<strong>Israel</strong>: Life Science Powerhouse<br />

<strong>Israel</strong>i physicians, scientists, researchers and engineers have propelled the country's Medical Device industry to the<br />

leading edge of innovation and creativity, spanning all fields of medicine.<br />

Quick facts:<br />

• <strong>Israel</strong> is considered to be the second largest supplier of Medical Device solutions worldwide.<br />

• <strong>Israel</strong> ranks #1 in Medical Device patents per capita (#4 in absolute figures).<br />

• There are over 1,100 life science companies in <strong>Israel</strong>; 65% of them are Medical Device firms.<br />

Several global medical corporations have found <strong>Israel</strong>i companies to be attractive business partners. <strong>Israel</strong>i<br />

companies have proven their excellence in R&D, and in implementing breakthrough technologies in the Medical<br />

Device industry. Some of the leading multinationals holding equity positions in <strong>Israel</strong> include GE Medical, Philips,<br />

Siemens, Boston Scientific, Johnson & Johnson, and Medtronic.<br />

A strong entrepreneurial spirit pervades <strong>Israel</strong>i society. Perhaps fueled by a young country’s need to develop<br />

creative solutions quickly and cost-effectively, or inspired by improvisation and calculated risk-taking, it seems that<br />

innovation is an <strong>Israel</strong>i way of life.<br />

• <strong>Israel</strong>’s 16 Technology Transfer Organizations (TTOs) showcase the creative fusion between universities,<br />

hospital systems, businesses and the military. All of the TTOs are dedicated to encouraging and promoting<br />

research projects and military technology from the lab to the world market.<br />

• Healthcare is a priority in a well-educated country. <strong>Israel</strong> spends 8% of its GDP on healthcare. It boasts a very<br />

high level of healthcare and an extensive infrastructure of quality resources that range from local community<br />

clinics to world-renowned trauma centers. The country has a high ratio of MDs to population (3.5 per 1,000).<br />

The country’s entrepreneurial spirit runs through this sector as well: Many <strong>Israel</strong>i physicians are both early<br />

adopters of new technologies and developers of original technologies in their own right.<br />

• <strong>Israel</strong> has a highly skilled workforce. The country has the greatest number of scientists and engineers per<br />

capita in the world; 24% of the workforce have academic degrees.<br />

• The defense community nurtures the life science industry. Extensive investment in developing state-of-the-art<br />

technologies for defense has proved fertile ground for advanced life science applications. Two very wellknown<br />

innovations emerged from Rafael Advanced Defense Systems: PillCam TM , a video capsule endoscope<br />

(developed by Given Imaging), and cryotherapy for the treatment of cancer (developed by Galil Medical).<br />

• Strong institutional incentives support the development of new technologies. The 23 government-licensed<br />

technological incubators, which began in the 1990s as a way to provide employment opportunities for new<br />

immigrant scientists and engineers (many from the former Soviet Union), has evolved as a successful<br />

framework for advancing and commercializing early-stage life science technologies. In fact, in 2008,<br />

approximately 38% of the 1,175 incubator graduate companies continued beyond the incubator stage to<br />

function as mature companies.<br />

Nearly half of <strong>Israel</strong>’s technological incubators focus on the life sciences or biotechnology. At the end of 2008,<br />

41% of all incubated companies were involved in medical devices, and 18% in biotechnology. Of the $360<br />

million in grant money awarded to incubator companies by <strong>Israel</strong>’s Office of the Chief Scientist in 2008, 25.4%<br />

went to those involved in the life sciences.<br />

• The world’s venture capital community keeps its focus on <strong>Israel</strong>. In 2008, about 80 <strong>Israel</strong>i and international VC<br />

companies targeted specific investment efforts on <strong>Israel</strong>. Of these, nine are focused solely on life sciences.<br />

