Game-changing health innovations to be celebrated at global awards

The Health Tech World Awards will recognise the health innovators and innovations helping to transform outcomes across the globe.

We will be celebrating some of the best examples of leadership, innovation and impact spanning life sciences, medtech, digital health and beyond.

Now in its forth year, the awards will recognise the best examples of leadership, innovation and impact helping to transform lives and outcomes around the world.

The Most Improved Patient Outcomes Award celebrates the health technology solution that has made the most significant measurable impact on improving patient outcomes.

It recognises innovations that have demonstrably enhanced patient health, safety, experience, or quality of life through effective use of technology.

The award is sponsored by The HealthTech Research Centre in Accelerated Surgical Care which aims to drive HealthTech innovation patients and healthcare systems to deliver socio-economic benefit through quicker diagnosis and treatment of surgical conditions with safe, early recovery in the community.

NIHR HealthTech Research Centres (HRCs) work with medical device, diagnostic and digital health technology companies to develop, evaluate and validate new medical technology and diagnostics.

HRCs are centres of excellence located in leading NHS organisations across England that accelerate the development of healthcare technologies to improve the effectiveness and quality of health and care services.

HRCs can help medical device, digital technology and diagnostic companies to develop new innovative medical technologies.

This includes help to generate the evidence to demonstrate financial value (health economics) or improve operational efficiency in the NHS (real-world evidence generation).

The Health Tech World Awards are free to enter, with winners and shortlisted entries receiving extensive coverage across all Health Tech World platforms.

Winners will also receive a physical award and have the opportunity to be interviewed for the publication.
