Sepsiscian Showcased at ADIA Lab Symposium 2026

At the recent ADIA Lab Symposium 2026, Dr Firda Rahmadani, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Khalifa University, presented Sepsiscian, an explainable artificial intelligence platform designed to support the early recognition and management of sepsis. Built on a Bayesian Belief Network framework, the platform generates transparent, real-time sepsis risk estimates as clinical data are entered, providing clinicians with interpretable decision support while maintaining full clinical oversight.

The project is being developed within the research group led by Dr Mecit Simsekler, a leading researcher in healthcare systems, patient safety, and artificial intelligence. Both Dr Mecit Simsekler and Dr Siddiq Anwar serve as Visiting Fellows at ADIA Lab, a premier UAE research institute advancing artificial intelligence, data science, machine learning, high-performance computing, and quantum computing.

As the clinical collaborator and subject matter expert, Dr Siddiq Anwar, Consultant Nephrologist at King’s College Hospital Dubai and Adjunct Faculty at Khalifa University, contributes frontline clinical expertise to ensure the platform addresses real-world healthcare needs and supports practical implementation in clinical settings.

This collaboration reflects the King’s College Hospital Dubai Nephrology Department’s growing engagement with leading academic and research institutions across the UAE. By working alongside innovators in artificial intelligence and digital health, the department is helping bridge the gap between research and patient care, with a focus on developing impactful solutions that improve healthcare outcomes.

King’s Nephrology welcomes opportunities for research and innovation partnerships with academic institutions, healthcare organizations, technology companies, and investigators interested in advancing artificial intelligence, digital health, transplantation, and kidney care.
