Udi Goori, GM of Carelon Digital Platforms Israel (formerly Anthem Israel) shares how Israeli healthtech startups help his company improve the lives of millions of Americans

“We believe the best way to innovate is from the bottom up, to start small, but move fast - what I like to call ‘speedboat innovation’. We work with many innovative healthtech startups such as K Health, which was strictly working in the local market when we met them. But through working with us over four years we now enable their digital AI-driven triage and symptom checker tool to be accessed by Elevance’s millions of members.

Another example is TytoCare which produces a handheld exam kit and app that lets you perform guided medical exams with a healthcare provider, anytime, anywhere.

The company was very successful working with local HMOs such as Clalit in Israel and after two years of working with them we were able to integrate their system and scale it to the U.S., where we currently ship thousands of their devices (kits) to the U.S. Israel served as a great test case and we helped them get their solution to the American healthcare market.”
