One example of this is Aviv Scientific, an Israeli medtech company that conducts research and clinical treatment of age-related cognitive and functional decline to maximize human performance. Last month the firm brought in $40 million in an oversubscribed Series B funding round. Aviv Scientific develops age-related cognitive and functional decline and novel applications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to maximize human performance.
And just yesterday, Navina, an Israeli medtech startup that offers a clinical platform for primary care, secured $15 million in Series A funding. The Navina solution uses artificial intelligence AI to help doctors make the day to day decisions on their patients’ health care needs.
