Scientific Research Strategies
Scope:
AI in research involves developing advanced algorithms to solve complex challenges in healthcare, robotics, and environmental science, often through interdisciplinary collaboration. Key areas include Natural Language Processing (NLP), computer vision, ethical implications of AI, and robotics for diverse applications.
Data mining, specifically, focuses on finding anomalies, patterns, and correlations within large datasets to predict outcomes and create data work-up networks for related diseases like Cerebral Palsy and Stroke. This process enhances decision-making and predictive modeling in healthcare and other sectors. By integrating AI and data mining, research centers unlock insights that foster technological advancements and improve understanding in critical areas.
Scope:
The objectives of Saudi Genome in SBAHC are to recruit almost all cases with genetic diseases that had been seen or will be seen in the future into the Saudi Genome Project. This will empower the Project with the minimum of 2000 patients with their clinical and genetic information that would put the Kingdom in the first line for such diseases. Another objective of this program is to allow the Research Center in SBAHC to come up with the Saudi panel for disability diseases that would be used nationally and internationally to screen for those diseases and provide early intervention.
Scope:
The Autism registry was established with primary objectives to assess the epidemiological features of Autism and the clinical outcome presentation, to assess the economic impact of Autism on the health system, to develop guidelines and strategies for Autism management and care at the national level and to use the Autism Registry as a sampling frame for future research
SBAHC National Autism Initiatives: SBAHC NAI
Scope:
SBAHC-NAI is a strategic initiative to enhance the quality of life, support, and inclusion of individuals with ASD. This project focuses on developing comprehensive policies, services, and programs that address early diagnosis, education, employment, and community integration. SBAHC-NAI is structured into three key segments.
A. Medical
Aims to improve early diagnosis, intervention, and specialized healthcare services for individuals with autism. It includes developing standardized screening programs and ensuring access to multidisciplinary treatment approaches.
1. SBAHC Autism clinic
2. SBAHC daycare center clinic

B. Research
Focuses on advancing scientific understanding of autism through clinical studies, data collection, and innovative research.
1. Saudi National Autism Survey – A large-scale national study to gather data on autism prevalence, challenges, and service needs.
2. Saudi National Autism Registry – A centralized database to track and analyze autism cases, supporting research and policy development.
3. Autism Genetic Panel – A genetic study to identify autism-related genetic markers and contribute to personalized treatment approaches.

C. Education
Focuses on enhancing awareness, training, and inclusion efforts within the education system. It involves training educators and caregivers and fostering inclusive learning environments to support the academic and social development of individuals with autism.
1. ADOS Training – Training programs for professionals to effectively use the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) for accurate ASD diagnosis.
2. SBAHC School National Autism Education Program – A structured program to equip educators with the skills needed to support students with autism in school settings.

Scope:
The Saudi National Bariatric Registry (SNBR) is the first registry that will collect data for patients who undergoes bariatric surgery. Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Humanitarian City is one of active Medical Center that perform more than one thousand bariatric surgeries annually. The patients are managed by a multi- disciplinary team in the city with pre, post-operative care. This registry will invite other governmental and non-governmental hospitals to register their patients to reach the targeted number of 50.000 bariatric operated patients.
