In a rapidly aging world, finding new innovations to improve healthcare diagnosis and treatment has become a number one priority. Despite its tiny size, Israel has become one of the leading players in this vital field.

From brain-tech to non-invasive technologies, breakthrough advances to mobile medical devices, Israeli innovations in health are revolutionizing world healthcare.

In two talks to be given in the US next week, ISRAEL21c Associate Editor Viva Sarah Press takes an inside look at some of the most exciting health technologies now emerging from the start-up nation, and examines what makes the country such a dynamo in this field.

“The global challenge is to find answers and cures that will help us live longer and healthier lives. And Israelis are always up for a good challenge,” she says.

The Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester is hosting Press on May 4 for a talk at Temple Beth El. On May 5, she’ll present at the Jewish Federation of Omaha.
