Our efforts have led to the more than 1,300 pilots to date and the implementation of over 160 projects in the Israeli healthcare system.

Through these activities and an ecosystem-to-ecosystem approach, HealthIL has established itself as a key player in the global healthcare landscape, actively contributing to the advancement of healthcare systems worldwide.

Over the years, the HealthIL team has promoted flagship topics of national and global importance, such as: Health Equity, Burnout of Healthcare Employees, Elderly Health, Cloud Policy in Healthcare, Climate Health, Rehabilitation, Healthcare Industry 4.0 and more.
