With a patient base of over 60M patients, the NHS is the world’s largest healthcare provider, and has repeatedly declared its intentions to find the best and the brightest healthtech solutions from around the world. Israel’s genuine abundance of healthtech companies offers fantastic partnership opportunities in several specific expertise areas:
Firstly, Israel has 100% electronic medical records and more than 25 years of experience in implementing healthcare IT solutions.
Secondly, matching the global demand, Israel has a supply of technologies in areas such as AI/ML, diagnostics, and computer vision in medical imaging (e.g. digital pathology, radiology), etc.
Lastly, the field of Bio-convergence (the interaction between biotech, engineering and computing) has recently become one of the Israeli tech industry’s most substantial areas within healthtech and is on a path to becoming recognised globally. Combining these areas of excellence means that new insights can be drawn from healthcare big data, moving us closer and closer to the reality of a future of personalised and predictive medicine.
