ONLINE BOOKING FOR MEDICAL CENTERS ---- Back in Russia, it was a must. You don't have online booking - patients will go to a clinic that has it. Period. Here in Israel Health IT and service level in medical centers is way less advanced (but the doctors are way better 😁), but it's gonna change. And we are working on that=) All clinics using our solution have online booking, and, hopefully, the number of them will increase. We've been doing online booking for over 10 years, and yes, we know A LOT about it. Online booking helps you: 1. Increase site conversion level up to 2x 2. Increase the level of patient's service 3. Lower costs on call-center. So, here is a short story in our blog: https://lnkd.in/eUHaHDjq

Due to the events in Israel, I've been getting many questions from Founders & CEOs about fundraising and building partnerships in the US. Having worked there for 12 years, summarizing the key points from the conversations here: 1. As the United States is more isolated than Europe, Americans are less exposed to war and global issues, which can make them more sensitive to them. It’s important to address this head-on and explain what life is like in Israel and the real impact. Although your U.S. counterparts may be polite, they will most likely be concerned about it. 2. U.S. companies are known to sign deals faster than other regions such as in APAC or EMEA. For this reason, it’s important to respond quickly to messages, with accurate information, and to be prepared. Structure the deal quickly and carefully – this is in contrast to a place like China, where you might work on the relationship for many months and start business proceedings. In the U.S., the business takes precedent over the relationship i.e. the merits of the deal. 3. I’ve seen Israelis assume that they are similar in professional style to Americans, but this is typically not the case. Israelis can be perceived as casual, direct, and sometimes arrogant; and we need to be aware of that. It can help if you’re able to work with someone who has experience in both worlds and can navigate cultures. 4. To sign a large deal or partnership, traveling to the U.S. is typically required. Being there to shake hands is very important, and most investors will not agree to a deal without multiple physical meetings to create both a personal and professional relationship. Although the deal is paramount, partners feel they are investing in the CEO/founders just as much, if not more, than the product. Image source: Bram Nash / Unsplash

Joe Hayon shares his candid thoughts on the Israeli government's strategic role in the high-tech sector: ״The government needs to dial back on global politics and take on a more hands-on approach in managing the economy. It's time to shift focus and provide more substantial support to the startups that have real potential and as they are important to the Israeli economy, attracting foreign investments and creating jobs. The Israel Innovation Authority currently offers grants of hundreds of thousands of dollars to thousands of startups and does an excellent job of helping to lift these startups. However, founders still need risk management and business management tools, training, and coaching, meaning that having a great idea is not enough to build a business that can develop technology and market a new product.The concept that the core tech is so great that someone will buy the company, is what causes founders to refrain from ongoing learning of the addressable markets needs, often developing a product that nobody will want to use or even needs. The market is your workplace, and not the tech lab. Founding a startup does not come with work instructions, so the complexity of building a startup is often underestimated, while the value of an idea, initial prototype or proof of concept based on academic research is greatly overestimated. It often takes years and tens of millions of dollars to reach a break-through product, and thousands of startups will have a low probability of raising funds beyond the grant or a seed investment. I believe it's better to allocate more resources to fewer companies that demonstrate strong growth opportunity, with a key component being the potential of the founders. I believe that this approach will leave more companies in Israeli control, meaning that they will grow into larger entities, to further strengthen in the Israeli economy and the dependence of the global markets on Israeli based technologies and business corporations.״ In an industry as dynamic as high-tech, strategic investment and professional support by people with a track record are crucial for startup survival and growth. Joe's perspective challenges us to look at funding capabilities, and business management skills as what define the core potential of a startup. He believes that without them, even the best of startup ideas and core technologies will dry up. What are your thoughts on government support programs for startups? Is it better to spread resources across many or concentrate them on the most promising few? Let’s discuss.   #HighTech #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #GovernmentPolicy #Startups #IsraelTech

Joe Hayon, Co-Founder and President of Inspira Technologies, shares how he believes that despite the challenges posed by the October 7th attack and the ongoing conflict, Israeli startups remain poised as key drivers of the nation and the country’s future growth. “We will fight to protect our homeland and do everything possible to return our hostages”. For those who doubt us or choose to challenge us, remember this: “We never give up!”. Israelis as a nation and as a startup ecosystem are characterized by resilience and persistence. Historical challenges have fostered a culture of innovation and problem-solving. Our startups continue developing cutting-edge technologies even amid adversity. Israeli startups operate in high-priority sectors such as cybersecurity, defense technology, and healthcare. These sectors are critical for national security and promoting peace and global stability. The demand for advanced solutions remains strong, providing growth opportunities. The secret to success is resilience, persistence, and a culture of never giving up. Failure is a milestone to success. As a startup nation, we are determined to overcome market challenges and bring the hostages home.

Dr. Dekel Stavi, MD, our Medical Director at Inspira Technologies, Head of the ECMO Service at Tel Aviv Medical Center (Ichilov), and Chairman of the Israeli ECMO Society, emphasized the life-saving potential of ECPR (Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) in an article featured in #Atmosphera, the inflight magazine of EL AL Israel Airlines: "For years, there was no significant improvement in survival rates for cardiac arrest patients. It’s frustrating to perform prolonged resuscitation only to later declare death or witness severe brain damage. ECPR opens a window of opportunity to change that."   Inspira Technologies is set to revolutionize life support for millons of respiratory and cardiac arrest patients each year. We are proud to have Dr. Stavi leading us as we work to push the boundaries of medical technology.

