Inventing Health: Israeli Innovations in Life Sciences

Click To View Video

Israel is a world leader in both innovation and medicine. Combine the two and you get great inventions that prevent, heal and monitor many health conditions.

Ever wonder how the Chilean miners trapped underground for 69 days kept their feet from smelling or getting infected? An Israeli innovation involving the use of copper in textiles not only helped them but can also reduce hospital infections greatly. Need to check your temperature, blood sugar or EEG in an instant? A new smartphone now does all that and more. Want to correct a baby's MTA deformities in 6 weeks, without the need for heavy braces on his legs? A small brace on the foot will do it. These are just a few of the innovations on display, in this, the first of two videos about Israeli innovation in life sciences (the second will be uploaded in November).
