"AR computing!" Say goodbye to traditional laptops. An Israeli entrepreneur has innovated a technology that bids farewell to our traditional laptops. Tamir Berliner- founder of Sightful and the innovator behind the Spacetop G1! What is the Spacetop G1? Spatial computer that seamlessly integrates the functionality of a laptop with the capabilities Of Augmented Reality (AR). A 100-inch virtual workspace replaces the need for a physical screen. Spacetop G1 adapts to various environments, whether at home, in the office, or on the go. This represents a step forward in integrating AR technologies with daily tasks. Spatial with AR transforms how we interact with digital content, personally and professionally. The real test will be in its execution. The usability of the AR interface, the battery life, the comfort of AR glasses, etc., are crucial. I believe Sightful has managed to address these practical concerns effectively. And I am awaiting the official release in india. Congrats to Tamir Berliner and the team for their bold move and fantastic innovation. The Spacetop G1 is an evolution in how we think about personal computing.

In a historic move, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is expected to approve the Department of Health's recommendation to reschedule cannabis from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug. This decision acknowledges the plant's medical potential, removes barriers, and opens new opportunities in research and industry. While the ongoing situation in Gaza weighs heavily on our minds and hearts, as we constantly have our brothers and sisters held hostage in gaza in our thoughts and prayers, it is our duty to also continue our lives to the best of our ability and stay informed about significant global developments. This landmark shift in U.S. cannabis policy has far-reaching implications for the medical community, businesses, and society as a whole. Read more about the details and potential impact of this decision in my latest article [link below]. I discuss the differences between Schedule I and Schedule III drugs, what this means for cannabis, the federal implications, and where this could lead us in the future. As the global cannabis market continues to grow, this move by the U.S. government marks a turning point that may influence policies in other countries and accelerate the trend towards market regulation and potential legalization. #cannabis #medicalcannabis #cannabispolicy #historicshift https://lnkd.in/dkYtd6RV

CASE STORY - PART II ------- We are on with the second part of story about our implementation to Tel Aviv Medical Center - T.A.M.C Ltd. This time it's more detailed, and tells about how we moved this medical center from 6 systems to one. All-in-one is one of the basic concepts of our software. We really thing, that using multiple solutions (sometimes over 30) only make your clinic way less efficient. If you have a software mess in your medical center or chain of clinics - that one is for you 😊 https://lnkd.in/eQM-tNK8

Due to the events in Israel, I've been getting many questions from Founders & CEOs about fundraising and building partnerships in the US. Having worked there for 12 years, summarizing the key points from the conversations here: 1. As the United States is more isolated than Europe, Americans are less exposed to war and global issues, which can make them more sensitive to them. It’s important to address this head-on and explain what life is like in Israel and the real impact. Although your U.S. counterparts may be polite, they will most likely be concerned about it. 2. U.S. companies are known to sign deals faster than other regions such as in APAC or EMEA. For this reason, it’s important to respond quickly to messages, with accurate information, and to be prepared. Structure the deal quickly and carefully – this is in contrast to a place like China, where you might work on the relationship for many months and start business proceedings. In the U.S., the business takes precedent over the relationship i.e. the merits of the deal. 3. I’ve seen Israelis assume that they are similar in professional style to Americans, but this is typically not the case. Israelis can be perceived as casual, direct, and sometimes arrogant; and we need to be aware of that. It can help if you’re able to work with someone who has experience in both worlds and can navigate cultures. 4. To sign a large deal or partnership, traveling to the U.S. is typically required. Being there to shake hands is very important, and most investors will not agree to a deal without multiple physical meetings to create both a personal and professional relationship. Although the deal is paramount, partners feel they are investing in the CEO/founders just as much, if not more, than the product. Image source: Bram Nash / Unsplash

