Award

DigitalWell Award

The DigitalWell Award recognises individuals and initiatives that contribute to the future of health innovation.

There are many great initiatives in Sweden that are fuelling the development of future digital health services. We want to celebrate the people and organisations behind these initiatives. That’s why we’re organising the DigitalWell Award – to recognise good examples that contribute to the development of future health innovations.

The DigitalWell Award is administered by the Compare Foundation, through DigitalWell Arena, which organises the awards and the ceremony. Based on the nominations received, DigitalWell Arena’s process management selects three candidates in each category.

The winners will be selected by a combination of open voting and jury votes from the DigitalWell Arena National Steering Committee. The winners are selected by a 50/50 weighted sum of the two groups’ votes.

In addition to the honours, the winners will act as ambassadors on a joint trip to a conference. The trip is organised by DigitalWell Arena and provides both skills development, business intelligence, a broader network of contacts and exchange of experience.

The Jury

The DigitalWell Awards jury consists of DigitalWell Arena’s steering group and represents various stakeholder groups within Sweden’s innovation system.
