Alumni Stories
For Nataliya Minskii, the Hebrew University’s MBA Med-Tech Innovation Program is more than an academic program. This is where Frienddy, an AI-powered wearable coaching platform designed to help children with autism live more independently, got its start.
The Med-Tech program brought together people from diverse backgrounds and fields of expertise, including neuroscience, computer science, business, and healthcare. It was there that Nataliya met her co-founders and began building a team around a shared mission. The program also connected her with researchers, clinicians, entrepreneurs, mentors, investors, and innovation organizations, helping turn their idea into a working product.
“When I think back on my time at HUJI, what stands out most is the people,” Nataliya says. Studying alongside classmates from different professional, cultural, and national backgrounds broadened her perspective and shaped her experience in the program.
