Avner Halperin shared this"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" wrote Arthur C. Clarke. Here is one example:... We are building a new company around a technology that takes the 100 Million Mammograms performed every year for early detection of breast cancer and using them to save women's lives from cardiac disease!

Avner Halperin shared thisA critically important milestone in true life implementation of AI to deliver clinical and economic outcomes!Avner Halperin shared thisWe have something big to share. Today marks a major milestone in the journey toward the AI-enabled hospital of the future. Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer is officially collaborating with OpenAI on its first international healthcare deployment, becoming OpenAI’s first hospital partner outside the United States. Led by the AI Center at ARC, this collaboration will integrate OpenAI’s AI technology into Sheba’s clinical, research, and operational environments—helping clinicians and healthcare teams access medical evidence faster, streamline workflows, and support more informed decision-making. This milestone reflects the strength of ARC’s innovation model. By bringing together clinicians, researchers, entrepreneurs, and global technology leaders within a real-world healthcare environment, ARC enables breakthrough technologies to move rapidly from development to responsible implementation. The insights, capabilities, and implementation models developed through this collaboration have the potential to help shape how healthcare systems around the world adopt and scale AI responsibly. This is more than a collaboration. It is a shared commitment to advancing patient care, accelerating medical innovation, and defining the next generation of healthcare. A defining moment for Sheba, ARC, and the future of healthcare.

Avner Halperin shared thisI am proud to share a major milestone, a first in the world: the launch of ARC Welfare, a strategic partnership between ARC at Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer and the Israel’s Ministry of Welfare and Social Security, Israel Social Security. For the first time ever, we are taking the successful innovation model of a health system and expanding it to 360° Health which includes welfare and in the future, education as well. Just as the best healthcare innovation often comes from physicians facing critical challenges at the patient's bedside, at ARC Welfare, we are empowering welfare professionals (e.g. social workers) to transform their daily, on-the-ground insights into scalable, real-world solutions.

Avner Halperin liked thisAvner Halperin liked thisWhat can healthcare learn from aviation? Quite a lot, according to Dr. Nat Sims. A cardiac anesthesiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Sims has spent more than four decades advancing patient safety through clinician-led innovation. His work includes pioneering technologies such as smart drug infusion pumps and applying aviation human-factors and high-reliability principles to healthcare. He also happens to be an accomplished pilot, which makes the connection more than metaphorical ✈️ His career is a powerful reminder that some of the most important healthcare innovations begin by looking beyond healthcare itself, and asking what we can learn from systems where reliability is non-negotiable. We’re excited to bring that thinking to ARC Summit 2026! ARC Summit 2026 | October 20–22 | Tel Aviv 👉 Register now: https://arcsummit.org/

Avner Halperin liked thisAvner Halperin liked thisBetter outcomes. Lower costs. And healthcare systems that learn as they go. Dr. Alan John Forster has spent his career working on all three. As Vice President of Innovation, Transformation and Clinical Performance at McGill University Health Centre and Professor for Health Innovation, his work focuses on creating higher-value healthcare and building learning health systems that use data to continuously improve care. Over the years, he has led healthcare quality efforts at the local, national, and international level, contributed to more than 240 peer-reviewed publications, and was named one of Canada’s top healthcare power brokers by Maclean’s. At ARC Summit 2026, he joins a global conversation about one of healthcare transformation’s biggest challenges: how do we make innovation part of the system itself?

Avner Halperin liked thisAvner Halperin liked this🚀 Die erste ACCESS-Kohorte ist gestartet! Am vergangenen Freitag fiel der Startschuss für das ACCESS Programm des Charité BIH ARC Innovation Center (CBAIC). Es richtet sich an Mitarbeitende aus Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin und des Berlin Institute of Health in der Charité (BIH), die Probleme aus ihrem Arbeitsalltag in konkrete Lösungen übersetzen, eigene Ideen weiterentwickeln und Innovation mitgestalten wollen. Bereits 29 Ideengeber:innen und Innovator:innen sind Teil der ersten ACCESS-Kohorte. Und das ist erst der Anfang: Das Programm soll kontinuierlich wachsen und künftig bis zu vier Kohorten pro Jahr ermöglichen. Durch den Kick-off führten Jörg Schäfer, Leiter des Programms, und Silke Kniffert, operative Leiterin des ACCESS-Programms. Dank der Unterstützung von Prof. Dr. Hans Maier und Andreas Portmann konnten wir den Tag in den beeindruckenden Räumlichkeiten der Stiftung Deutsches Herzzentrum verbringen. Beim Auftakt wurde deutlich: Bei ACCESS geht es um mehr als Tools und Projektmethoden. Es geht darum, eine Kultur zu stärken, in der Mitarbeitende Probleme sichtbar machen, Ideen ausprobieren und aus ersten Ansätzen Lösungen entwickeln können. Auf dem ersten Panel diskutierten Prof. Dr. Heyo K. Kroemer, Vorstandsvorsitzender der Charité, Prof. Dr. Christopher Baum, Vorsitzender des BIH-Direktoriums und Vorstand des Translationsforschungsbereichs der Charité und Prof. Dr. Surjo R. Soekadar, Chief Innovation Officer der Charité, darüber, welche Strukturen und Freiräume es braucht, damit mehr Innovationen aus Charité und BIH in die Versorgung gelangen können. Und natürlich braucht Innovation auch eine Kultur, in der ausprobiert und gelernt werden darf. Avner Shahal, Managing Director des CBAIC, machte deshalb deutlich, dass ACCESS bewusst als Pilotprojekt startet: „Wir probieren etwas Neues aus. Das heißt auch, dass wir Fehler machen werden, und das ist gut so.“ Daran knüpfte wiederum Avner Halperin, CEO von Sheba Impact, mit dem Gedanken der „responsible imperfection“ an: Innovation entsteht indem man verantwortungsvoll testet, lernt und verbessert. Dr. Moshe Ashkenazi und Michal Singer berichteten ergänzend aus dem ARC-Umfeld, wie aus ersten Ideen Projekte entstehen können, die schließlich ihren Weg in die Patientenversorgung finden. Zum Abschluss konnten die Teilnehmenden ihre eigenen Ideen bereits in ersten Pitches vorstellen und erproben. Im nächsten Post stellen wir zwei Teilnehmende der ersten ACCESS-Kohorte vor und sprechen mit ihnen darüber, welche Ideen sie mitgebracht haben und wohin sie diese entwickeln wollen. #ACCESS #HealthcareInnovation #Charité #BIH #Startups

Clalit Innovation
AI in healthcare is no longer a future promise. It’s happening today. A new feature by Sarit Rosenblum in Yedioth Ahronoth’s weekend magazine takes a deep look at how artificial intelligence is transforming care across Clalit, from community clinics to hospitals. The article tells the story of how our predictive and proactive care platforms, like #C_Pi, are helping clinicians identify risks earlier, guide patients more effectively, and even save lives. These systems were developed over many years of collaboration between Clalit Innovation, the Clalit IT & Digital Division and the Community Health Division. Today they are fully integrated into everyday clinical work, supporting thousands of physicians and nurses while keeping the human connection at the heart of care. The story also touches on the ethical and regulatory side of AI in healthcare, including #OPTICA: Clalit’s governance framework that’s now being adopted by health organizations and tech companies around the world. For us, AI is about giving healthcare professionals better tools to understand, anticipate and care for their patients. https://lnkd.in/d2Hqby5e #AI #HealthcareInnovation #ClalitInnovation #ResponsibleAI Ran Balicer, Lihi Eisen
