ARMI has been working to advance U.S-Israeli health technology and health security under the IBX BioEconomy Expansion Program during the current fiscal year. As a result of that project, ARMI has established an Advisory Panel of key opinion leaders, conducted an almost 100-person road mapping effort, surveyed and/or interviewed more than 70 start-up companies, and is hosting a bi-lateral conference to discuss ways to improve U.S-Israeli health technology and health security. ARMI is proposing the following to further advance health security: 1) create a Health Tech Hub to identify start-ups, conduct technology “health” assessments, conduct “boot camp” seminars on quality and regulatory requirements, and match start-ups and technologies of merit with advisors to better prepare and ensure success; 2) leverage the Advisory Panel and Government connections that have been created to identify key health care problems/deficiencies and provide them to creative start-ups looking for a challenge; to identify opportunities to improve quality, regulatory, and reimbursement policies; and to identify opportunities to improve health data architectures, data security, and data technologies/accessibility between the U.S. and Israel; and 3) provide business, intellectual property, reimbursement, and funding expertise through the Health Tech Hub.
