Meet AMIT: Sheba’s AI-Powered Solution to Transform Pediatric Oncology Care

AMIT’s AI Technology Enhances Pediatric Cancer Care

Cancer care is becoming increasingly complex, with hospitals worldwide treating more patients with highly demanding medical needs. At the same time, the healthcare system is under pressure from workforce shortages and the growing demand for patient-centered care. These challenges often lead to burnout among staff, inefficiency, and a heightened risk of medical errors.

At Safra Children’s Hospital, Sheba Medical Center, one of the busiest pediatric oncology units in Israel is tackling this challenge head-on with a groundbreaking digital health innovation. Michal Singer, Head Nurse of the Pediatric Oncology Daycare Unit, shares how AMIT, a novel AI-powered solution, developed in partnership with ARC, is designed to revolutionize clinical workflows and enhance patient safety.

“Our unit cares for up to 150 patients every day,” Singer explained. “With such volume and complexity, it is nearly impossible for staff to continuously monitor every patient in real time. AMIT changes that.”

Using advanced algorithms, AMIT filters and prioritizes critical data, immediately alerting medical teams to dangerous combinations of clinical indicators, such as neutropenia and fever that require rapid, potentially life-saving responses.

Measurable Results and Adaptive Learning

The impact has been significant. Since implementing AMIT, the unit has reported:

• 70% reduction in fulminant sepsis cases
• Estimated prevention of 240 medical errors annually
• 58% decrease in patient journey time

Beyond immediate alerts, AMIT leverages machine learning to continuously learn from patient data, adapting to each clinical context. This allows the system to anticipate complications and empower nurses to take proactive measures, reducing the risk of errors and easing staff workload.

Bridging Knowledge and Compassionate Care

Developed in close collaboration with Sheba’s ARC Innovation Center, AMIT ensures that best practices are accessible to clinicians everywhere. By bridging the gap between knowledge and care, the system supports standardization while allowing healthcare teams to devote more time and attention to compassionate patient care.

“With AMIT, we can focus our energy and hearts on what we do best — caring for every child with the highest level of safety and compassion,” Singer said.

A Future Where Technology and Heart Unite Together

AMIT at Safra Children’s Hospital is ultimately about the children whose lives it helps, who are facing the toughest battles in pediatric oncology each day. This AI-powered system empowers caregivers to monitor and respond with unprecedented precision, transforming uncertainty into timely action and hope. At Sheba, innovation and empathy come together to deliver more than just advanced clinical outcomes; they deliver brighter futures and renewed possibilities for every child who walks through the hospital doors. This approach is a beacon of what compassionate, technology-enabled care can achieve, inspiring hope far beyond hospital walls.
