About GMC Playground
GMC Playground is the tech collaboration arm of Galilee Medical Center – a public hospital serving over 650,000 people in Israel’s Western Galilee, with ~800 beds and more than 50 departments, clinics, and institutes. We’ve joined Newsweek’s list of the World’s Best Hospitals for the second year in a row.
We work with digital health and smart med device startups, companies and entrepreneurs to build and test real-world solutions – on-site and remote – in real hospital conditions, not polished labs.
Our teams – from clinicians to IT – are trained to work with industry: running sharp pilots, linking with the right partners, and cutting needless friction. We focus on delivery, not noise.
This isn’t innovation theatre. It’s a place where things get built, tested, and scaled
