8: 🩺 Israeli HealthTech: the remarkable rise of digital health impacting the lives of millions Jonny Gould's Jewish State

In this episode, I focus on an industry at which Israel leads the world, HealthTech. In a matter of years, Israel's digital health industry has evolved from a small group of innovative start-ups to a rich eco-system around Tel Aviv.

In a partnership of private and public sector investment, Israel's HealthTech industry is training AI algorithms, using massive data based on twenty years of medical records from half of Israel's population.

This was presented at the third UK Israel Business HealthTech Forum at which I spoke to UKIB's Hugo Bieber, Clalit's Professor Ran Balicer and Eyal Gura of Zebra Medical Vision.

Israel has the equivalent of four NHS’s serving its population with a top-up private sector with additional benefits.

So what can Israel teach the UK about public healthcare provision?

This is a good news story from the start-up nation!
