OpenAI has selected Sheba Medical Center, Israel's largest hospital, as its first hospital partner outside the United States for an advanced healthcare AI program. The partnership will give Israeli physicians early access to OpenAI's clinical models and allow them to integrate Sheba's treatment protocols into tools designed to support medical decisions, research, and hospital operations.
As The Zioneer reported last week, OpenAI established its first commercial presence in Israel, hiring a local team to target startups and enterprise customers. The Sheba partnership marks the company's first healthcare-specific collaboration in the country, leveraging the hospital's reputation as a leading research and treatment center.
Sheba has been at the forefront of AI-driven medical innovation in Israel. In June, researchers from Tel Aviv University and Sheba published a study on an AI system that detects anemia via retinal scans, as previously covered by The Zioneer. The new OpenAI partnership is expected to accelerate the integration of AI into clinical workflows at the hospital.
