a single patient record — so data flows to Malaffi and to payers without re-entry.
Our team is headquartered in Abu Dhabi, so implementation, training and support happen in your time zone, in English or Arabic.
Malaffi data sharing — encounter data is generated from the clinical workflow itself, not uploaded after the fact. In our multi-site deployment for a seven-clinic UAE group, Malaffi real-time sync went live with the rest of the platform.
Claims and prior authorisation — multi-payer rules, prior-auth tracking, coding assistance (ICD-10, CPT) and denial management for Abu Dhabi payers.
ADHICS-aligned security — role-based access, audit logging and encryption of patient data, designed around the DoH standard.
Emirates ID at registration — identity, insurance and consent captured once, with duplicate-record detection.
Arabic and English — multilingual patient-facing workflows, with SMS and WhatsApp appointment reminders.
Live in 6–10 weeks — from contract to go-live, including data migration and staff training.
Neurula Scribe is our ambient AI scribe. It listens to the consultation in English, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu or Tagalog, writes a structured SOAP note in English, and fills the open EMR form for the clinician to review — so documentation is complete before Malaffi and Shafafiya need it. It works with Neurula Health or any other browser-based EMR.

Yes. Facilities licensed by the Department of Health Abu Dhabi are required to connect to Malaffi and share patient data with it. Malaffi reports that every hospital in the emirate and more than 3,100 facilities are connected.
Malaffi is operated by Abu Dhabi Health Data Services, an M42 company, in a public–private partnership with the Department of Health Abu Dhabi. It launched in 2019.
Neurula Health is built to share encounter data with Malaffi as part of the normal clinical workflow, and Malaffi real-time sync is part of our go-live for Abu Dhabi facilities. During your demo we will walk through the connection and onboarding steps for your facility and put the plan in writing.
ADHICS is the Abu Dhabi Healthcare Information and Cyber Security Standard. Version 2 took effect in August 2024 and applies to healthcare facilities and to the technology and service providers that handle their health information, so your EMR vendor's controls matter for your own compliance.
UAE law restricts storing health data outside the country without permission. Neurula Health is deployed to keep patient data within the UAE; we confirm the hosting region in your contract.
Typically 6–10 weeks from contract to go-live, depending on the number of sites, data migration and integrations.
