The Sheba Medical Center has achieved a sixth-place ranking in Newsweek magazine's global list of the world's smartest and most advanced hospitals. This marks the sixth consecutive year Sheba has been recognized among the top innovative hospitals worldwide. The "World's Best Smart Hospitals 2027" ranking, compiled by Newsweek in collaboration with the international research firm Statista, evaluated 350 hospitals from 30 countries this year. The ranking assesses hospitals based on their adoption and leadership in advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, robotics, telemedicine, digital imaging, and computerized medical records, identifying institutions that effectively translate technological innovation into practical tools to enhance care quality, operational efficiency, and patient experience.
Sheba's high placement follows the establishment of its AI center, an investment of approximately 100 million shekels, which aims to promote and implement AI applications in healthcare, including collaborations with global AI giants like OpenAI. Additionally, Sheba's ARC innovation hub is spearheading groundbreaking international research collaborations.

The hospital has also implemented AI tools to identify patients suitable for home hospitalization and to remotely monitor their conditions. Professor Yitzhak Kreiss, Director of the Sheba Medical Center, stated, "An advanced healthcare system is a strategic infrastructure for national resilience, economic growth, and Israel's leadership on the international stage. Therefore, we have a responsibility to break scientific and technological boundaries, nurture the future generation of medical entrepreneurship, and connect research, medicine, and industry."
