. “To date – through the Summit – 12 Israel-based companies have secured business relationships with leading US healthcare organizations” including such companies as Medial EarlySign and MDClone.
Medial EarlySign’s machine learning-based solution was implemented this year in SLUCare patient-care offices to help flag patients at greater risk of harboring lower GI disorders, from medical data analysis. MDClone signed a strategic partnership agreement with the Institute for Informatics at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis to introduce a new approach to healthcare data access, privacy, analytics, and research.
This year, digital health companies from Israel, Sweden, Portugal, Canada and the United Kingdom were selected to pitch their products to 75 senior leaders from St. Louis and Midwest hospitals and corporations, partner organizations from throughout the Midwest, and venture capitalists.
