We are delighted to celebrate the remarkable success of one of Clalit Health Services's outstanding hospitals event — the 12th Meir Conference for Research, Development, and Innovation! Over two inspiring days, the Research Authority, led by Prof. Shaye Kivity, curated an exceptional program showcasing groundbreaking research from talented teams across medicine, nursing, laboratory sciences, and cutting-edge innovation. Congratulations on an inspiring and impactful event, and special congratulations to the winning researchers for their visionary projects. Kudos to those driving innovation at Meir Medical Center- Guy Topaz, Uri Goren, Ofri Berkman! Here’s to continued collaboration, discovery, and excellence!

This week, for our Sunday Innovation Forum, we decided to try something a little different and commemorate Employee Wellness Day! The Clalit Innovation kitchen transformed into a mini CrossFit gym. Equipment was neatly laid out by weight, and a vibrant health table was prepared, featuring yogurt, granola, and fresh fruit. At first, employees seemed hesitant after all, weights and kettlebells aren't exactly common sights in an office filled with data analysts, financial experts, innovation leaders, business developers, and physicians. But within minutes, everyone warmed up, and the energy of a great workout took over. There’s nothing quite like the joy and camaraderie of group exercise. Sometimes, innovation comes in the form of small surprises like this, boosting morale and inspiring new ideas. A huge thanks to Tomer Malleron for leading the session, and Talia Laor and Inbar Groen Gilon, who made this energizing experience possible! #wellness #innovation #healthinnovation

After a year in action, Clalit Health Services’s innovative digital system is proving its efficiency in identifying individuals at high risk for trauma, depression, and anxiety- particularly those who have not independently sought treatment. This proactive solution provides immediate feedback, access to self-help resources, and, in high-risk cases, direct outreach by Clalit’s dedicated mental health expert team. Established last year, this specialized solution offers personalized support, including initial assistance and referrals for ongoing care, whether in-person or by phone. To ensure holistic care, findings from the system are shared with family physicians.
