- Global initiative addressing personalised and preventative health to be launched during the event
ABU DHABI, UAE, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With rising global demand for more personalised and effective healthcare solutions, the Department of Health - Abu Dhabi (DoH) , the regulator of the healthcare sector in the emirate, is hosting global leaders in health, research, policy, and technology to address the challenge of helping people to live not just longer, but healthier lives.
During the upcoming Abu Dhabi Global Health Week (ADGHW), a global initiative aimed at advancing longevity science and precision medicine will be released, expected to set a new standard for international collaboration, innovation, and investment in next-gen medical technologies.
The initiative is designed to drive the widespread adoption of personalised healthcare approaches and promote research into extending healthy lifespans. This call to action comes at a pivotal moment, as global life expectancy has more than doubled to 71 years, yet the gap between healthspan and lifespan has widened to 9.6 years, meaning many people spend nearly a decade of their lives in poor health as a result of chronic diseases.
Speaking ahead of the event, H.E. Mansoor Ibrahim Al Mansoori, Chairman of DoH stated "We are delivering personalised and preventive health solutions that empower people to live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. Because health knows no boundaries, we are inviting the world to co-create the next era of health, underpinned by collaboration, driven by data and transformative technology such as AI. From Abu Dhabi to the world, we are building an intelligent, integrated health system that scales globally and serves locally."
With world-class research institutions, strategic investments, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven medical advancements, Abu Dhabi is transforming the healthcare industry by advancing research, enabling strategic global partnerships, and ensuring equitable access to healthy life-extending medical innovations. The emirate's focus on AI-powered medical research is enhancing disease prediction and precision therapeutics, further solidifying its position as a leader in healthcare innovation.
This global leadership is built on a foundation of concrete action. Abu Dhabi's commitment to healthy longevity is already translating into impact. The emirate recently licensed the Institute for Healthier Living Abu Dhabi (IHLAD) as the world's first Healthy Longevity Medicine Centre, offering AI-enabled, personalised care to extend healthy lifespan, manage chronic diseases, and support mental well-being and lifestyle transformation. This was followed by the launch of the Healthy Longevity Innovation Forum and the introduction of the region's first regulatory framework for longevity-focused medical centres—setting a new benchmark for healthcare governance. Together with initiatives like the Healthy Longevity Symposium hosted by the Khalifa University and a growing network of global research partnerships, these efforts firmly position Abu Dhabi at the forefront of reimagining how societies approach aging, prevention, and extended health spans. The initiative, developed with and for the world, will create a roadmap that advances AI-powered diagnostics, genomics-based healthcare, and personalised treatment strategies, ensuring more people can benefit from extended healthy lifespans.
Key highlights to expect:
- Launch of a global consensus document on longevity and precision medicine
- Commitments from international stakeholders to advance AI-driven healthcare solutions
- Frameworks for integrating genomics-based approaches into mainstream medical practice
- Policy recommendations and regulatory pathways to facilitate longevity innovation
- Global strategies for ethical, equitable, and responsible medical advancements
The initiative will be a highlight of ADGHW, scheduled to take place from 15 – 17 April 2025. The three-day event provides a platform to exchange insights, address critical healthcare challenges, and build partnerships that drive meaningful progress in global health and well-being. The event is expected to attract more than 200 speakers, 15,000 visitors, 1,900 delegates and 150 exhibitors from 90 countries.
Further details regarding the initiative will be announced at ADGHW.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Roborock, the global leader in home robotics engineered to simplify daily life, became the most awarded Robotic Vacuum Brand at CES 2026, after announcing its new product line-up for the first half of the year. Under the theme "The Greatest Meeting the Greatest", the brand's keynote presentation led by Roborock's President, Quan Gang, unveiled the Saros Rover, the world's first robotic vacuum with AI-powered wheel-leg architecture that can both navigate stairs and slopes with human-like agility while cleaning them.
