THE PURPOSE OF THE AWARD
Showcase the pioneers

We showcase the pioneers who have effectively implemented health tech solutions into the healthcare system, to the benefit of patients and/or healthcare employees.

Reward the frontrunners

We want to reward the frontrunners who take initiative and achieve successful implementation of health tech and make these people and stories the heroes that will enable a (faster) culture change in the public sector, going from build and pilot to purchase and implement.​

Celebrate those who implement

Implementing health tech is necessary if we truly want to create a health care sector ready for the current and future demographic challenges and address the workforce shortage.

Emphasize the importance

Our goal is to emphasize the importance of successful health tech implementation, highlighting it as a positive and essential aspect of modern healthcare.​

A necessity

Health tech is not a “nice to have” any longer, it is a “need to have”. ​

The Hermit is the nickname for our yearly Health Tech Implementation Award. An impactful award that recognizes successful implementations of health tech solutions.

The Health Tech Implementation Awards, (The Hermit) is awarded to the driving forces behind the successful collaborations bridging the gap between healthcare and health tech. Great ideas can result in large impact, if they are implemented the right way. Our focus is to find the most successful collaborations enabling the best solutions to be used for better healthcare. The Hermit is a joint achievement - we celebrate the partnerships but especially the healthcare staff taking a chance and succeeding with implementing new health tech.

Why is it called "The Hermit"?

The health tech startup ecosystem needs places for innovative ideas to be embraced and protected early on within the healthcare system. Just like a hermit crab’s shell, the first place that implements a health tech solution has to be aware that they will be outgrown at one point in time. The project they took in will look for another home that is bigger. They will scale. But to start, they do need the catalysts willing to invest in them early on. So, with the Hermit we want to celebrate the partnerships between these healthcare catalysts and the startups with sky-high ambitions and inspire more implementation and impact.
