DMEA nova Award: Wanted - Visionary Solutions for Digital Healthcare

DMEA - Connecting Digital Health9 - 11 April 2024, Berlin, Germany.
The DMEA nova Award is being presented at DMEA 2024 for the first time. The award honours a digital health startup for an outstanding idea or solution aimed at advancing digital healthcare.

Startups have become an indispensable part of the digital health industry. Not only are they aspiring enterprises, they are also exceptionally creative, combining traditional medical care with state-of-the-art technology. Their focus is on innovative digital solutions that improve access to healthcare and increase efficiency in order to ultimately optimise patient care.

The DMEA nova Award targets digital health startups and gives them the opportunity to showcase their innovative ideas and solutions to a wider audience.