Announcements also included the Roborock Saros 20, Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, Roborock F25 ACE Pro, and Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow. These launches happened in partnership with Real Madrid Football Club for the Vacuum Cleaner category, announced ahead of the show's starting date.
Roborock also announced separate to the Real Madrid partnership its entry into the US market for lawnmower products, including the new RockMow X1 LiDAR. Consumers, clients, and interested parties can visit Roborock's Booth #52632 at Venetian Expo CES 2026 from January 6 to January 9th during show hours.
Roborock Saros Rover - The World's First Wheel-Leg Robovac
In a world-first, Roborock introduced at CES 2026 the Roborock Saros Rover, featuring the world's first two-wheel-leg architecture in a robovac. Each wheel-leg provides reach, lift, height, and imitates human mobility, enabling the robot to raise and lower each one of the wheel-legs independently, execute small jumps, agile turns, sudden stops, and directional changes, all while maintaining a level body as the ground changes.
At a software level, Saros Rover harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence algorithms, in conjunction with complex motion sensors and 3D spatial information to understand its environment and make its wheel-legs react with precision.
The Saros Rover excels in multi-storey homes, where it is able to clean each one of the steps of a staircase as it goes to the second floor, dramatically reducing "no-go" zones and transitioning into cleaning areas previously inaccessible for homes with a single robovac.
The Saros Rover is able to tackle several types of non-flat surfaces, with staircases being the most obvious one. This includes not only traditional staircases but also curved staircases, or even carpeted staircases with bullnose fronts, all while cleaning each one of their steps as it navigates through them. Other types of surfaces that Saros Rover is able to tackle include slopes as well as complex multi-level room thresholds requiring height and power. Saros Rover is a real product in development with an unconfirmed launch date.
The Greatest Meeting The Greatest - Roborock and Real Madrid Football Club join hands
Announced days before the show's beginning, Roborock presents at CES its first activation within the strategic global partnership with Real Madrid Football Club's First Men and First Women teams, widely ranked as one of the greatest football clubs in history. The partnership is solely related to Roborock's extensive portfolio of Vacuum Cleaner products and excludes other product lines from the brand. Under the umbrella theme of "The Greatest Meeting The Greatest", the partnership responds to a deep affinity between the brand ethos of both organizations, which have achieved remarkable historical performance with innovation as common denominator. The partnership will bring Roborock's smart-cleaning innovations to life through stadium exposure, campaigns and player-led storytelling that translate the meaning of "Real Smart Cleaning" from the pitch to the home.
Roborock's early 2026 Robovac line-up: Roborock Saros 20, Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, and Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow
At its keynote, Clarbi Lu, product marketing lead at Roborock, unveiled new smart cleaning products launching in the first half of the year. Leading the lineup are the Roborock Saros 20 and Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, the latest flagship models in the Saros Series. Saros 20 upgrades the StarSight™ Autonomous System 2.0 with enhanced AI object recognition and a new AdaptiLift Chassis 3.0 for improved threshold climbing. Saros 20 Sonic adds RetractSense™ Navigation, an ultra-slim body, and the VibraRise® 5.0 Mopping System. Both use a 35,000 Pa HyperForce® motor and a new RockDock®. The Qrevo Series also expands with the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow.
Rockmow X1 LiDAR, X1, RockNeo Q1 lead the Roborock North American Roll-Out of Lawnmowers
Roborock has announced its North American expansion into the lawnmower category with three key models. The flagship RockMow X1 LiDAR features Sentisphere™ LiDAR Environmental Perception, 4WD traction, and Active Steering for flawless coverage. Alternatively, the RockMow X1 utilizes RTK and VSLAM navigation alongside a Dynamic Suspension System for industry-leading edge cutting. For smaller gardens, the entry-level RockNeo Q1 makes smart care accessible by combining RTK + VSLAM navigation with Stereo Vision Obstacle Avoidance.
