Building on the demand for remote technology applications during the Covid-19 pandemic, digital health is enabling a realignment of health provision around integrative disease management combined with personalized wellness solutions – goals that will hopefully secure better outcomes for patients.

With rising levels of real-time and actionable data, backers of digital health also promise lower costs per episode of care as well as helping regulation and clinical management protocols become more targeted and efficient.

Of course, none of these transformative gains would be possible without this community of digital innovators, whose impact is registered by the 21 software apps and platforms, devices and diagnostics the Prix Galien USA Awards Committee has nominated for 2024’s “best in class” – double the number from last year.

Beyond financial and intellectual resources, how are these groups working to advance ideas into the marketplace, and what is their actual clinical impact?
