MACCABI HEALTH SERVICES
Maccabi Research and Innovation Centre (KSM), was founded in 2016. The research centre has a unique access to Maccabi’s professional abilities and wealth of medical knowledge, including a large database of 2.5 million members with 30 years of data collection. Since its establishment Maccabitech – the epidemiological & clinical research arm of Maccabi Healthcare Services at KSM mined MHS’s rich medical, biological, and demographic data on its patient population, collected over decades of providing care. The work has facilitated the publication of over 200 research papers, enabled ten major collaborations, and aided in the development of well over 20 novel products and tools in healthcare practice to improve outcomes for MHS and beyond. The KSM is a major player in data-driven medical research and operates by enabling many researchers to access and work with MHS data and by internally developing research projects and algorithm-based precision medicine tools. Macbbitech’s activities span in four primary, mutually reinforcing domains: epidemiological investigation and
observational studies, Clinical trials, the Biobank and Product development.
