The UAE’s First Women-Only Job Portal Officially Launches
The pioneering platform could revolutionize recruitment by catering exclusively to female professionals.
The UAE’s first women-only employment portal, Women First Jobs, has officially launched, marking a significant milestone in enhancing female participation in the workforce of the United Arab Emirates. The innovative platform, founded by Priyanka Sengar, is poised to revolutionize the recruitment landscape by exclusively catering to female professionals seeking careers in the banking, fintech, edtech, hospitality, healthcare, food, logistics, and IT sectors.
The recruitment platform’s goals align with the vision set out by Her Highness Sheikha Manal bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, President of the UAE Gender Balance Council. The council’s initiatives include:
- Achieving pay parity.
- Advancing gender equality throughout recruitment and career progression.
- Integrating gender balance perspectives.
- Fostering transparency.
Women First Jobs will also assume a crucial role in supporting corporate returnship programs by providing mentorship and training to women re-entering the workforce after maternity breaks or career hiatuses. The initiatives underscore the platform’s unwavering commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive professional atmosphere for women at all career stages.

Finally, Women First Jobs plans to allocate a substantial portion of its proceeds to global non-governmental organizations, with a primary focus on the development of women and children. The initiatives not only support localization efforts but also align with the mandates of GCC governments in areas such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), Environmental, Social, & Governance (ESG), and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

OpenAI’s ChatGPT Health Is A Private Space For Health Data
A new health mode lets the popular AI platform tap medical records and fitness apps while walling off sensitive information.
OpenAI has created ChatGPT Health, a separate space inside its chatbot platform for handling medical and wellness data. The opt-in feature starts with a small US cohort before widening out.
Health-related questions have long driven traffic to AI tools. OpenAI says over 230 million people ask ChatGPT about health or insurance each week. The new mode adds personal context to that behavior but stops short of diagnosis or treatment advice.
Users can connect records from participating US providers through b.well and link apps such as Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, Function and Weight Watchers. Some links are US-only, while Apple Health needs iOS. Once connected, ChatGPT can surface patterns in labs, summarize information ahead of a clinic visit or help map diet and exercise choices against past data.
The data sits apart from other chat information. Health has its own memories and does not spill into other conversations. Users can view or delete health memories at any time. OpenAI says this material is not used to train its models.
Security is much heavier in this section too. Health adds isolation and purpose-built encryption on top of the platform’s baseline protections. App connections require explicit permission, and disconnecting cuts the feed immediately.
“ChatGPT Health is another step toward turning ChatGPT into a personal super-assistant that can support you with information and tools to achieve your goals across any part of your life,” wrote Fidji Simo, OpenAI’s applications chief.

Physicians had input during development, though OpenAI has not detailed how that shaped the end product. The launch follows Health Bench, a dataset released in May to test models on realistic medical cases.
While currently rooted in the US healthcare ecosystem, the approach may draw interest in the Gulf and wider MENA markets as governments push digital health records and patient portals under modernization programs. Adoption will depend on whether users trust an AI assistant with such personal material and whether it fits clinical routines.
For OpenAI, the move marks a cautious step into regulated terrain and signals a shift toward sector-specific uses of generative AI.
