Abu Dhabi, UAE \u2013 1 September 2025: Rain Technology ME LTD (Rain), founded by tech entrepreneur Brian Edelman, today announces a merger of Rain with the global operations of Stella Technology. The two entities bring forth a new unified brand identity: Rain Stella Technologies (RST).
\nThis strategic move unites two healthtech innovators to form a powerhouse in AI-driven healthcare across the Middle East and Africa (MEA). Stella brings trusted digital infrastructure to emerging markets. Rain adds innovation in AI, voice, and intelligent automation. Together, they form a healthcare technology leader for MEA and beyond.
\nRST\u2019s formation is backed by Stella\u2019s proven health information exchange (HIE) and electronic medical record (EMR) solutions, as well as Rain\u2019s AI-driven surgical workflow automation. The transaction also unites leadership teams experienced in scaling digital transformation in healthcare. Lalo Valdez, CEO of Stella Technology, will join RST\u2019s Board of Directors, providing strategic guidance as the newly formed company scales globally. Further, Khalid Adine, former CEO of Stella Emerging Markets, has joined RST as its Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) and will lead commercial strategy and growth.
\nBrian Edelman, Founder of Rain Technology, said: \u201cFor over a decade, Stella has been a pioneer in connecting healthcare systems. Now, with Rain\u2019s cutting-edge AI capabilities, we\u2019re redefining what\u2019s possible across the continuum of care. RST represents both trusted foundations and the intelligence needed for the future of healthcare, particularly in a region where the opportunity to transform care delivery is immense. We\u2019re building a long-term platform to empower health systems across MEA with scalable, intelligent solutions that not only meet today\u2019s challenges but also anticipate tomorrow\u2019s needs.\u201d
\nLalo Valdez, Founder of Stella Technology, added: \u201cAt Stella, we\u2019ve always believed that health systems deserve solutions that are built to scale \u2013 whether it be for a single clinic or a national network. Joining forces with Rain allows us to elevate that mission. As a board member of RST, I look forward to supporting its growth into a global leader in digital health innovation.\u201d
\nRST will combine the strengths of both companies to deliver an expanded suite of solutions to the region\u2019s healthcare market:
\n\u25cf HIE (Constellation) and EMR (Equinox) \u2013 Building on Stella\u2019s proven legacy of interoperability, security, and clinical efficiency across MEA and U.S. markets. Equinox supports multi-speciality documentation and care coordination, while Constellation enables secure, FHIR-based national interoperability.
\n\u25cf AI-Driven Surgical Workflow Automation (Orva) \u2013 Powered by Rain\u2019s flagship voice assistant platform for operating rooms, Orva brings intelligent automation and real-time documentation to surgical environments while offering modular voice artificial intelligence (AI) and learning language model (LLM) services to enhance the entire portfolio.
\n\u25cf New Analytics, Benchmarking and Transformation Products \u2013 Designed to help providers, policymakers, and payors improve care quality, efficiency, and compliance. These tools are supported by de-identified data captured across the suite, powering system-wide intelligence, predictive insights, and continuous AI model refinement.
\nRST works with 17 different healthcare systems across five countries, serving as a trusted partner for large-scale national implementations and agile deployments in diverse care settings. Uniting deep expertise in healthcare AI and advanced voice technology, the merger establishes RST as one of MEA\u2019s most influential healthcare companies.
\nThis merger is timely, as across the region, healthcare organizations seek comprehensive digital partners capable of seamlessly connecting infrastructure and layering in intelligent technologies. According to a 2025 report, the MENA AI in healthcare market is projected to grow by 35.8% annually to reach $1.8 billion by 2029 . Rising expectations around efficiency, data quality, and patient safety are driving transformation at both the national and hospital levels. The shift toward value-based care models is also accelerating the need for integrated, real-time insights that span clinical and operational domains.
\nWith headquarters at Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and a strong operational presence across MEA, RST will serve hospitals, clinics, government agencies, and other healthcare groups seeking to lead in the next phase of digital health transformation. RST operates across multiple levels of the healthcare ecosystem, from national interoperability to multi-speciality clinical workflows and AI-assisted surgery, creating cross-portfolio intelligence that is needed to improve system-wide care quality\u00a0and\u00a0efficiency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
