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

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.​

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.

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

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