The Dangor Foundation, in partnership with the UK-Israel Tech Hub at the British Embassy in Israel, launched the project Dangor Academy of Health Technology today.
The Academy seeks to introduce leading Israeli technology to UK healthcare partners – and encourage the development and adoption of transformative technologies in Britain to improve patient care. Through this initiative, Israeli startups will gain critical insights into the national healthcare system and the UK healthcare system, collaborating with healthcare organizations to bridge gaps and foster mutually beneficial partnerships. The academy is designed for startups specializing in healthcare solutions based on artificial intelligence or automation. Up to eight participants will be selected for each group.
The first group will focus on artificial intelligence, or automation, to revolutionize healthcare, and will begin in January with an eight-week educational program in Israel, online, and in the United Kingdom. Participants will gain an understanding of the UK healthcare system, including regulatory affairs, research and development and trials. They will connect with key partners and receive guidance from experts in both Israel and the UK.
The final session will be in London, followed by a three-day delegation visit where the startups will develop deeper relationships, forge new partnerships, and meet faculty in person. This experience will include visits to both the NHS and private healthcare organisations.
British Ambassador to Israel Simon Walters said: “This initiative is an exemplary example of how the strong foundation of our UK-Israel technology relationship connects people, businesses and nations.”
Keren Shurkin, Director of the British-Israeli Technology Center at the British Embassy in Israel, said: “We are delighted to launch the Dangor Academy for Health Technology, inspired by the impactful contributions made by Israeli technology companies with NHS trust over recent years.” “Their innovation has led to multi-site trials and important partnerships with UK healthcare partners who are adopting these technologies to enhance patient care in areas such as rehabilitation, therapy and surgery. Through this academy, we aim to accelerate significant progress, and drive meaningful improvements in care processes.” health and patient outcomes.
The Dangor Healthcare Academy was created by the Dangor Foundation and the Dangor family to encourage collaboration between Israeli health technologies and the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom.
The UK Israel Tech Hub, a not-for-profit project operating from the British Embassy in Israel since 2011, was established by the UK Government to drive economic growth and strengthen strategic partnerships between British and Israeli innovation.
