Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – 13 September 2026 – VIWELL Founder and CEO Mohammed Husary joined the Forbes Middle East Healthcare Leaders Summit 2026 in Riyadh, contributing to the discussion “Building Healthier Communities: Making Wellbeing Part of Everyday Life.”
Bringing together leaders from across the healthcare ecosystem, the summit explored the ideas, technologies and approaches shaping the future of health across the region.
During the discussion, Husary focused on a fundamental challenge facing wellbeing today: knowing what is good for us does not necessarily mean we are able to make it part of our lives.
Most people already know that movement, good nutrition, quality sleep, managing stress and meaningful social connections matter. The challenge is closing the gap between that awareness and the behaviours people can realistically maintain.
“Information is not the barrier. The real challenge is turning what people already know into healthier behaviours they can sustain. That requires us to understand people as individuals, their needs, motivations and barriers, and make healthier choices more relevant and achievable in their everyday lives,” said Mohammed Husary, Founder and CEO of VIWELL.
A central theme of Husary’s contribution was the role of personalisation in helping people translate intention into action.
People experience wellbeing differently. Their priorities, motivations, circumstances and barriers vary, which means the same intervention will not work equally well for everyone.
Husary discussed how personalisation, behavioural science and positive reinforcement can work together to make healthier choices more relevant, achievable and repeatable — helping shift wellbeing from occasional action towards behaviours that become part of everyday life.
Technology and AI can help deliver this level of personalisation at scale. But their value is strongest when combined with credible knowledge and human expertise, creating experiences that are intelligent without losing the human dimension of wellbeing.
The discussion also explored the importance of looking beyond health in isolation.
Physical health is connected to how people think and feel, what they eat, the relationships they maintain, their financial circumstances and their experience at work.
This interconnected perspective is reflected in VIWELL’s approach to wellbeing across six dimensions: physical, mental, nutritional, social, financial and professional.
Rather than addressing these areas through disconnected initiatives, a more holistic approach can help people understand how different parts of their lives influence one another and receive support that is more relevant to their individual needs.
The conversation in Riyadh reflected a broader shift taking place across healthcare: from responding to health challenges towards creating the conditions that help people stay healthier in the first place.
For VIWELL, prevention is not only a healthcare conversation. It is an everyday one.
It happens through the choices people make about movement, nutrition, rest, stress, relationships, finances and work, and through the environments and systems that make those choices easier or harder to sustain.
Building healthier communities therefore requires more than telling people what they should do. It requires making wellbeing personal enough to matter, practical enough to act on and sustainable enough to become part of everyday life.
That is the perspective VIWELL brought to the Forbes Middle East Healthcare Leaders Summit, and one that continues to shape how we think about the future of wellbeing.
