Revolutionizing Pilgrim Healthcare: SRTI Park Unveils 'Masand' Smart Bag
Discover how SRTI Park and Doctory are transforming the Hajj experience with 'Masand,' an innovative smart medical bag designed for remote diagnostics and emergency care.

Innovation at the Core of Pilgrim Safety
In a pioneering move, the Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTI Park) has collaborated with Doctory to introduce “Masand,” a smart medical bag designed exclusively for Hajj pilgrims. This inventive solution promises timely medical interventions during the demanding Hajj season, embodying Sharjah’s ethos of using innovation to create real-world impact.
Built in the Heart of Innovation: SoiLAB
The advanced capabilities of the Sharjah Open Innovation Lab (SoiLAB) underpinned the creation of “Masand”. This state-of-the-art hub allowed Doctory’s experts to harness cutting-edge technology like 3D printing, laser cutting, and custom circuit design, illustrating the park’s pivotal role in fostering medical innovation.
A Pillar of Remote Healthcare
With the potential to connect patients to medical professionals remotely, “Masand” is poised as a critical tool in regions lacking immediate healthcare access. Its recent approval during the Hajj season by regulatory bodies underscores its real-world applicability and importance.
An Ongoing Legacy of Innovation
SRTI Park’s track record in health innovation extends beyond “Masand”. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the park produced protective equipment and developed smart prosthetic limbs, showcasing its ongoing commitment to life-enhancing solutions.
