Shaping the future of personalised diabetes care in Qatar.
Based at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, we bring together data analytics, artificial intelligence and the lived experience of people with diabetes, so that care in Qatar fits each person and improves their quality of life. We call this DAQIQ care.
نهجنا
DAQIQ: two sides, one program
DAQIQ starts with people and their health data, then uses AI to turn them into insights that improve diabetes care. Those insights return to people, and the loop begins again.
Where it starts
People & Data
Lived experience and health data from people in Qatar living with diabetes, shared with consent.
- Long-term studies with people, families and clinics across Qatar, such as the LDQ Cohort
- Clinical, imaging, genetic and everyday data, collected with consent and ethics approval
- Patients and clinicians shaping the questions we ask, in Arabic and English
What comes back
AI & Insights
Analytics and AI that turn that data into individualised care, from prevention to everyday life.
- Earlier, individualised risk prediction from many kinds of data
- Explainable AI that clinicians can question and trust
- Free tools and guides for daily life on DAQIQ Living
Tap either lobe of the loop to explore it.

The AI behind DAQIQ care
Four lines of research turn health data into insights that clinicians and patients can trust.
Efficient AI and model compression
Pruning and compressing large language and foundation models so that capable AI runs quickly, cheaply and privately in clinics and on everyday devices.
Papers in preparation
Physics-informed neural networks
Neural networks that build in how the body works, such as how glucose and insulin interact, so that predictions stay plausible even when data are limited.
Papers in preparation
Knowledge graphs and trustworthy AI
Linking clinical knowledge with patient data in knowledge graphs, so that AI advice can be explained, questioned and checked by clinicians.
Dr. Nasrullah Khan, Dr. Amjad Ali

Our projects
The studies DAQIQ is running now, and the latest it has completed.
Living with diabetes
LDQ Cohort
Living with Diabetes in Qatar: the LDQ Cohort
A five-year cohort following adults with type 2 diabetes across four care settings, to learn how digital and AI advice shapes diabetes distress and self-management.
Project leadDr. Zubair Shah
Connected and proactive care
Proactive Care
AI-driven healthcare surveillance and proactive care recommendation in smart environments
AI that brings together data from connected health devices and clinical knowledge to spot changes early and recommend timely, personalised care for people living with diabetes.
Project leadDr. Zubair Shah
1 paper
Risk prediction
Longitudinal Risk
Longitudinal analysis of risk factors associated with diabetes using multimodal data and machine learning
PhD research that fused bone scans, retinal images, ECG, genetic, laboratory and lifestyle data from Qatar Biobank to predict who will develop type 2 diabetes, and to study its complications.
Project leadDr. Sulaiman Khan