Company at a Glance<br />

Located in Arad, <strong>Israel</strong>, 3QBD Ltd. is an ISO certified startup medical device company. The company has<br />

developed the VGTest, a gynecological diagnostic device based on Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) which is<br />

used in the detection of vaginal infections.<br />

In December 2009, 3QBD Ltd. received the European CE mark for the VGTest, a device capable of detecting<br />

and returning a positive/negative result for Bacterial Vaginosis, the most prevalent women’s vaginal<br />

infection, within 60 seconds.<br />

Future development plans for 3QBD include expanding research further into the medical field, to detect<br />

additional major infections and diseases and offer rapid, accurate results. Other applications for the<br />

technology include cancer, food and livestock.<br />

IMS (Ion Mobility Spectrometry) Technology<br />

3QBD's technology is based on the well-established and scientifically proven Ion Mobility Spectrometry<br />

(IMS) technology – first used successfully to detect drugs and explosives. Today IMS is being used to detect<br />

presence and type of infection.<br />

Chemical changes in living systems, or degradation of cells after death through enzymatic and microbial<br />

processes, are accompanied by the breakdown of amino acids and production of biogenic amines.<br />

Pathological conditions in the human body may be expressed in the formation of biogenic amines, so that<br />

elevated levels of biogenic amines may be indicative of dysfunctions. IMS is a sensitive instrumental<br />

technique for detecting volatile compounds. It is based on measuring the velocity of ions (ion mobility)<br />

drifting through a gas bath under the influence of an electric field.<br />

The Product<br />

The device works by measuring biogenic amines that are present at elevated levels in infections and<br />

diseases, and returns a rapid accurate result. In the case of Bacterial Vaginosis the result is provided within<br />

one minute. In addition, the VGTest for BV spares the physician from having to perform the Amsel Test and<br />

“whiff tests” of vaginal fluid, or spend time waiting for laboratory Gram Stain results.<br />

Technology & Product(s)<br />

BSP has pioneered the clinical implementation of high-frequency ECG and has developed it into a fast,<br />

accurate, low-cost, simple to operate and non-radiating technology for detecting IHD with greater clinical<br />

value than the current standard ECG. The company’s proprietary HyperQ technology extracts and analyses<br />

the high-frequency components of the ECG and provides a unique diagnostic index. Thousands of patients<br />

have been tested with the HyperQ system to date, demonstrating consistently that HyperQ is far superior to<br />

conventional ECG both in sensitivity and specificity, with the potential to save up to 50% of the unnecessary<br />

radioactive imaging procedures, while improving the standard of care. BSP’s intellectual property portfolio is<br />

backed by four granted patents and 14 filed applications in different stages.<br />

HyperQ EX-300 Stress System: The HyperQ EX-300 Stress system enables an accurate and risk-free<br />

procedure for the early diagnosis of Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD). HyperQ stress testing is performed in a<br />

similar manner to a standard clinical stress test, providing the conventional stress ECG results, and the<br />

HyperQ test results, with extraordinary clinical accuracy. The system is offered as a combination of software<br />

and hardware that connects to a treadmill or stationary bicycle and constitutes a full ergometry (stress ECG)<br />

station that is FDA (510k) cleared and CE certified.<br />

Goal<br />

Objectives: The company’s primary strategic objectives include establishing HyperQ as the first line modality<br />

for monitoring and diagnosis of Ischemic Heart Disease in cardiology clinics, ambulatory and hospital<br />

settings, and attaining reimbursement code and premium coverage over competitors for the HyperQ<br />

diagnostic modality in the US. Growth in market penetration and market share will be achieved through a<br />

combination of business partnerships with equipment and healthcare service providers, and by the<br />

establishment of a global marketing and sales presence.<br />

Target Businesses: Distributors specializing in cardiovascular diagnostic devices, leading<br />

manufacturers in the field of cardiovascular diagnostic devices for potential business partnerships, leading<br />

