About the Innovations
Eyeball Cam: IDF
Mr. Charles Perkins
Asst. Director, Policy & Govt. Affairs, AIPAC
Israeli law enforcement faces many more rescue, ambush and dangerous situations than most countries. As a result, they sought to develop a way to look inside a potentially hostile room or dangerous area before risking the life of a solider or law enforcement officer. They developed the Eyeball Cam – a ball with embedded cameras and sensors that can be thrown into a room or area, settle itself upright, and then wirelessly send 360 degree images of what is happening inside the room. The technology is now being used to save American lives at home and abroad.
EndoPAT: Diagnosing Early Heart Disease
Dr. Sivan Ebril
Medical Director, Itamar Medical Inc.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. About every 25 seconds, an American will have a coronary event. Luckily, an Israeli company has found a quick and easy way to diagnose early heart disease using a devise known as the EndoPAT. By measuring blood flow through a patient’s fingers, the EndoPAT assesses the functioning of the endothelial cells, which line the inner walls of blood vessels. Damage to these cells may be an early sign of heart disease. Learn more about the EndoPAT from a representative from Itamar Medical, the company developing the device and see a demonstration of how this Israeli innovation works.
Mobileye: Automobile Collision Prevention
Mr. Isaac Litman
CEO, Mobileye
Mobileye uses sophisticated computer vision/machine vision algorithms are able to ”interpret” a scene, being captured real-time, by a video camera in order to perform a specifically defined task. Automakers are now adopting this technology into their rapidly expanding applications of safety features known as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Since its inception in 1999 Mobileye has led the way in machine vision for mono-cameras supplying global vehicle makers with the core System on Chip designed to fulfil their needs for vision based ADAS. Mobileye’s key breakthrough was comprehending that the desired functions could run on the input from a mono-camera, whereas all other automotive suppliers were focused on stereo vision or alternative technologies such as radar.
Emergency Bandage: Saving Lives
First Care Products
After service in the Israeli reserves, CEO Bernard Bar Natan was disturbed to learn that bandage technology had remained unchanged since 1942. This realization propelled him to create the Emergency Bandage, an integral component of emergency hemorrhage control in pre-hospital situations. In addition to its use by many of the world’s most highly regarded military organizations, the bandages are utilized by civilian emergency and fire rescue services, police forces, first-aid and survival training academies and civilians around the world. Learn more about the Emergency Bandage and how it is saving lives at home and on the battlefield.
Babysense: Preventing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
BabySense LLC
Babysense is the original and first non-touch monitor of its kind, intended for detection of cessation of movements in infants. Babysense is a highly sensitive non-touch device that monitors a baby's micro-movements through the mattress during sleep and gives an alert to caretakers if the infant's micro-movements stop or become irregularly slow. The use of the Babysense infant movement monitor during the infants' rest periods provides them a sense of comfort and allows them to sleep and rest better knowing that their baby's movements are constantly being monitored. Babysense’s highly effective micro-movement monitoring system has helped protect over 600,000 babies around the world and has helped save the lives of many babies.
