About Us
Israel's Sheba Medical Center is known for being among the best hospitals in the world, but it's now using cutting-edge technology to help some of its most grievously injured patients, the Times of Israel reports.
With nearly 2,000 soldiers injured in the Gaza war and thousands more wounded by rockets and other attacks from both sides, Sheba has expanded its rehabilitation hospital and invited health tech startups to submit solutions.
Two startups, Cognishine and Kemtai, were selected to begin a pilot program.
Cognishine offers a wide range of activities based on real-world scenarios to help patients regain cognitive, speech, and social-emotional capabilities.
Kemtai is an AI exercise platform that provides real-time feedback and corrective guidance during exercise, enabling patients to improve their performance and accelerate their recovery.
"The current war has presented us with a new crisis and as we've found out with Covid, it's also an opportunity for us to move faster, to solve problems that otherwise would have taken us much longer to solve," Dr.yal Zimlichman, Sheba's chief transformation officer, tells Newsweek.
Sheba is developing an AI-based tool to identify patients with PTSD and direct them to the proper therapy.
