The Saudi Ministry of Interior's General Department of Medical Services continues to deploy a state-of-the-art medical capsule for security personnel during this year's Hajj season, 1445 AH.
This innovative capsule utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced communication technologies to conduct comprehensive medical examinations within just six minutes, the Saudi Press agency reported on Thursday.
The capsule captures 26 key physiological measurements, including height, weight, body composition, vitals, and oxygen saturation.
Leveraging integrated AI, the capsule analyzes health data, facilitates remote consultations with doctors, and allows for medication registration. It reduces the need for hospital visits, offering a safe and private environment for on-site health screenings and consultations at workplaces across the Ministry of Interior and the Presidency of State Security.

Alphabet's Google said on Thursday it will open its second data center in Latin America in the Uruguayan city of Canelones and invest more than $850 million in it.

Google opened its first data center in Latin America in Quilicura, which is near Santiago, the capital city of Chile, in 2015. It invested an initial amount of $150 million in the data center and spent an additional $140 million in 2018 for expansion.

"We hope our new data center in Canelones will be a significant contribution to the professional and technological development of Uruguay and the entire region," Google said in a blog post.

Reuters reported on Thursday that Google is considering building a "hyperscale" data center close to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam and that the center would be ready in 2027.

In April, Google announced a $3 billion investment to set up a data center campus in Indiana and expand sites in Virginia. Google also said in May that it will invest $2 billion in Malaysia to develop its first data center and Google Cloud region in the country.
