Docdok enters collaboration with Israel’s Top-ranking hospital

The ARC Innovation Center is an initiative of the Sheba Medical Center, a top 10 ranking hospital in Israel, aimed at bringing together clinicians with innovators, scientists, startups, high-level developers, large corporate companies, investors, and academia to jointly identify and address unmet clinical needs. In addition to offering a platform to collaborate and accelerating market entry of new solutions for the healthcare ecosystem, the program offers seed and round A funding to early-stage companies.

One of the latest beneficiaries of the program is the Basel based startup docdok.health. Founded in 2017, the startup developed a solution that allows innovators, medtech and pharma companies to significantly accelerate the design, validation and go-to-market for digital therapeutics by using one single platform to conduct eClinical trials and to deliver personalized healthcare. This approach supports the paradigm shift from volume to value-based healthcare. Besides running a full-owned subsidiary in Israel, the solution is currently being used in 4 countries by clients ranging from (university) hospitals, pharmaceutical and medtech companies to physicians in ambulatory settings.

According to Yves Nordmann M.D., Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of docdok.health, the open ecosystem approach of the ARC, together with the access to big data, PIs and patients make the newly established collaboration a perfect fit, since one-third of all clinical trials in Israel today are conducted at Sheba, focusing on the development of novel drugs, new medical technologies and cutting edge health innovation, and the Sheba has been committed to being paperless since 2004.
