The Kahn-Sagol-Maccabi (KSM) for Research and Innovation (in Hebrew: מכון קאהן-סגול-מכבי למחקר ולחדשנות) is the Research and Innovation Center of Maccabi Healthcare Services.[1]

History

[edit]

Founded in 2016 by Maccabi Health Services with the key support of Morris Kahn and Sami Sagaol, KSM promotes excellence in medical research.[2]

It wasa formerly headed by Prof. Varda Shalev and is currently headed by Dr. Tal Patalon.[3]

Activities and services

[edit]

Medical studies

[edit]

KSM Center strives to enhance healthcare systems through independent research and partnerships with international researchers,[4] academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies, start-ups and technology firms.[5][6]

Since its inception, the center has conducted hundreds of studies,[7] resulting in the development of tools for both patients and healthcare providers.[8] These studies have influenced medical policies in several countries, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.[9]

Notable studies conducted under KSM's auspices include:

  • Studies on the coronavirus epidemic – During the COVID-19 pandemic, several international scientific studies based on the Maccabi databases were conducted by the center, Including studies on repeated infection in children,[10] repeated infection in adults,[11] natural vaccination,[12][9] reduction of transmission[13] the decline in the effect of the third vaccine[14] the effect of the vaccine on intra-domestic infection[15] and on patients with Coeliac disease.[16]
  • Research on mpox – In 2023, a study on mpox based on KSM's analysis and database was published.[17]
  • Research on Parvovirus B19 – In 2023, a study on a local outbreak of parvovirus was published.[18]
  • Research on autism – In 2023, a study on late diagnosis of autism was published.[19]
  • Research on cancer – In 2023, a study of the effects of palbociclib treatment on the lifespan of patients with breast cancer was published.[20]

Medical database

[edit]

KSM's research activities are based on independent efforts, as well as the extensive medical knowledge and database of Maccabi Health Services.[21] This database, compiled over three decades and anonymized, encompasses digital records of 2.7 million insured individuals.[22]

In addition to its in-house research,[23] the Center offers global researchers access to conduct studies, analyses [30] and medical prediction,[24] based on this comprehensive database.[25]

KSM's innovation and big data department leverages databases and artificial intelligence technologies,[26][27] facilitating a wide range of research opportunities, analysis and medical prediction.[28]

Biobank

[edit]

The KSM Center has established the Tipa BioBank,[29] Israel's largest biobank[30] housing over a million genetic samples for research purposes.[31][8]

The purpose of this initiative is to develop tools for early disease detection through genetic[32] and biological studies.[33] A central feature of this effort is the creation of a repository of biological samples (e.g., blood, urine, etc.), enabling researchers to investigate how genetic profiles influence disease risk and treatment.[34]