8 Technological Breakthroughs in Fertility This article highlights eight Israeli technological breakthroughs in fertility in honor of World Fertility Day 2024, two of which have connections to the Technion. PregnanTech’s Lioness device is placed in the patient during a short outpatient procedure and stays in place throughout the entire pregnancy to help prevent preterm birth. BAIBYS™ Fertility’s technology automates the challenging process of sperm selection for IVF treatments, utilizing AI and micro-robotics.

Why NOW is the time to invest in Israel? Here's the best free investment recommendation ever: invest in outstanding Israeli high-tech opportunities NOW. Despite what you hear in the news and often encounter in social media, Israel is strong and resilient and therefore will undoubtedly survive, win this war, and flourish. The Iranian barbaric regime, on the other hand, the regime that actively threatens its neighbors and the whole free world and fosters vicious terrorism, is destined to fall and ultimately disappear. The dramatic and extraordinary geopolitical makeover that our region is currently undergoing, and the new surprising unprecedented alliances between Israel and the Arab Sunni Gulf partners, will shortly result in a huge economic boom the likes of which has never been seen before. Israeli innovation is already well established and world renown with a proven exceptionally successful track record. As sophisticated potential investors, you must realize that harnessing accelerating new technologies to innovatively solve the biggest unmet needs of humanity is what Israelis unequivocally excel in. For example, if AI in healthcare is ever going to truly revolutionize medicine, rather than remain an overhyped promise, Israeli researchers and companies are going to be leading this field. Similarly, if autonomous driving is ever going to become widespread, reliable and affordable, it will be mainly thanks to Israeli R&D. Invest in Israel now!!! #InvestNOW #IsraelHighTech #Innovation

I’d like to share thoughts on longevity clinics and also the future for the public longevity sector. First of all, it is good to see more longevity clinics around, including public clinics hosted by prominent public hospitals! Some prominent examples include Sheba Longevity Center (Ramat Gan, Israel), Healthy Longevity Clinic at Alexandra Hospital (Singapore), Mayo Clinic Healthy Longevity Clinic (Rochester, Minnesota, USA), the first public longevity clinic in the US. Private clinics are more abundant, for example Switzerland is home to several, including: 💼 Longevity Center (Zurich, Switzerland & Warsaw, Poland), managed by Joanna Bensz (co-founder,CEO), Prince Michael of Liechtenstein (co-founder). 💼 CLINIQUE LA PRAIRIE (Lake Geneva, Switzerland), managed by Simone Gibertoni (CEO), Adrian Heini (Medical Director) and with a starting price for the 1-week program to be around €50,000. 💼 AYUN (Zurich), managed by Dr. med. Leonie Bode and Vincent Aebi Several other clinics are located across Europe and in the UK: 💼HOOKE (London), managed by Kate Woolhouse (CEO), and Lev Mikheev (Founder), with average prices being €8.550 - €63.000. 💼Healthy Longevity Clinic (Prague, Czech Republic and Florida, USA), managed by Petr Sramek (CEO) 💼Lanserhof Lans (Austria, Denmark, Germany, the UK), managed by Christian Harisch (CEO) and with prices starting at €2,890 (Lanserhof Kur Classic, 7 nights) And US/Asia: 💼Human Longevity Clinic (San Francisco & San Diego, USA), led by Wei-Wu He, Ph. D. (Executive Chairman, Human Longevity, Inc.) and David Karow (Chief Innovation Officer) Evelyne Bischof, MD, PhD 💼CHI Longevity Clinic (Singapore), led by Andrea B. Maier (Co-founder, President of the Healthy Longevity Medicine Society ). I took prices from a report by Future of Health and I did not check them, so please do your own due diligence if you need. But the point is, they are not exactly super affordable for the broader community. That’s fine for now, and I am happy to see the progress in this area. But I see the future of public longevity a bit differently. IMO, it is not a “brick and mortar” way (going to clinic), but “in-house” way, where you have digital and biosensors, e.g. stool sensors, urine sensors, blood draw automation tools, digital trackers, and AI systems connecting the dots with the actual physician. I’m getting more investment requests for longevity clinical, but it is a challenging business. What matters for many is who is your longevity physician. It is important that organizations such as Healthy Longevity Medicine Society promote practical longevity stuff, and allow doctors to implement best practices in their usual medical routines, like diagnostics, personalized medicine etc. So, the future of longevity is not longevity clinics, I guess, although for now they are quite valuable for some patients. What do you think? #longevityindustry #longevityclinics #aging With Wei-Wu He, Ph. D.

"AR computing!" Say goodbye to traditional laptops. An Israeli entrepreneur has innovated a technology that bids farewell to our traditional laptops. Tamir Berliner- founder of Sightful and the innovator behind the Spacetop G1! What is the Spacetop G1? Spatial computer that seamlessly integrates the functionality of a laptop with the capabilities Of Augmented Reality (AR). A 100-inch virtual workspace replaces the need for a physical screen. Spacetop G1 adapts to various environments, whether at home, in the office, or on the go. This represents a step forward in integrating AR technologies with daily tasks. Spatial with AR transforms how we interact with digital content, personally and professionally. The real test will be in its execution. The usability of the AR interface, the battery life, the comfort of AR glasses, etc., are crucial. I believe Sightful has managed to address these practical concerns effectively. And I am awaiting the official release in india. Congrats to Tamir Berliner and the team for their bold move and fantastic innovation. The Spacetop G1 is an evolution in how we think about personal computing.
