Abu Dhabi: PureHealth’s Pura App has introduced a diabetes care module, offering real-time glucose tracking, personalized meal plans, and seamless integration with select continuous glucose monitoring devices.
The module connects to PureHealth’s Diabetes Command Centre, allowing secure access for healthcare providers to monitor patient data, improving diabetes management with confidence. Notably, Pura is the UAE’s first app for diabetes care integrated with a physical health infrastructure.
Pura’s innovative features have driven significant engagement, particularly among Abu Dhabi’s population, reflecting a growing interest in adopting digital tools for better health.
The app serves as a comprehensive health companion, connecting with wearable devices to track and analyze real-time data, such as glucose levels, heart health, and sleep quality.

Pura empowers individuals to actively manage their health and well-being, ensuring these additional years are filled with vitality. This app represents our commitment to digital healthcare innovation, enabling communities to live healthier lives.”
Pura also features the region’s first evidence-based PureScore, which assesses individual health and encourages informed lifestyle choices. Gamification elements, like challenges awarding redeemable FitCoins, have motivated users, with 65% participating in app-based and Active Abu Dhabi challenges since launch. Over 5.7 million FitCoins have already been redeemed for lifestyle benefits.
Fully integrated with PureHealth’s network of hospitals and clinics, Pura simplifies healthcare by allowing users to manage appointments, teleconsultations, follow-ups, and even home medicine delivery. Future updates will include home sample collection for routine tests and expanded tools for an enhanced healthcare journey.
