The General Department of Medical Services within the Saudi Ministry of Interior is implementing an advanced medical capsule for security personnel during the 1445 AH Hajj season.

This cutting-edge capsule utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced communication technologies to conduct thorough medical examinations in just six minutes, as reported by the Saudi Press agency on Thursday. 

The capsule is capable of capturing 26 key physiological measurements, including height, weight, body composition, vitals, and oxygen saturation. With integrated AI, the capsule can analyze health data, facilitate remote consultations with doctors, and enable medication registration. 

This innovative technology reduces the need for hospital visits, providing a safe and private environment for on-site health screenings and consultations at various workplaces within the Ministry of Interior and the Presidency of State Security.
