This year’s diverse group of finalists is revolutionizing digital health with breakthroughs in remote monitoring, virtual care, therapeutic applications, and health data analytics. Each organization has the potential to transform healthcare in significant and lasting ways. 

The finalists include: 

AI-Driven Heart Monitoring Solution. FibriCheck is a device-agnostic AI platform, that converts everyday consumer devices into regulated medical tools to combat cardiac diseases.