C-Boot’s patented system is a wearable sleeve comprising a unique pneumatic brain and several inflatable<br />

chambers that wrap the leg. Using the body’s own kinetic energy while an individual is walking, the system<br />

inflates the chambers in a gradient and sequential cycle which leads to blood release from both the<br />

superficial and deep veins. This strengthens the body's natural tendency to enhance lymphatic and venous<br />

return, and enables the blood to re-circulate toward the heart.<br />

C-Boot concept allows patients to maintain complete mobility without the need for cumbersome external<br />

pumps. The technology is protected by number of patents surrounding the use of kinetic energy to drive the<br />

pneumatic action, as well as the sophisticated internal mechanisms that allow for the pneumatic action to<br />

also be driven by a very small and portable compressor.<br />

Soft laser treatment biostimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms on a cellular and systemic level.<br />

The result: each kind of cell receives the energy required for activation of its optimal functioning in the body,<br />

thus allowing it to “self-heal” and naturally overcome specific problems.<br />

B-CURE LASER - an international breakthrough in soft laser therapy for professional and personal treatment<br />

of the aforesaid indications.<br />

Thanks to an exclusive, patent-pending development, we have created an exceptional combination: the<br />

power and full coherence of a clinic's soft laser device over a large area of 4.5 cm², with a portable,<br />

rechargeable, safe and easy-to-use device – all at a reasonable price.<br />

The result: a perfect combination of the most effective therapy with the ability to provide immediate and<br />

Sleep testing - at home<br />

Considered “best in class,” WatchPAT (FDA cleared and CE marked) is a wrist mounted device for at-home<br />

testing of sleep apneas and sleep staging (REM/Deep Sleep/Light Sleep/Wake stages). WatchPAT also<br />

measures snoring & body position and provides a perfect combination of natural sleep at home with sleeplab<br />

level data.<br />

WatchPAT works without the multiple cables and electrodes needed by other technologies that provide indepth<br />

analysis of sleep, so it has an incredibly low failure rate. Yet the physician gets a comprehensive report<br />

with all the clinical parameters needed for patient treatment and monitoring. While the data are calculated<br />

automatically by the WatchPAT’s software, the physician can easily edit the data as well.<br />

Noninvasive cardiovascular risk assessment<br />

Atherosclerosis is the clinical manifestation of endothelial dysfunction. Leading the field of endothelial<br />

function assessment, EndoPAT (FDA cleared and CE marked) is used in pre-eminent clinical institutions,<br />

research centers and Pharma studies. The noninvasive EndoPAT has been validated by nearly 100<br />

Company at a Glance<br />

The creators of HemaClear® saw the need for a new, different kind of tourniquet, one that would be simple,<br />

safe, sterile, and more cost-effective than any device on the market today. They had a vision, and realized it.<br />

HemaClear® is the first and only single-use device that exsanguinates, occludes, and provides a clearer<br />

surgical field. Beginning with a sterile field allows surgeons to place the device closer to the site than ever<br />

before. Its narrower size provides a larger, dryer, and clearer surgical field, for a better view of anatomical<br />

structures. Instant, on-the-spot sterility, and greater access to the surgical site assures a safer, more<br />

successful surgical outcome.<br />

Its innovative technology not only reduces blood loss, infection, and the volume of ischemic tissue, it’s<br />

simplicity saves precious OR set-up time…as much as fifteen minutes…and over 100 separate steps that<br />

can add as much as $300 to every procedure.<br />

In fact, HemaClear® is so revolutionary, it represents the single greatest advance in tourniquet technology<br />

since the Esmarch bandage.<br />

HemaClear® has been proven worldwide in over 150,000 surgical cases… from the OR…to disaster-struck<br />

areas all around the world (including the recent earthquake in Haiti).<br />

There are two methods to measure pulse oximetry: by transmission through a body part or by reflection. In<br />

general, the transmission method can only be used on limited areas of the body, such as fingers, earlobes,<br />

