Current related practices in intensive care units rely mostly on manual work
and cumbersome procedures. ICU patients are routinely subjected to the risks
of malnutrition, tube malposition, and pneumonia. Without technological
solutions, nutrition treatment leads to inaccuracies, increased workloads on
care teams, and generic nutrition plans that are neither personalized nor
updated in real time. The smART+ Platform uses a proprietary sensor-based
feeding tube, continuous metabolic assessment, and algorithms, to provide
real-time monitoring and closed-loop feedback, resulting in better and
personalized care for critically ill patients.
ART MEDICAL's Founder and CEO, Liron Elia, says, "Our goal, at ART MEDICAL, is
to improve patient outcomes through cutting-edge technology. By integrating
real-time data, monitoring, and control mechanisms, the smART+ Platform
addresses several of the greatest clinical challenges of intensive care units.
This powerful combination provides a comprehensive and innovative nutritional
therapy practice as well as optimized care delivery. We are thrilled to
partner with Teva Israel to bring our technology to critically ill patients
and clinical teams in ICUs."
Yossi Ofek, GM-Teva Israel, SVP; Cluster Head - Middle East, Africa &
Ukraine says:
"Teva Israel continually strives to offer innovative and safe treatment
options - both in the community and in hospitals - in order to improve the
lives and health of patients.
"The innovative development of an Israeli company, ART MEDICAL, is intended to
ensure that patients in intensive care units receive the most advanced
treatment offered today that can minimize complications related to
hospitalization and reduce length of stay."
