The Timeline

The Challenge

Looking to complete a pilot with a US hospital with the support of one of the leading Israeli hospitals? 

If you are an innovator looking to co-develop solutions that enhance care delivery, clinical outcomes and capacity in a cost-effective manner, this challenge is for you.

Requirements:

The selected (winning) solution will have the potential to convey demonstrable cost-savings and/or capacity enhancement with direct, measurable, and immediate outcomes.  

Considerations: 

Increased workforce retention, enhanced positive patient experiences, and promotes a nurturing workplace environment  
 
Reduced administrative burden 
on care providers, providing more time for direct patient interaction  

Improved management of supplies and staffing 
for ancillary departments (e.g., non-nursing units such as pharmacy, pathology lab)

Reduce patient length of stay (LOS) across all entities. Apply data visualization tools (‘dashboards’) to provide real-time insight into regulatory, compliance, quality, implementation of evidenced-based care, and to define new care models.

Candidates:

We are looking for startup companies in early/pre-commercialization stages that are incorporated in Israel and are expanding their business operations to the American healthcare system.

The healthcare sector is in dire need of a transformation that would lead to more sustainable consumer-based solutions. 

To spearhead this, Sheba Medical Center, the largest hospital in Israel that was recognized as being among the top 10 in the world by Newsweek in March 2019, 2020, and 2021, launched ARC. 

ARC, which is short for accelerate, redesign, and collaborate, encompasses a global ecosystem that aims to develop, pilot, and roll out game-changing solutions. It prioritizes innovations in digital health as its main change vehicle and fosters an open innovation environment.  Our goal is ambitious – to have a meaningful, measurable impact on healthcare by 2030.  To this end, we unite leading Academic Medical Centers with innovative startups and strategic industry partners to promote accelerated development and implementation through the sharing of data and streamlined collaborations. 

Hospitals worldwide face a range of challenges, from managing increasing demand for healthcare services to dealing with limited resources and funding. 

Ultimately, hospitals must adapt to changing healthcare environments, leverage data and analytics to improve outcomes, and prioritize the needs of patients and their families. Innovation is key to adapting and scaling healthcare standards and improving our access to better quality care.
