Gaelan Medical Reveals Smart Helmet To Treat Mental Disorders
The helmet is able to reach deep inside the brain and target a specific region through a method called transcranial stimulation.
The percentage of young adults experiencing certain types of mental health disorders around the world has increased significantly over the last decade. We can blame our increasingly digital way of life, the impact of social media, or various other social and even environmental factors. But regardless of what the root cause is, the impact is always the same: people living less satisfying lives. The good news is that there are many health-tech companies that are actively trying to treat mental disorders using state-of-the-art technology. Among them is UAE-based healthcare and beauty distribution company Gaelan Medical.
During Arab Health 2021, a global healthcare event that took place in June at the Dubai World Trade Center, Gaelan Medical unveiled its smart helmet, which uses artificial intelligence and deep transcranial magnetic stimulation to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and smoking.
“The new device uses innovative technology, which requires less time and offers maximum comfort to the patients,” said Ammar Martini, Board Directors Member and Medical Scientific Officer at Gaelan Medical.
The helmet is able to reach deep inside the brain and target a specific region through a method called transcranial stimulation, making it completely non-invasive and thus comfortable for its user.

Now that the helmet has been officially revealed to the whole world, Gaelan Medical would like to make it available to as many people as possible. “We have already built a base of integral partnerships in the region, and we look forward to expanding our relations, developing along the way a better future with care and cure,” said Bino John, Division Head at Gaelan Medical during the Arab Health 2021 event.
Hopefully, smart health products such as Gaelan Medical’s helmet will soon be not only available across the world but also affordable enough so that all people who suffer from mental health issues can use them.

Google Releases Veo 2 AI Video Tool To MENA Users
The state-of-the-art video generation model is now available in Gemini, offering realistic AI-generated videos with better physics, motion, and detail.
Starting today, users of Gemini Advanced in the MENA region — and globally — can tap into Veo 2, Google’s next-generation video model.
Originally unveiled in 2024, Veo 2 has now been fully integrated into Gemini, supporting multiple languages including Arabic and English. The rollout now brings Google’s most advanced video AI directly into the hands of everyday users.
Veo 2 builds on the foundations of its predecessor with a more sophisticated understanding of the physical world. It’s designed to produce high-fidelity video content with cinematic detail, realistic motion, and greater visual consistency across a wide range of subjects and styles. Whether recreating natural landscapes, human interactions, or stylized environments, the model is capable of interpreting and translating written prompts into eight-second 720p videos that feel almost handcrafted.
Users can generate content directly through the Gemini platform — either via the web or mobile apps. The experience is pretty straightforward: users enter a text-based prompt, and Veo 2 returns a video in 16:9 landscape format, delivered as an MP4 file. These aren’t just generic clips — they can reflect creative, abstract, or highly specific scenarios, making the tool especially useful for content creators, marketers, or anyone experimenting with visual storytelling.

To ensure transparency, each video is embedded with SynthID — a digital watermark developed by Google’s DeepMind. The watermark is invisible to the human eye but persists across editing, compression, and sharing. It identifies the video as AI-generated, addressing concerns around misinformation and media authenticity.
While Veo 2 is still in its early phases of public rollout, the technology is part of a broader push by Google to democratize advanced AI tools. With text-to-image, code generation, and now video creation integrated into Gemini, Google is positioning the platform as a full-spectrum creative assistant.
Access to Veo 2 starts today and will continue expanding in the coming weeks. Interested users can try it out at gemini.google.com or through the Gemini app on Android and iOS.
