Millions on the line: inside startup MedIQ’s largest private AI investment in Pakistan’s health sector

MedIQ, one of Pakistan’s recognized digital health platforms, has now positioned itself at the forefront of the country’s artificial intelligence revolution. With a multi-million-dollar investment into in-house AI development, the company is transforming its operations from traditional telemedicine into a data-driven healthcare system provider. 

This move doesn’t just represents technological advancement, it marks a strategic shift toward building one of Pakistan’s first large-scale, healthcare-specific AI infrastructure, trained on local medical realities.

The company’s new AI engine automates the entire clinical workflow. From multilingual pre-consultation triage to real-time medical note taking during appointments and even post-consultation patient management, MedIQ’s system guides patients as well as practitioners through every step of their healthcare journey. 

For hospitals, the impact is immediate: time spent on documentation drops and patient throughput increases. For Pakistan’s overburdened healthcare system where clinicians often see dozens of patients per shift, AI-driven efficiency is not just convenient, it’s essential to ease that burden.
