Ichilov Medical Center Launches Israel’s First Hospital Self-Service Kiosks with Sasa Software’s Advanced Cybersecurity Built In
TEL AVIV, Israel – Ichilov Tel Aviv Medical Center has successfully launched Israel’s first hospital-based digital self-service kiosks in partnership with telecommunications leader Bezeq, marking a significant advancement in healthcare digitization. The innovative system, which serves approximately 1.7 million patients annually, incorporates advanced cybersecurity technology to ensure secure processing of sensitive medical information.
Revolutionary Patient Self-Service Technology
The newly deployed interactive stations enable patients to independently perform various administrative tasks including scanning test results, printing medical summaries, and obtaining parking permits for disabled patients. This technological advancement is expected to significantly reduce waiting times while improving overall patient experience and streamlining medical team operations.
“These stations represent the most advanced standard among hospitals in Israel,” said officials during today’s inauguration ceremony at the medical center. The deployment addresses the growing need for efficient healthcare services in one of Israel’s busiest medical facilities.
Cybersecurity Foundation Enables Healthcare Innovation
A critical component of the successful deployment is the integration of GateScanner Imaging Gateway technology, which provides robust cybersecurity protection for the kiosks’ document processing capabilities. This security layer ensures that all patient interactions with sensitive medical information meet stringent healthcare data protection requirements.
The cybersecurity integration demonstrates how advanced protection technologies enable healthcare institutions to embrace digital transformation without compromising patient data security – a crucial consideration given the sensitive nature of medical information processed through these self-service stations.
Industry Leadership in Healthcare Digitization
The inauguration ceremony was attended by key industry leaders including Tomer Raved, Chairman of Bezeq, Nir David, CEO of Bezeq, Prof. Eli Sprecher, CEO of Ichilov, and Yariv Nir, VP of Technologies and Information Systems at the hospital. The collaboration represents a significant step in Israel’s healthcare digitization efforts and Bezeq’s social responsibility initiatives to reduce the digital divide.
Prof. Anat Levenstein, VP of Ambulatory Services at Ichilov, emphasized the project’s potential to transform patient care delivery while maintaining the highest security standards for medical data processing.
Setting New Standards for Hospital Technology
The successful implementation at Ichilov Medical Center establishes a new benchmark for hospital self-service technology in Israel and demonstrates the feasibility of large-scale healthcare digitization projects. The integration of advanced cybersecurity measures ensures that the convenience of self-service capabilities does not come at the expense of patient data protection.
This deployment is part of broader healthcare digitization trends across Israel, where medical institutions are increasingly adopting technology solutions to improve patient experience while maintaining operational efficiency and security compliance.
About the Technology Partners
The project represents a collaboration between Bezeq, Israel’s leading telecommunications company, and advanced cybersecurity technology providers. The integration of GateScanner Imaging Gateway technology specifically addresses the unique security challenges associated with processing medical documents in self-service environments.
The successful launch positions Israel at the forefront of secure healthcare digitization and provides a model for similar implementations across medical institutions worldwide.
