Last week the Nuvo team spent two days at ARC Summit 2026 in Tel Aviv. It was not your average conference. On Sheba Day, Sheba Medical Center opened its campus to health leaders from more than twenty countries and, instead of slides, showed them care as it is already given: a field hospital built in the underground car park, nurses training in virtual reality, start-ups pitching over espresso. And, in one corner, a living room.
That living room, an armchair, a bookshelf, a window onto a garden, was the station of Sheba Beyond, the hospital’s home-hospitalization service, and it is what made the day special for our team. Nothing was explained from a stand. A demonstrator sat in the armchair wearing the INVU™ belt, a clinician appeared on the screen behind her, and visitors watched hospital care happen in a home, as it does for Sheba’s patients every day. What follows is the story that inspired this post, and the scene that was played out in that room.
This post was inspired by a story heard during the summit. A mother with a high-risk pregnancy was being monitored from home. During one of her routine remote checks, her care team saw a change and brought her into hospital quickly.
After a short stay, she was able to go home and continue monitoring there, close to her family and her everyday life, until her baby was born.
During Sheba Day, a similar situation was modeled live in the living-room set, in front of the audience: a mother at home puts on the monitoring belt, her care team reviews the tracing remotely, sees the baby’s heart rate slowing and calls her in, and the scene ends with her arrival at the hospital.
A live scenario staged by Sheba’s team on 21 October. Frames from a phone video of the session.
Behind the live scenario is a working unit. Since October 2023, women with severe pregnancy complications have been cared for at home by Sheba Beyond: a clinical check three times a day, the baby’s heart tracing and other monitoring at home, and a hospital visit twice a week. The team’s experience was published this year in Frontiers in Digital Health.
For Ron Levi, Product Manager at Nuvo, those two days were also personal. This is how she put it afterwards:
Long before I worked in this field, my sister spent several months in the hospital during a high-risk pregnancy. I remember how much that time affected her and our whole family, and how our lives revolved around the hospital.
Today, as a Product Manager at Nuvo, I see a different side of that experience. I see how technology allows women with high-risk pregnancies to receive remote monitoring and, when clinically appropriate, stay at home, close to their families and their everyday lives.
I left the summit curious, full of thoughts, and eager to bring fresh ideas back to our product work.
Thank you to Dr. Tsur and the Sheba Beyond team, to Sheba Medical Center, to ARC Innovation and all the summit organizers, and to our neighbours at the exhibit, Pulsenmore and Datos Health. See you next year.
