The 2025 edition of the Saudi Health Information Management Association (SHIMA) Annual Conference & Expo is shaping up to be a landmark event in the world of health information management (HIM), and we’re excited to announce that HealthOrbit AI, along with our co-founder Jobin Jose, will be among the global thought leaders taking part in the dialogue.
The conference, co-hosted by King Saud University as Knowledge Partner and backed by NEOM as Strategic Partner, is being positioned as the largest dedicated platform in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the broader MENA region for advancing healthcare information systems and digital health transformation.
Setting the Stage for Transformation
SHIMA 2025 offers a two-day opportunity for healthcare executives, IT leaders, academics, HIM professionals, solution providers, and policy-makers to converge. From interactive sessions on ICD-11 and revenue cycle management to hands-on workshops on AI in clinical coding, the event aims to accelerate the adoption of next-generation systems across the healthcare value chain.
For HealthOrbit AI, this moment arrives amid rapid shifts in how health information systems are conceived, deployed, and managed — particularly as artificial intelligence becomes embedded across clinical documentation, coding, billing, and the broader EHR ecosystem.
HealthOrbit AI Role and Vision
At the conference, Jobin Jose will represent HealthOrbit AI on the roster of distinguished speakers alongside global HIM luminaries such as Vicki Bennett (President, IFHIMA) and Dr Louise Schaper (Founder, HISA & Digital Health Institute).
Our message to attendees and the broader HIM community is clear: the next era of health information systems must be intelligent, contextual, and clinician-centric. HealthOrbit AI is driving that shift with solutions that:
- Employ AI-based voice helpers, ambient computing, and natural language processing to simplify clinical documentation and expedite the process of accepting SOAP notes and other standardised forms.
- Integrate smart processes in medical billing, revenue cycle management (RCM), and coding systems to enhance accuracy, minimise errors, and tap into revenue potentials that were not realised before.
- Strategically align, including the Vision 2030 of KSA and wider digital health aspirations – to empower HIM professionals to become transformers of change and not gatekeepers.
Why This Matters for HIM and Digital Health?
With increased digital integration on the front of healthcare organisations worldwide, the profession of HIM is changing. No more mere custodians of information and records, they are becoming strategic partners in deploying technology, patient safety, operational efficiency, and revenue integrity.
The fact that at SHIMA 2025, the topics such as AI in clinical coding guidelines, AI in RCM, and When care stops: Cybersecurity, Trust, and the Future of Patient Safety will be discussed in the workshop is a clear indicator that HIM-based innovation is taking centre stage.
The input of HealthOrbit AI revolves around bridging the dots – providing HIM professionals and care leaders with a way to bridge the gap between the emerging AI technologies and the everyday care delivery, documentation, billing, and governance demands.
What to Expect at the Event?
- Keynote and Panel Discussions: Plan on high-level events that include digital health strategy, the new mandate of HIM, and the future of the electronic medical records (EMRs) and health information systems (HIS).
- Pre-Conference Workshop (17 Nov): An emphasis day on action-oriented topics, including AI in clinical coding, HIM in the Health Sector Transformation Program (HSTP), AI in RCM, and cybersecurity.
- Exhibition & Live Demos: The visitors will get access to pilot projects, live technology displays, and vendor/solution provider engagements – they will be able to have hands-on exposure to next-gen HIS, EMR modules, documentation, and billing platforms.
Looking Ahead
With the ongoing changes in the health information systems, as they advance to be digitised and even intelligent, the HIM community is central to that process. To HealthOrbit AI and Jobin Jose, SHIMA 2025 is not just another occasion to speak but a landmark in the reconsideration of how healthcare organisations approach, integrate, and operationalise high-impact technologies.
We are excited to be among world leaders, HIM professionals, and digital health innovators in SHIMA 2025 and to contribute our part in the future of health information systems. You are coming to see us, and we would enjoy meeting you and discussing how you can make your team smarter, enable your voice-assisted, AI-driven system, and transform your organisation.
