The healthtech and biotech ecosystem is developing rapidly in Israel and worldwide. Innovative developments are changing how medicine is practiced, from delivery of healthcare and work processes to integration of advanced technologies in diagnosis, treatment and disease prevention.

The Israeli Society for HealthTech (ISoH-Tech) was established in July 2020 to focus efforts on strengthening mutually productive relationships between medicine and industry. Our mission is to close gaps and drive communication between the players in medical technology and medical practice, enabling more effective processes of innovation and implementation to benefit patients.

Last year we launched the first Fellowship in Medical Innovation and Entrepreneurship program for physicians in Israel, certified by the IMA’s Medical Scientific Council. The first cohort of fellows recently graduated and all alumni are now actively involved in promoting healthtech innovation and collaborations alongside medical practice within their health organizations. Our second cohort is now well underway! The program collaborates with over 50 healthtech/biomed companies providing hands-on experience for physicians in the industry and supporting ISoH-Tech’s activities. In parallel we instituted the "בריםMED" program, a monthly virtual platform for short lectures addressing challenges and ground-breaking developments in healthcare and medical technology.
