Company name: Beilinson Medical Center Innovation
Field of business: Healthtech
Company description: At Beilinson Hospital, one of the leading centers of Clalit Health Services, there is an innovation center that includes several arms: the "Innovation Incubator" that promotes inventions for particular needs, based on the biodesign method from Stanford, as well as a center for artificial intelligence and big data, design and 3D printing. Medical insights combined with internal research and development capabilities are leveraged by external entrepreneurs from the bustling Israeli ecosystem. One of the unique features of the innovation center is that everything happens inside the hospitals. After the problem is analyzed, the process includes a brainstorming where everyone says what they think and even the wildest ideas are discussed.
