ARC – The Center for Digital Innovation at Sheba Medical Center
ARC – THE CENTER FOR DIGITAL INNOVATION AT SHEBA MEDICAL CENTER
The ARC Center (Accelerate, Redesign, Collaborate) for Digital Innovation at Sheba Medical Center in Israel brings together all the players in digital medicine – physicians, researchers, startups, industry leaders, academia, investors, and top-tier medical centers for the goal of redesigning healthcare. The driving mission behind ARC Center is to improve patient care, using innovation to provide real value to patients.
ARC Center is located on the vast campus of Sheba Medical Center, an environment permeated by creativity, collaboration, and groundbreaking innovation. Sheba has been a paperless, digital hospital since 2004, and the ARC startups have direct access to both the data and medical teams at Sheba, as well as the opportunity to pilot and apply their technologies within the hospital.
In addition to incubating outside startups, ARC releases internally developed technology. The program runs approximately 20 to 30 startups each year and operates a large digital health innovation fund in conjunction with TriVentures, a Herzliya-based venture capital firm. ARC’s model of sustainable innovation has been so successful that it has already been exported to other countries, such as ARC Ottawa in Ontario, Canada.

Research & Innovation at ARC
Current projects at ARC include:
Predictive Analytics and Artificial Intelligence
Various advanced systems are being designed to predict how a patient will respond over time to a particular disease or condition. These models can be implemented by physicians, enabling them to make informed decisions about the most effective, individualized treatment programs for each patient. For example, progressive software has been designed to help diagnose CT scans based on information compiled from Sheba’s databases, which include more than one million CT scans since 1998.
Telemedicine
ARC is currently working on several telemedicine projects, all of which involve remote care with sensors, cameras and other technologies that work to help patients receive advanced, quality healthcare from home. This reduces the burden on hospitals without compromising patient care. One example of a successful telemedicine project is remote cardiac rehabilitation – a dedicated app that provides patients with home-based rehabilitation following a cardiac event.
Venture Capital Fund
In conjunction with TriVentures, a venture capital fund was established at ARC Center in order to ensure that medical innovation progresses from development to the commercial market, creating significant value for patients. The fund, TV-ARC, focuses on investing in young startups and companies that specialize in digital medicine and innovative medical technologies.
