DUBAI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 9, 2026--
Zoya Technologies today unveiled ZoyeMed 3.0, an edge-native clinical terminal designed to deliver autonomous primary and acute care with humans in the loop. Presented at WHX Dubai 2026, the system combines on-device artificial intelligence, multimodal sensing, point-of-care testing, and longitudinal patient modeling to support high-fidelity diagnostics without reliance on continuous cloud connectivity.

ZoyeMed 3.0 represents a significant architectural shift from earlier generations of ZoyeMed systems. While previous versions established a dense clinical sensorium, version 3.0 introduces a closed-loop, edge-first architecture that separates real-time safety and triage from higher-order reasoning, enabling longitudinal modeling over time. This approach allows care delivery to remain functional in environments with limited bandwidth, staffing constraints, or intermittent connectivity.
Since 2025, Zoya Technologies has shipped 44 ZoyeMed 1.0 units, with deployments underway in Mexico as part of a broader multi-phase contract covering up to 300 units. In Colombia, the company has signed agreements for 64 units per year over a three-year period. The first ZoyeMed 3.0 unit has already been delivered to Bogotá in preparation for pilot deployment following the WHX Dubai unveiling.
Unlike telemedicine platforms or AI copilots layered onto existing hospital systems, ZoyeMed 3.0 is designed as physical healthcare infrastructure, integrating diagnostics, decision support, and follow-up into a compact, on-site clinical unit. The system is intended to reduce cognitive load on clinicians while extending access to consistent, protocol-driven care at scale.
“ZoyeMed 3.0 moves clinical intelligence closer to the patient,” said Dr. Syed Sabahat Azim, Chief Executive Officer of Zoya Technologies. “By operating at the edge, the system is designed to function reliably even when connectivity is limited, while building a longitudinal view of patient health over time.”
Following the WHX Dubai unveiling, Zoya Technologies plans staged deployments of ZoyeMed 3.0 across Latin America, the Middle East, and South Asia.

DENVER (AP) — Brent Burns took a wayward stick to the face while playing for San Jose in October 2013 that ended up costing him teeth and time on the ice.
Since his return — Nov. 21, 2013, to be precise — he's been a permanent fixture in every lineup. Burns, now 41 years old and with the Colorado Avalanche, is set to play in his 1,000th straight regular-season game Saturday at Dallas.
The bearded blueliner has skated through the bumps and bruises that come with delivering checks and deflecting slap shots. So much so that Avalanche coach Jared Bednar can’t wait to one day sit down with Burns and discuss all the ailments that may have kept many a player sidelined for days, weeks and maybe even months.
“He plays through them like it’s not a big deal,” said Bednar, whose team currently owns the NHL's top seed with eight games remaining, including the pivotal contest with the Stars (six points back). “(The streak) is an incredible accomplishment. It’s hard to believe.”
For Burns, it's a streak that's involved plenty of good fortune along the way.
“You've got pucks flying around your head that you don’t see, skates popping up, guys falling on the ice,” Burns said Friday after practice. "There are so many little things that happen 100 times a game. Or you look at your visor after a game, it’s all marked up. It’s a tough game.
"It’s special to think back about some of the games that I went through that I probably shouldn’t have been (in), but I think that’s what makes it special, too. ... A lot of luck — probably why I hate talking about it.”
Burns, who turned 41 on March 9, joined the Avalanche on a one-year deal this season to chase the only thing missing from his resume — a Stanley Cup title.
He's become another leader/mentor on the Avalanche. He still chips in goals, too, on a high-scoring team that boasts Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar and Martin Necas. Burns has 11 tallies this season, joining Hall of Famer Nicklas Lidstrom as the only defensemen in league history to notch double-digit goals at 40 or older.
But Burns' specialty remains putting his 6-foot-5, 228-pound frame to good use on opponents who venture into his territory. That’s what makes his streak so remarkable — all the punishment he dishes out and takes. He’s closing in on the all-time ironman streak held by forward Phil Kessel, who played in 1,064 consecutive regular-season games from Nov. 3, 2009, to April 13, 2023.
“What Phil did was incredible,” Burns said. “He’s such a cool character to have that (record), too."
It’s a streak Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog fully appreciates. Landeskog missed three full regular seasons after helping the Avalanche to the 2022 Stanley Cup title because of a lingering knee injury.
“He comes to the rink with a great attitude," Landeskog explained. "He wants to be here. He’s excited to come to work.”
Burns also arrives to the rink lugging around his military-style backpack that’s stuffed with everything necessary to keep him on skates. There’s a cloud of mystery surrounding the precise contents of the heavy pack, though. Whatever it may contain — rumors of recovery gear to his own coffee setup — there's no denying it's become a healing elixir. Burns is in his 22nd NHL season and about to play in his 1,572nd career contest Saturday. The 2016-17 Norris Trophy winner is still averaging nearly 19 minutes a game and has 83 blocked shots this season.
The streak certainly impresses goaltender Scott Wedgewood.
“In my position alone, you’ll do something one game and your hip locks up a little bit,” Wedgewood said. “It’s like, ‘Thank God, I’m not playing the next one. It feels like crap right now.’
“That happens 15 times a year, just on me, let alone taking body checks and slap shots. Playing as much as he does now at that age, keeping that body fresh and everything? He probably wouldn’t be the one to tell you, but he’s probably played through thousands of different nuances.”
Burns made his NHL debut on Oct. 8, 2003, with Minnesota after being a first-round pick by the Wild. He spent seven seasons with Minnesota, 11 in San Jose and three more in Carolina before joining Colorado.
His lone appearance in the Stanley Cup final was in 2016 with the Sharks, where they lost in six games to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Burns has played in 135 career playoff contests.
His current games streak started Nov. 21, 2013 — he played right wing that season — when he returned from his injury and promptly scored a goal. In his 999th straight game Wednesday against Vancouver, he delivered a goal and an assist to become the fifth different defensemen to notch a 30-point season while in their 40s.
“It’s just ridiculous,” Makar said of the streak before suffering an upper-body injury Monday against Calgary that will keep him out a few games. “For him to be able to go out there every night and make an impact, and not just float around and do the minimum, is pretty spectacular, especially at his age.”
