Our second report from Israel, part of our #SmartHealthSystems study, shows how a small country succeeds in effectively bringing innovation to regular care practices. Example: Telemedicine
As part of our #SmartHealthSystems study our look at Israel shows how a small nation has focused on big data in the healthcare sector for the last two decades – and with a giant database of patient information, also wants to become a paradise for international research.
