As phones increase in capability, the length of their battery life decreases. Netanya-based company Lucidlogix Technologies is looking to fix this problem with its Power Xtend software solution. Power Xtend, which is already installed in millions of phones, has specialized solutions for chatting, gaming, multimedia browsing and navigating that extend battery life by 20 percent without limiting the phone’s functionality.

BATTERY LIFE BANDAGES

Your medical records contain hidden insights about potential health risks, that if found could save your life. Big-data analytics startup Medial EarlySign invented software that analyzes hundreds of parameters, trends and interrelationships in existing electronic medical record data such as blood test results. It automatically alerts a designated healthcare provider to high-risk findings, allowing them to plan more individualized care for their patients.

First responders across the globe, including those in the United States Army, are turning to an Israeli invention for life-saving help. With its small size and portability, the Pocket BVM, a manual mini-ventilator, saves valuable seconds, which can be the difference between life and death.

MEDICAL HISTORY FIRST RESPONDERS

A new bandage invented by Israeli company Core Scientific Solutions has the potential to save lives. The bandage, called WoundClot, stops uncontrollable bleeding by transforming into a gel state when it comes into contact with liquids. The bandage lasts up to 24 hours.

As automakers struggle with cybersecurity in their vehicles, they are turning to Israel for answers. Check Point, the company behind the computer firewall, has teamed up with Argus Cyber Security to create a similar system for cars. The Tel Aviv-based companies created a solution that aims to keep highways safe from hackers. Israeli startup Towersec, which was acquired in 2015 by Harman International Industries, is also working on solving this problem.

Jerusalem startup Mobileye creates safer automated driving solutions for automakers, including technology for collision avoidance. Mobileye’s Road Experience Management is a crowdsourced mapping technology that is intended to support self-driving cars, and will soon be integrated into numerous makes and models. In 2016, Mobileye announced partnerships with General Motors and Volkswagen. In 2017, the company was acquired by Intel for $15 billion.