Today is the GAAD (Global Accessibility Awareness Day) Foundation Israel is one of the leading countries regarding web accessibility. The Israeli Accessibility Regulation and Standards demands that all websites since 2017 be fully AA WCAG 2.0 accessible. The challenges we face now are 1. how we can improve the accessibility quality will be good, 2. train and motivate disabled users to use accessible sites and give feedback when needed improvement. I'm sharing Access Israel's first campaign to promote internet accessibility, it's a good One! https://lnkd.in/eK8CXRS6 #A11y #accessibility

Are AI tools just another technology we are implementing? Last week I had the privilege to take part in the German Israeli Healthcare Forum (GIHF) on AI. The convention brought together key opinion leaders to discuss the future of AI in medicine. I enjoyed meeting there Prof. Ronni Gamzu and Esti Shelly. I had the honor of joining a panel to discuss the rapid implementation of new technologies in healthcare organizations. We implement these technologies using the current regulatory frame work, assuring quality, accessibility, equity privacy, etc. as in all other services we provide to our patients. But as these technologies become more and more advanced new considerations come into play: Representation: Do these AI tools sufficiently represent our local population, including minorities? Israel is a multi-ethnic, multicultural state, and AI models must be trained to reflect this diversity. Accountability: Who is responsible for mistakes made by AI? Can a patient sue an algorithm? does our insurance cover AI errors? Transparency: Should we inform patients that AI was involved in their medical recommendations? do they have a choice? We are living in exponential times where events accelerate rapidly. While we embrace the abundant options provided by AI and other digital tools, we must maintain caution and perspective when adopting them, especially in healthcare. The recent EU AI Act is an essential building block in this journey. #AI #healthcare regulation #Healthcare AI #patients rights #accountability AI

#Call_For_Proposals #Urgent_Mental_Health Calling on Israel's local authorities to submit an application to participate in a unique project leading innovation in mental health 📢 All details in the link in the first comment 👇 🧐 Who are we? CIVIX's Urgent Challenges Track iwas established with the aims of making a significant positive impact on the lives of residents in Israel by fostering  comprehensive responses from local authorities to pressing national needs . The first cycle is set to launch very soon, focusing on the mental health challenge faced by individuals and communities in light of the events of October 7th. Authorities selected to participate in the project will establish an innovation team that will undergo unique training and receive methodological guidance in research and challenge characterization, tailored to the needs of residents. The team will develop innovative solutions aimed at influencing and improving the well-being and mental resilience of the authority's residents. 🧐 How do we do it? Our working methods are based on design thinking and data-driven decision-making. Through our unique work processes, we help teams explore the challenge as it manifests in the authority, learn about the residents' experiences and needs, and develop new solutions and services to assist and improve their quality of life. The tools that teams will experience during the project can also be used in the future to address complex challenges. Throughout the collaborative work, we will lead data-driven and resident-focused processes: conducting in-depth research in collaboration with residents, analyzing and deep understanding of complex problems, and designing necessary work routines and infrastructures for measuring the impact on residents and evaluation of the initiatives themselves. ⏰ Timetable: May 7th: Open day for local authorities interested in participating in the program - mandatory. Deadline for proposal submissions: May 23, 2024. To learn more and ask any question about the pathway before submitting an application, the program team is ready to assist with any inquiries via email: mental.health@civix.org.il Join Us! 💪 #Design_Thinking #Urban_Innovation #Innovation_Teams #Local_Authorities #Innovation #Community #Communication #Program #Submission #Open_Day #Authorities #Regional_Clusters #Local_Government #Mental_Health #Wellbeing Bloomberg Philanthropies The Peres Center for Peace and Innovation Itai Eiges Neta Rosenthal Sivan Zelovitch Keren Hadas Zemer Ben-Ari Lee Broide Roee Bigger Bili Regev Mariela Ben Shach Tamar Roemer Tair Avni Moran Barak Vered Shapira Liron Meshulam Tami Wiesel Amalia Shemtov Bar Mizrahi Naomi Slaney Roman Grinshtein Hadas Lanciano Alon Shtayer Or Harpaz Yakir Partush
