Using cannabis for medical treatment is not the controversial subject it once was, as taboos surrounding the use of the plant faded away. Today, dozens of countries across every continent have legalized the medical use of cannabis. But while attitudes to medical cannabis have changed, the primary method of delivery – smoking – has remained the same. And for one Israeli startup, such an unhealthy practice to deliver medical treatment seems counterproductive, to say nothing of the growing stigma surrounding smoking. “We couldn’t see smoking as a solution,” IMCI Pharmaceuticals CEO Alon Hershkovitz tells NoCamels. “[So] we decided to look at the evolution of cannabis products.” What IMCI, which views itself as an R&D startup rather than a drug company, came up with was a way to create nanoparticles out of cannabis, which are then taken in one of three ways. #cannabis #medicaltreatment #medicaluse #medicalcannabis #nanoparticles #israelitech #cannabinoids #israelinnovation https://lnkd.in/dGK8jE-9

An Israeli startup that uses sophisticated AI software to dub movies and shows into foreign languages has launched its new Enterprise Plan, which includes API integration to meet an increasing need for scalable, high-quality localization solutions by major Hollywood studios and global dubbing houses. By using deep learning algorithms, Deepdub’s AI dubbing software can be trained to quickly learn the patterns of a particular voice sample and convey the voice actor’s specific tone and emotion, as well as adapt to different local cultural contexts and accents from country to country. “This technology caters perfectly to the growing economic and production demands of Hollywood and dubbing studios worldwide. Our 5X revenue growth this year is a testament to the market’s confidence in our solutions”, said Deepdub CEO Ofir Krakowski. #aisoftware #dubbing #foreignlanguages #APIintegration #Hollywoodstudios #EnterprisePlan #dubbingworkflows #israelinnovation #israelitech https://lnkd.in/dB9raEZw

Working alongside three major Israeli medical centers, researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a new method to detect protein aggregation (abnormal protein activity in cells), which is a key indicator of Parkinson’s. The new technology can help make a diagnosis of the neurodegenerative disease up to 20 years before the first motor symptoms appear, helping treatment or even prevention of the severe and currently incurable disorder. “Our method can be used to identify early signs and enable preventive treatment in young people at risk for developing Parkinson’s later on in their lives,” said the researchers. #Parkinson #Parkinsondisease #medicalresearch #earlydetection #detectproteinaggregation #medicalresearch #symptomsappearance #neurodegenerativedisease https://lnkd.in/dW-tPQ5e

Israeli startup H2OLL has launched its first complete system to produce high-quality and affordable water from the air. The system was installed at the Project Wadi Attir initiative in the Negev, a groundbreaking project led by Israel’s Bedouin community to create a model of sustainable farming. It enables water extraction from the air even in dry and desert areas, while completely blocking chemical and biological contaminants.

Two leading Israeli educational and social organizations are working with Bank Hapoalim on a new, innovative project to build early-years centers of educational excellence in the Western Negev – the region directly affected by the massive Hamas terror attack on October 7 and the subsequent, ongoing war in Gaza – and help the local young children and their families deal with their trauma. The three-year project provides continuous, extended support through a unique model developed to address the particular needs of the local population, with a focus on their pedagogical and emotional environments. This includes the preschools integrating programs for direct psychological support for children, educators and parents. The preschool project was developed by SASA Setton - סאסא סטון and Alumot Or אלומות אור and the bank’s Poalim Litkuma Fund and is initially operating in 25 institutions for children aged 3 to 6 years – 22 regular preschools and three for special education students. “This project goes far beyond the renovation or reconstruction of preschools severely damaged by the events of October 7 and the ongoing war,” said Sonia Gomes de Mesquita, the head of the project and donor representative. “We are essentially entering a long-term process of creating early childhood centers of excellence using an innovative educational model tailored to the unique needs of the Western Negev region,” she said. #educationtech #educationalexcellence #ptsd #traumacenters #mentalsupport #israelinnovation #israelitech #emotional environments #rehabilitaion #supportthesouth #israelatwar https://lnkd.in/daUwavfp
