Table of Contents

We live in an era where technology and medicine are becoming more and more dependent on one another. Israel is stepping up to the plate and offering the best in medical and technological innovation.  According to data from Start-Up Nation Central, there are more than 1300 life science innovation companies currently active in Israel.  These companies include digital health, medical devices, and pharmaceutical companies.

Here are some amazing Israeli medical accomplishments of the past year:

Glucose Monitoring System

DarioHealth Corp developed a pocket sized blood glucose monitoring system geared for type 2 diabetics. The system syncs with a Smart Diabetes Management smartphone application. The product allows people to take control of their sugar levels and track their key diabetes metrics. It also helps to manage people’s diabetes and record their blood glucose levels in real time. The system harnesses the power of social media and allows people to share their information with family members and caregivers. It even boasts an emergency hypo alert with GPS location in case of emergency.

Replacing injections with pills

Oramed Pharmaceuticals is a Jerusalem-based company. It has developed the technology to change injection based therapies into oral form. They are currently in advance trials to test this technology for diabetes and are expanding to other areas of medicine. So for people who hate needing insulin shots or shots of any kind help in the form of a pill could be on the horizon.
