Healthtech Gets a Digital Upgrade
Saudi Arabia’s healthtech space is heating up as Tuba, a brand-new AI-driven platform, makes its debut with an $8 million pre-seed investment. The round was led by Al-Waalan Investment and joined by a group of angel investors. Founded by Fayez Al-Anazi, the mind behind the successful used car platform Syarah, Tuba is now setting out to digitally transform healthcare—one intelligent solution at a time.
What is Tuba All About?
Tuba is on a mission to simplify and modernize healthcare management through artificial intelligence. It aims to:
- âś… Improve operational efficiency
- âś… Reduce healthcare costs
- âś… Boost transparency in care delivery
- âś… Create a more patient-centric experience
Al-Anazi, known for disrupting traditional industries, is ready to do it again—this time in the healthcare world. With four AI-powered operational models, Tuba is all set to tackle the sector’s pain points, from bloated costs to outdated systems.
Where will the $8M Go?
This funding will act as a launchpad for Tuba’s ambitious roadmap. Here’s how the capital will be used:
- âś… Build robust technical infrastructure
- âś… Expand operations within Saudi Arabia and into new markets
- âś… Grow the team by attracting top-tier talent in tech and healthcare
It’s not just about scaling fast; it’s about scaling smart. With AI at its core, Tuba wants to bring real-time insights, automation, and agility to a sector that’s long overdue for innovation.
Backed by Confidence
Mohammed Al-Khalawi, CEO of Al-Waalan Investment, shared his belief in the startup’s potential:
“The healthcare sector needs more flexible and efficient digital tools. Tuba brings both vision and cutting-edge technology. Our investment reflects our confidence in their ability to make healthcare spending smarter and more impactful.”
That’s a bold endorsement—and one that places high expectations on the young startup. But with a proven entrepreneur at the helm, Tuba seems ready for the challenge.
From Cars to Care: A Founder’s Continued Mission
Al-Anazi’s previous venture, Syarah, redefined how people buy used cars by introducing technology and transparency to a traditional market. He believes healthcare faces a similar challenge today.
“There’s a clear gap in modern solutions for healthcare,” said Fayez Al-Anazi, Founder & CEO of Tuba. “Through AI, we aim to make healthcare management more efficient, inclusive, and equitable.”
His vision? To create a smarter, more connected healthcare system that puts patients and providers first.
