Aldar and PureHealth have entered a strategic partnership to design and deliver health longevity-focused communities in Abu Dhabi. Described as a first-of-its-kind collaboration, it combines PureHealth’s leadership in healthcare and health longevity science with Aldar’s expertise in creating integrated, human-centric master planned communities. The initiative aims to establish a new model for wellness-driven living environments by embedding technology, health, and wellness into every aspect of daily life.
This initiative supports the UAE’s ambition to become a global hub for health longevity and sustainable living. It aligns with national frameworks such as the National Strategy for Wellbeing 2031 and Abu Dhabi’s Longevity and Precision Medicine Declaration. By combining PureHealth’s clinical insight with Aldar’s data-driven approach to community development, the companies will explore ways to integrate wellness and preventive care into the fabric of communities. This ranges from the design of homes and neighbourhoods to everyday experiences that promote long-term wellbeing, aiming to translate longevity science into practical, scalable solutions.
“This strategic partnership with Aldar represents a significant milestone in our mission to integrate health into every aspect of daily life.”
— Rashed AlQubaisi, Group Chief Operating Officer of PureHealth
Supported by PureHealth’s Pura Clinic, identified as the region’s centre for precision health and health longevity science, the partnership aims to enable individuals to take charge of their health through advanced technology. Planned features include advanced air quality systems, smart beds, and smart mirrors that offer real-time contactless health insights. This collaboration serves as a strong example of cross-sector innovation that aligns with national goals for population health and health longevity.
“Our partnership with PureHealth reflects a shared belief that wellbeing must be built into the places we call home.”
— Jonathan Emery, Chief Executive Officer of Aldar Development
The agreement also creates opportunities for joint research, knowledge exchange, and outcome measurement, supporting both organisations’ broader commitment to innovation and evidence-based decision-making. As the partnership evolves, Aldar and PureHealth will assess opportunities to introduce pilot initiatives across selected communities to inform future approaches. The project addresses the fact that people globally spend up to 90 per cent of their time indoors, making the built environment a critical factor in long-term health, particularly in hot climates like the UAE. By designing infrastructure with health longevity in mind, the companies aim to shape environments that foster wellness and community resilience through factors such as indoor air quality, safe water, access to daylight, and exposure to greenery.
