U.S. Healthcare Mission to Israel

Opportunities For American Healthcare Companies in Israel

The Israeli Government and healthcare system are investing in innovative digital health solutions and medical devices, with funding coming from both the public and private sectors. The Israeli Ministry of Health has outlined both short-term and long-term plans to develop and expand the country’s health technology infrastructure. These plans have an overarching focus on promoting sustainable and digital health tools, and thus create room for American companies to expand their services to one of the most promising healthcare markets in the world today.

Israel’s healthcare system is very advanced by international standards

Israeli healthcare facilities are modern and receptive to innovative technologies and procedures. Israel is a global technology research and development center. Its strength in this sector stems from inter-disciplinary capabilities, which bring together medicine,
clinical expertise, materials science, electronics, software expertise and engineering know-how. As a result of the robust local ecosystem, many multinational companies establish research & development centers in Israel, that generate an annual revenue of billions of dollars.

Medical Device Opportunities 

Medical devices have traditionally been the leading healthcare sub-sector in Israel, both for local developers and for foreign exporters, and it accounts for approximately half of the total healthcare industry market share. The medical devices market size is
over $1.6 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of about 2%. Aligning with global trends, medical devices in Israel are developing towards digital innovation, integrated IT capabilities for better accuracy, and solutions to improve physician-patient interface.

Digital Health Opportunities

Israel has an excellent digital health tech base and is a world leader in mobile and e-health implementations. The Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center is the largest teaching hospital in Israel, and has implemented leading digital health solutions in its facilities, with an objective of streamlining care and patients experiences. Clalit Healthcare Services is Israel’s largest health maintenance organization (HMO), and has put out an open call for tech companies and startups developing products that align with their goal to provide state-of-the-art service to their patients. This includes remote treatment, remote diagnostics, and monitoring and other lab services from patients’ homes.

Global Business Navigator Chatbot Beta

Welcome to the Global Business Navigator, an artificial intelligence (AI) Chatbot from the International Trade Administration (ITA). This tool, currently in beta version testing, is designed to provide general information on the exporting process and the resources available to assist new and experienced U.S. exporters. The Chatbot, developed using Microsoft’s Azure AI services, is trained on ITA’s export-related content and aims to quickly get users the information they need. The Chatbot is intended to make the benefits of exporting more accessible by understanding non-expert language, idiomatic expressions, and foreign languages.

Limitations

As a beta product, the Chatbot is currently being tested and its responses may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete information. The Chatbot is trained to decline out of scope or inappropriate requests. The Chatbot’s knowledge is limited to the public information on the Export Solutions web pages of Trade.gov, which covers a wide range of topics on exporting. While it cannot provide responses specific to a company’s product or a specific foreign market, its reference pages will guide you to other relevant government resources and market research. Always double-check the Chatbot’s responses using the provided references or by visiting the Export Solutions web pages on Trade.gov. Do not use its responses as legal or professional advice. Inaccurate advice from the Chatbot would not be a defense to violating any export rules or regulations.

Privacy

The Chatbot does not collect information about users and does not use the contents of users’ chat history to learn new information. All feedback is anonymous. Please do not enter personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive, or proprietary information into the Chatbot. Your conversations will not be connected to other interactions or accounts with ITA. Conversations with the Chatbot may be reviewed to help ITA improve the tool and address harmful, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate questions.

Translation

The Chatbot supports a wide range of languages. Because the Chatbot is trained in English and responses are translated, you should verify the translation. For example, the Chatbot may have difficulty with acronyms, abbreviations, and nuances in a language other than English.
