Innovation Highlights from the Past Year

Sheba’s rise reflects landmark achievements across research, collaboration, and technology:

ARC Innovation Accelerator Launches in Boston
Partnering with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Sheba’s ARC opens its first U.S. accelerator in Boston, a soft landing for startups from ARC’s global network (London, Melbourne, Singapore, Berlin, New Zealand). This hub connects AI-powered digital solutions directly to clinical challenges.

NVIDIA, ARC & Mount Sinai Decode Human Genome
Sheba’s ARC collaborates with NVIDIA and Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai on a three-year AI initiative targeting the 98% of the human genome yet unexplored.

Methodology Behind the Recognition

Newsweek and Statista evaluated 2,500+ hospitals across 32 countries using four pillars: hospital quality metrics, global medical expert recommendations, patient surveys, and Statista’s Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) survey. This multi-perspective approach measures clinical research advancement and real-world patient outcomes.
Sheba also ranks among Newsweek’s World’s Best Smart Hospitals and Best Specialized Hospitals, solidifying its position among elite global medical institutions.
