United Hatzalah Launches New Operations Center in Bnei Brak with AI System for Early Prediction of Emergency Cases
Last week, United Hatzalah launched a new operations center in Bnei Brak, which will serve as the nerve center for emergency activities throughout the country. The new center is equipped with an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) system that enables early prediction of emergency cases and dynamic adjustment of emergency force deployment – a breakthrough step in improving medical response in Israel.
The innovative system is capable of analyzing data in real-time, identifying patterns, and predicting where medical emergencies are likely to occur. United Hatzalah ambulances and volunteers will be able to move closer to strategic points even before an emergency call is received, thereby significantly reducing response times and saving even more lives.
Eli Beer, President and Founder of United Hatzalah said “the establishment of the new center represents a significant leap in handling medical emergencies. We are combining the best technologies with the dedication of thousands of volunteers, aiming to reach every patient at maximum speed. The AI system will allow us to prevent unnecessary delays and provide initial treatment during critical times.”
David Salach, Director of the Centers Division, added: “The center in Bnei Brak joins the national center located at the organization’s headquarters in Jerusalem, but its uniqueness is the ability to adjust force deployment in advance, even before a call for help is received. The system is based on advanced algorithms that learn from previous emergency call patterns, weather data, traffic congestion, and additional parameters – thereby creating accurate forecasts of high-risk areas in real-time.”
The launch of the new center is part of a global trend of integrating smart technologies in emergency medicine, and United Hatzalah is leading this field in Israel with a vision to improve the emergency medical system throughout the country.
