For millions of people around the world, managing a metabolic disease can be emotionally challenging and complex. Metabolic issues are difficult to treat because they often require foundational behavioral changes combined with clinical interventions based on accurate medical data.

meta[bolic], a Dubai-based hybrid therapeutics company dedicated to managing chronic metabolic disease, aims to help people to better manage their metabolic health by partnering with ŌURA, the startup behind the Oura Ring — a smart wearable that delivers health data, and daily guidance into sleep, activity, readiness, and recovery.

“Wearables have come a long way in just the past few years,” explained Ali Hashemi, co-founder and chief executive officer of meta[bolic]. “Oura Ring is a step above the wearables of yesterday in terms of data fidelity and quality, but also in terms of interface and useful insights delivered to users. We are eager to bring ŌURA’s continuous monitoring and daily engagement to our patients, unlocking new capabilities around preventive care, behavior change, and habits”.

The partnership between ŌURA and meta[bolic] aims to empower patients with robust support and continuous remote data monitoring. By consistently tracking patient progress and identifying behavior patterns, the initiative will become a first step in a more integrated approach to preventive care.

“At ŌURA, we envision a future where the model for preventative care is multi-faceted and unique to each individual,” added Tom Hale, Chief Executive Officer of ŌURA. “True innovation in healthcare is driven by providers who are implementing multidimensional care and using integrated technology to empower people to make changes to their daily behavior that improve health and well-being”.

The  ŌURA and meta[bolic] partnership will also include a dedicated research program to explore the relationship between sleep, stress, and metabolic health. The resulting data will provide useful biomarkers to measure how engagement levels and sleep impact glucose improvement.

The results of the research are expected within 12 months and will act as a framework for approaching metabolic health in a more comprehensive way while generating valuable insights for the scientific community and members of the public.

uae prepares to launch two satellites thuraya-2 and mbz-sat

HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, chaired the first meeting of the Supreme Space Council in Dubai on December 16, 2024. The session highlighted the UAE’s ambitious space plans and took stock of the sector’s economic progress.

The council emphasized the growing role of private companies in advancing space technologies, noting that their contributions are now equal to that of the public sector. Members also praised initiatives like the Space Economic Zones Programme, which are designed to fuel innovation and investment in the space industry.

Discussing the UAE’s space journey, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum remarked, “The national space sector continues to grow and advance, and we take immense pride in the remarkable achievements we have accomplished over the years”.

Sheikh Hamdan also received updates on two upcoming satellite projects: Thuraya-2 and MBZ-SAT. Thuraya-2, developed by Space42, is slated for launch this December. Meanwhile, the MBZ-SAT, created by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), will soon follow. MBRSC, a major driver of the UAE National Space Programme, continues to lead the nation’s space-related developments.

Space42 took the opportunity to showcase its advancements, including ongoing collaborations between public and private entities. The company also outlined strategies to promote innovation, boost revenue streams, and create new opportunities for growth in the sector.

The UAE’s current projects build on a growing legacy of space exploration. Back in 2020, the nation made headlines with its Mars mission, successfully sending a probe into the planet’s orbit in 2021. This mission, which is now in its second phase as of June 2024, has been collecting critical data to develop a comprehensive diurnal image of Mars.

The UAE also ventured into lunar exploration with an unmanned mission aimed at studying untouched regions of the Moon’s surface. While the probe ultimately crashed during its landing attempt after communication was lost seconds before touchdown, the effort represented a significant step in the country’s exploration ambitions.
