Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer announced a first-of-its-kind global collaboration with OpenAI, aiming to become a fully AI-powered hospital. The move will provide medical teams with access to a unique AI platform for clinical, research, administrative, and operational work, while maintaining data security and patient privacy.

Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer in Ramat Gan announced a first-of-its-kind global collaboration with OpenAI, aiming to become a fully AI-powered hospital. The move will allow doctors, nurses, researchers, and other staff to securely access an AI platform that synthesizes medical findings and updated evidence-based medicine to make more informed and faster clinical decisions. Sheba is the first international hospital to collaborate with OpenAI in this manner, and in return will provide clinical insights and research that will contribute to the development of AI technologies in healthcare organizations worldwide. Physicians will be able to access millions of research documents, clinical guidelines, and public health sources, including citations and references to journals. The platform will also support administrative and operational work, assist in automating routine tasks, and reduce documentation burden. Prof. Yitzhak Kreiss, director of Sheba, said that OpenAI's choice of Sheba as the first international partner in healthcare is an expression of trust. Prof. Eyal Zimlichman, deputy director for innovation and AI, noted that Sheba is building a fully AI-driven hospital. The collaboration will operate under strict security and governance mechanisms, and patient details will remain confidential.
