Israeli speech-processing startup Cordio Medical monitors patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) by smartphone

The Israeli startup developed an FDA-cleared blood pressure monitor and app that allows people to track blood pressure and more with AI tech.

Nothing says "I love you" more than a salad. No. Not really. But a new Israeli crop, the heart-shaped cucumber, is a good start. Grown in the Israeli desert using Spanish methods, the uniquely-shaped vegetable will soon be available in supermarkets throughout the country.

Once again, science supersedes fiction: Israeli company Real View has developed technology that projects a 3D hologram of the patient's heart in mid-air, helping the doctor understand the patient's condition – without putting the real heart under risk.

Roughly half of heart attack victims die within five years of their first attack, mainly because the heart's tissue lacks the ability to heal itself. Now, Israeli scientists have made the first step towards restoring heart cells using gold fibers.

For the very first time, Israeli researchers were able to turn human skin cells - taken from heart disease patients - into heart muscle cells that were then used to repair the patients’ damaged hearts.

Millions of people worldwide suffer from mitral regurgitation, a disorder of the heart in which the mitral valve does not close properly, which makes heart surgery a risky option. MitrAssist is working on a solution.

Cardiologist until now worked under the assumption that the heart cannot heal itself. But an Israeli study, which stumbled upon the heart's self-regenerating stem cells, challenges this notion.

Scientists have grown fully functional heart muscles by reprogramming stem cells and skin cells from patients. They found that these reprogrammed cells can “reset” the rhythm of any unhealthy heart tissue that is placed around them.

Israeli scientists for the first time succeeded in transforming the skin cells of heart-failure patients into healthy heart-muscle cells, using stem cell therapy. The method was tested in rats, suggesting that it may be possible to repair an organ with one’s own tissue.

A t-shirt that tests heart activity, called Niturit has recently been developed by an Israeli-Portuguese team. The t-shirt can test heart activity and transmit the data to a medical center in real time. The European Space Agency is already using the shirt to test their astronauts.
