Clalit Health Services, Israel’s biggest healthcare organization with more than 4.8 million members, has been tapped as a key partner in PANDAI, an international research project building an AI platform designed to detect and manage future pandemics across Europe.
The project is funded through Horizon Europe with a budget of €8 million and a 36-month timeline.
What PANDAI actually does
Instead of each country independently watching for outbreak signals, PANDAI aims to pool data from healthcare systems in the UK, Denmark, Spain, Luxembourg, Israel, and Bangladesh into one platform. That platform then uses AI to spot patterns that human epidemiologists might catch too late, or miss entirely.
Clalit operates 14 hospitals and roughly 1,600 clinics, generating a volume of real-world clinical data that most research projects can only dream about. Clalit has maintained longitudinal electronic health records dating back to the 1990s, covering millions of people.
