US-founded health optimisation brand Next Health has officially opened its first international location in Business Bay, Dubai, marking a major expansion for the company outside of the United States.
The centre, developed in partnership with SAAS Healthcare, offers a data-driven, personalised approach to wellbeing and longevity.
Founded in Los Angeles in 2018 by Dr Darshan Shah and Kevin Peake, Next Health is positioned as a pioneer in proactive, client-led health care. It currently operates 12 locations across the US, including in California, New York, Florida and Hawaii.
Next Health’s model differs from traditional healthcare by focusing on enhancing healthspan rather than treating illness. “We wait until we’re sick to prioritise our health, missing the chance to truly thrive,” said Dr Shah. The company’s ethos centres around the belief that “health is not the absence of disease, it’s the abundance of vitality”.
The Dubai centre offers a wide range of advanced services including AI-powered skin and body analysis, cryotherapy, DNA testing, and a multi-biohacking chamber. Client journeys typically begin with the collection of biomarkers, which inform a personalised treatment plan. These biomarkers are continuously monitored, enabling the plan to be dynamically adjusted over time.
Clients can access services individually or through membership and package options. The centre uses a proprietary credit system called Optims, allowing clients to curate a personalised wellness pathway.
Co-founder and President Kevin Peake described the concept as “the first of its kind as a health optimisation centre”, stating that clients are now “choosing to improve their healthspan for as long as possible” rather than waiting for illness to occur.
Next Health places strong emphasis on scientific validation. All treatments and innovations are developed under a medical licence, following extensive research and vetting by medical professionals.
SAAS Healthcare, which is spearheading the brand’s UAE expansion, is focused on developing advanced medical solutions tailored to emerging markets across the GCC.
Next Health Dubai is located at Shop 1, SAAS Tower, Burj Khalifa – Sonder Business Bay. nexthealth.ae
