Maccabi Health Services Leads Longevity Revolution in Israel with Personalized Care
Maccabi Health Services is spearheading a longevity revolution in Israel by shifting from reactive medicine to proactive, personalized healthcare aimed at extending healthy life years. CEO Sigal Dadon-Levy emphasized that Maccabi is setting a new standard in community and personalized medicine by providing members with advanced treatment alongside tools and guidance to maintain health as a lifestyle.
Recently, Maccabi launched "Maccabi Longevity," a new digital content platform on its website that consolidates knowledge, tools, and resources related to healthy aging and quality of life. The platform covers key areas such as physical activity, nutrition, mental health, cognition, and sleep, tailored to different age groups to promote long-term well-being.
One of Maccabi's pioneering initiatives is the development of a unique Healthy Life Years index, which helps assess the number of years individuals live in good health based on health data, surveys, and mortality statistics. Additionally, Maccabi teams monitor members’ health habits, including diet, exercise, smoking, and sleep, to identify risk factors and customize interventions that encourage behavioral changes.
Maccabi was the first Israeli health fund to introduce the 'Up-Up' service promoting healthy lifestyles, now used by hundreds of thousands daily with over 10,000 health activity bookings per day. Dr. Nitzan Anu, head of Maccabi’s Longevity division, highlighted that even small lifestyle changes can significantly impact long-term health. Nutrition support is also a major focus, with tailored dietary guidance and workshops helping members improve medical indicators and sustain healthy habits.
Dr. Anu described longevity as the future of medicine and outlined Maccabi’s comprehensive ecosystem approach, combining smart health measurement, advanced digital tools, and professional training. The organization plans to expand its services to further support members in living longer, healthier, and more active lives.
CEO Dadon-Levy concluded that Maccabi’s leadership in longevity reflects its strategic vision to transform healthcare from disease treatment to health promotion and prevention, leveraging innovation, technology, data, and top professionals to benefit millions of members.
