Predicta Med was founded in 2020 by Shlomit Steinberg-Koch, CEO, and Benny Getz, CTO.

Shlomit and Benny have recognized the huge challenge in the diagnostic process of autoimmune diseases, a process that today, on average, can take at least four different doctors and more than four years to make a definite diagnosis. These patients are enduring a frustrating journey through the medical system, in addition to incurring huge costs to the healthcare system. Predicta Med is dedicated to connecting the dots of undiagnosed diseases, to empower primary care physicians, and most importantly, to improve the lives of patients.

CEO: Shlomit Steinberg-Koch
