myAster App Will Connect Patients To Doctors In 30 Minutes
The myAster app will link UAE hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers, and pharmacies, allowing rapid access to medical services.
Aster DM Healthcare, one of the largest healthcare providers in the Middle East and India, has just unveiled a version of their myAster app for the UAE market. The service aims to connect patients to general practitioners in as little as 30 minutes after making an appointment, using video conferencing to cut down on wait times.
The myAster app also provides access to hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and diagnostic centers. Users will be able to make appointments and view results 24/7, while the healthcare sector will benefit from a robust platform that joins reporting, medical histories, and other data under a single system.
So far, the app can connect 430 doctors, five hospitals, 48 clinics, and over 20 specialist medical services. As well as video consultations, myAster also features a secure payment gateway, along with access to an online pharmacy complete with a 90-minute home delivery service.
“Our users have access to 200+ Aster hospital doctors for appointment booking. The user interface is easy to navigate, and they can view doctor schedules and slots to select a doctor for consultation. As we continue to innovate, we will be adding Homecare services to the myAster app in the near future,” says Brandon Rowberry, CEO of Digital Health, Aster DM Healthcare.

The free healthcare app offers many unique features aimed at helping patients manage their health data using a smartphone, and can even be used to help with insurance approvals.
“COVID 19 actually helped us to understand what really works as far as digital health is concerned [and the] UAE has been at the forefront of managing the pandemic, so we thought about how we could move healthcare to the next level, and the way to do that is by going digital,” says Alisha Moopen, Deputy Managing Director, Aster DM Healthcare.
The Aster DM Digital Health team developed their medical portal over a two-year period, with a strong focus on enhancing patient experience. The company’s success now means that its app has the potential to improve healthcare and wellness solutions for residents across the United Arab Emirates and beyond.

The Petshop Launches UAE’s First Pet Care Super App
Dubai retailer folds shopping, bookings and pet records into one mobile hub that features reminders, personalization, and more.
The Petshop has introduced a “Super App” that pulls together shopping, service bookings and pet records into a single platform, pitching it as the first integrated pet care app of its kind in the UAE.
The release turns the company’s stores, services and e-commerce operation into one connected system. Instead of juggling calls, WhatsApp chats and paper notes, customers manage everything from one account.
Each pet gets a dedicated profile. Age, diet, medical notes and behavioral traits sit in one place and update over time. For households with multiple animals, it’s a practical fix: fewer lost details, fewer repeat explanations at the counter.
That data feeds the app’s personalization. Reminders, recommendations and service options adjust to the specific pet rather than defaulting to broad prompts.
Grooming, boarding, relocation, aquatics and wellness services are booked through the same flow. Users can check availability, lock in appointments and see past visits without hopping between tools. All of the key services can be accessed and booked with a few taps.
The company says records and documents are stored with added safeguards, including verified digital paperwork for sensitive information, while usage signals trigger timely prompts without exposing private data.
“Over the past fifteen years, we’ve grown alongside the pet community in the UAE and seen how pet ownership has evolved,” said Amr Hazem Youssef, CEO of The Petshop. “For pet families, care now depends on continuity, accurate information, and services that match real life, not isolated transactions. This app brings those elements into one place with a structure that supports reliable care”.

He added: “Pets have individual needs that change over time, and those needs shape daily decisions around routines, health, and wellbeing. By keeping information organized and connecting services within one system, we can reduce friction for pet families and deliver greater consistency across the experience.”
Founded in 2011, The Petshop now operates 11 outlets across the United Arab Emirates, including megastores in Dubai Investment Park and Abu Dhabi’s Al Reem Island, plus an online catalogue of more than 12,000 products.
The Petshop Super App is available on both the App Store and Google Play.