etc. Furthermore, in some instances when the transmission method is used, physiological conditions such as<br />

stress and temperature can affect the accuracy of pulse oximetry readings.<br />

SPO Medical Systems has developed patented sensors that work accurately during physical activity. This<br />

technique uses a reflective method whereby a very small sensor placed on the body at various locations has<br />

the ability to measure oxygen saturation and heart pulse rate.<br />

Innovative aspects and main advantages:<br />

• The sensor technology very precisely captures vital cardiovascular parameters such as pulse rate, pulse<br />

rhythm and pulse pressure.<br />

• It consumes very little power, so it is useful for continuous monitoring of people in non-clinical<br />

environments.<br />

• It does not require tight skin contact. Therefore, it does not cause occlusion or discomfort and can be<br />

worn comfortably around the clock for long periods of time. It is small and lightweight enough to be<br />

easily embedded in wristwatch-type devices.<br />

Talshir Medical Technologies Ltd., founded in 2008, is an exclusive licensed manufacturer and marketer of<br />

NeuroVision – a technology that enhances vision neurologically and is used to improve and correct<br />

various visual impairments.<br />

NeuroVision was developed in <strong>Israel</strong>, where the company was established in 1999 by Dr. Uri Polat, a brain<br />

scientist from the Weizmann Institute of Science. In August 2001, NeuroVision received FDA 510(K)<br />

approval for the treatment of Adult Amblyopia (lazy eye), which until then has been considered untreatable.<br />

The company relocated to Singapore in 2004 under the company name NeuroVision, Inc. due to government<br />

interest in the treatment of pediatric myopia in the Asia-Pacific Region. During this time, the technology has<br />

successfully treated more than 3,000 patients in Europe, the US, and Asia. In 2009, NeuroVision was<br />

purchased by RevitalVision LLC, and operations were relocated to the United States in Kansas City, Kansas.<br />

The company's studies have been published in multiple peer reviewed scientific publications. Awareness and<br />

recognition of the company and the technology is consistently increasing in the US and worldwide.<br />

The NeuroVision technology is a non-invasive, patient-specific, perceptual learning program based on<br />

visual stimulation. It facilitates neural connections at the cortical level through a computerized visual<br />

training regime using Gabor patches, to improve contrast sensitivity and visual acuity. As visual perception<br />

depends on both the optical input received from the eye and the neural processing of that input in the visual<br />

cortex, NeuroVision technology improves quality of vision (contrast sensitivity and visual acuity) by<br />

enhancing neural processing in the primary visual cortex.<br />

The NeuroVision training system is interactive web-based computer software that provides a series of<br />

individualized visual stimuli, which are designed to enhance the neural interactions in the visual cortex. The<br />

treatment is sold only through eye doctors, who examine and monitor the patient's progress.<br />

The average vision improvement is more than 2 lines on the visual acuity eye chart and 100% increase in<br />

contrast sensitivity.<br />

Neurovision is the only clinically proven and FDA approved therapy for Amblyopic Adults. The program is also<br />

used to treat Low Myopia, Early Presbyopia, Post Cataract, Post LASIK (laser) and Low Vision patients. FDA &<br />

CE-Mark approved.<br />

of micro-droplets consisting of saline solution and gas (air or medical gas) that is accelerated to velocities<br />

that reach 200m/sec., providing a versatile and precise means for performing a wide variety of skin<br />

treatments.<br />

The pressure created by the high-velocity jet stretches the skin at the point of contact, causing<br />

"barophoresis" due to pressure variance; the skin in the high-pressure zone forms a concave surface and<br />

micro-canals in the outer layer of the skin broaden as the skin stretches and new canals are created. This<br />

process facilitates hydration, cleansing and purifying of the treated area, opens access to the skin's inner<br />

layers, allowing for deeper penetration, and the introduction of vitamins, anti-aging and other solutions.<br />
