The high-tech conference circuit in Israel has been a strange one this year. Many events are cancelled, and those that go ahead tend to be attended mostly by Israelis, rather than overseas guests.

The organizers of the health tech conference BioMed decided to go ahead this year anyway, and judging by the turnout and the quality of the exhibition, it’s a good thing they did.

Health tech is always a niche worth following, and this year – as always – there were a great deal of interesting innovations on show. 

Reporter Zachy Hennessey attended, and put together a list of the most promising emerging med-tech at the show. Check out his story below.
