The Health Tech World Awards introduced the judges, sponsors and the Health Tech World team to some truly game-changing innovations.
Those that made the shortlist all successfully demonstrated how they were transforming patient outcomes in the UK, US and beyond.
So it came as no surprise that the Most Improved Patient Outcomes award sparked plenty of debate among the panel.
As category sponsor, it was down to ORCHA , Paul Weston, to have the final say.

ORCHA operates in twelve countries across the world and are proud to work with inspiring organisations, including NHS England, NICE, CQC, MHRA, the Dutch Foundation for Mental Health, the American College of Physicians, the American Telemedicine Association, Boehringer Ingelheim and Bayer.
