The latest announcements, partnerships and product updates from Looms.
Patients can now upload paper or digital health documents — lab results, imaging, letters — directly to Looms for secure, searchable lifetime storage.
We mapped 180 active healthtech companies, 12 active VCs and three government programmes across the GCC — and found the biggest gap is in patient-held records.

Clinic owners can now invite staff members, assign granular permissions by department and track who accesses patient records through the Looms admin panel.
After six months of private testing with 200 clinics, the Looms web app is now open to all patients and medical centers in the UAE.

The Looms design team shares the principles behind every screen — why clarity beats cleverness, how we design for Arabic and English simultaneously and what we got wrong early on.
We're accepting registrations from UAE clinics and patients ahead of our public launch — early access includes priority onboarding and founding member pricing.
Three experiences — a missed diagnosis, a medication error and a hospital that couldn't find a patient's file — led us to start Looms.
