Vinnare Health Tech Award 2023

Mabel AI  

The Mabel Team!

Motivering:

Healthcare is a matter of mastering information and acting on it. Bridging frequent language gaps correctly between the patient and the healthcare professional while safeguarding integrity is key to ensuring proper and equal care.

The winner offers speech recognition and real-time translation of medical interaction in an AI in-device, minimizing the risk of misinformation and allowing connection to patients’ medical records with just one click.

Even off-line, during war and catastrophes. HealthTech Award 2023 goes to an innovation that provides critical language support when every second counts.

 

Vinnare Health Tech Award 2022

Detectivio

Stefan Malmberg, CEO Detectivio

Motivering:

Med hjälp av en kamera och artificiell intelligens möjliggör vinnaren av Healthtech Award 2022 kontaktlös och automatisk mätning av syrehalt i blodet, blodtryck, puls, temperatur och andningsfrekvens. En kliniskt testad lösning med potential att integreras i olika verksamheter, nå många människor och i grunden ändra vårt sätt att mäta vitala parametrar och tidigt kunna upptäcka problem.
Vi ser en banbrytande innovation som kan användas på akutmottagningar,
vårdcentraler, i hemmiljö eller i en bil. Endast fantasin sätter gränser.

Motivering:

Med ett banbrytande perspektiv, som kopplar ihop munnen med resten av kroppen, har vinnaren av HealthTech Award 2021 en patenterad lösning för att prediktera sjukdomar med hjälp av AI.

Att under tandläkarbesöket få risken för benskörhet analyserad utifrån en vanlig röntgenbild utmanar traditionella gränser, möjliggör prevention och avlastar sjukvården.

Allt till gagn för den enskilde individen, hälso- och sjukvården och samhället i stort.
