Rain Stella Technologies: Harnessing AI and Digital Records to Drive Saudi Arabia’s Healthcare Vision 2030

As Saudi Arabia accelerates its journey toward healthcare modernization under Vision 2030, digital transformation has emerged as a central pillar in reshaping patient care. Rain Stella Technologies (RST)—born from the merger of Rain’s pioneering voice-AI innovation and Stella’s expertise in cloud-based EMR and Health Information Exchange—aims to play a decisive role in this transformation. In this interview, Abbes Seqqat, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Rain Stella Technologies (RST), shares how the company is leveraging artificial intelligence, data-driven insights, and scalable digital solutions to empower providers, support policymakers, and position the Kingdom as a global benchmark for healthcare innovation.

1. How do you see the merger of Rain and Stella contributing to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals for healthcare modernization and digital transformation?

Saudi Arabia has already demonstrated its ambition to modernize care and leverage cutting-edge technology through landmark initiatives such as the SEHA Virtual Hospital and the Dr. Hua AI Clinic . The creation of Rain Stella Technologies (RST) is very aligned with these forward-looking initiatives and poised to help the Kingdom build on this national momentum – specifically, advancing the priorities of expanding e-health, enhancing quality, adhering to global standards, and positioning the nation as an international model of healthcare innovation.

RST will play a significant role in supporting Saudi Arabia’s Healthcare Sector Transformation Program . By combining Rain’s pioneering voice-AI innovation (Orva) with Stella’s cloud-EMR and HIE expertise (Equinox and Constellation), we are enabling digital health services that go beyond record-keeping to transform how care is delivered. Our solutions strengthen access to high-quality care, empower clinicians with real-time insights, and support the delivery of efficient and sustainable services.

2. Can you tell us more about Equinox EMR and how it is designed to support a wide range of healthcare providers, from small clinics to national systems, in the Kingdom?

Equinox EMR was created to adapt seamlessly to the needs of healthcare providers across GCC, from single clinics to large national implementations. Its secure, cloud-based design enables a balance of swift deployment and minimal infrastructure, while ensuring consistency and interoperability across facilities. High-growth markets like Saudi Arabia, where digital health expenditure is projected to nearly quadruple and reach $16.9 billion by 2033, need these types of solutions to meet demand efficiently without compromising on quality.

By supporting everything from virtual consultations to mobile patient data access, Equinox provides the foundation for accessible, scalable, and patient-centric healthcare while directly aligning with Vision 2030’s goals to future-proof and expand digital health services.

3. Interoperability and Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) are critical to efficient care delivery—what role do you see them playing in reshaping the Saudi healthcare landscape?

Interoperability is not only a technical requirement. Rather, it is the baseline for resilient, patient-centred healthcare systems. Without seamless data sharing, we cannot achieve continuity of care or data-driven decision-making at scale.

Vision 2030 calls for a model that can manage chronic disease growth, improve prevention, and integrate services across public and private providers. This is where Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) play a transformative role; by ensuring digital records can move seamlessly between facilities, we enable continuity of care, reduce unnecessary lab tests, and open effective new care pathways. At the same time, HIEs like Constellation enable population-wide insights that can inform more effective health policy and even predict changes in disease burden that have downstream impacts on the system’s capacity.

Our solutions are accordingly designed to integrate with Saudi Arabia’s national platforms, supporting policymakers and clinicians alike in building a comprehensive, sustainable, and internationally benchmarked healthcare ecosystem.

4. What unique value does the combined expertise of Rain and Stella bring to healthcare providers and policymakers in Saudi Arabia compared to other players in the market?

Our strength lies not just in combining AI and EMR expertise, but in how we execute. Our teams bring decades of collective regional deployment experience, ensuring efficient implementation, clinician adoption, and integration with national platforms. This ability to move from innovation to impact sets us apart and mirrors the operational acumen Saudi Arabia has already demonstrated with the SEHA Virtual Hospital, proving that when execution is done right, digital ambition can quickly have national impact.

For providers, it means faster access to tools that improve workflows and patient outcomes. For policymakers, it means confidence that investments in digital health will translate into measurable, system-wide impact. For Saudi Arabia, it directly supports the nation’s drive to be internationally benchmarked in healthcare.

5. Looking ahead, what are Rain Stella Technologies’ priorities in Saudi Arabia, and how do you envision your solutions supporting the Kingdom’s shift toward data-driven, value-based care?

Our key priorities are three-fold: scaling Equinox EMR as a national standard for digital record-keeping, integrating our surgical voice-AI (Orva) into clinical workflows to enhance perioperative efficiency, and investing in advanced data infrastructure and analytics to support predictive, preventive care models at a national scale.

Across our portfolio, our focus is on generating actionable insights that help health leaders allocate resources more effectively, measure outcomes more precisely, and shift financing toward value-based care. In this way, RST is not only enabling today’s solutions but also shaping the Kingdom’s long-term vision of sustainable, data-driven healthcare.
