Samsung Invests In Two Israeli Companies In One Week

Korean tech giant Samsung will invest $10 million in Israel patient monitoring firm EarlySense, part of a $20 million financing round.

“EarlySense has developed and brought to market a unique, breakthrough technology that will improve the lives of consumers through health parameter sensing and monitoring,” said Gonzalo Martinez de Azagra, head of Samsung Ventures Israel, the company’s investment arm. “Our investment is evidence of our belief in the need to bring sensors to hundreds of millions of consumers and we will do all that is in our hands to contribute to EarlySense’s accelerated growth.”

In business since 2004, EarlySense developed a system that monitors patients who are sick enough to require continuous tracking, but are unwilling or do not need to be connected physically to monitors and sensors. Designed for use in non-emergency room or even home settings, the system uses sensors embedded into a mattress or chair cushion to monitor heartbeat, respiration rate, and movement. It operates on the theory that the more a patient moves around in bed, the healthier they are, in general.

some sectors.
Just the other day another new supporter refused to buy a bottle of Israeli shampoo making it 10 bottles already this month. This puts it on track to more than double the 5 bottles last January.

The problem may be is that you may be letting facts get in the way, by relying too much on factual info from all those sources who don't despise Israel enough to provide the correct picture regardless of the facts.

Be afraid, be very afraid.
