BOSTON, Oct. 4, 2024 — Healthy.io, a leader in converting smartphone cameras into medical devices, has been named a Finalist in the 2024 Digital Health Hub Foundation: Digital Health Awards. The company is recognized in the Best in Class – Home Health Diagnostic category, highlighting its efforts to improve healthcare access and promote health equity.
This accolade reflects Healthy.io’s commitment to making kidney testing accessible for at-risk populations. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects an estimated 35 million adults in the U.S., with about 90% unaware they have it. The company’s Mintuteful Kidney test, the first FDA-cleared smartphone kidney test, provides immediate clinical-grade results at home, enhancing testing convenience and accessibility.
The Digital Health Awards honor innovative healthcare solutions that leverage digital technology. As a Finalist, Healthy.io showcases its role in addressing the kidney health equity gap by increasing CKD testing among underserved communities.
Geoffrey Martin, CEO of Healthy.io, stated, “This recognition marks an important milestone in our mission to make kidney testing available to everyone through computer vision, AI, and smartphones. We are proud to be a Finalist in the Digital Health Awards, as it underscores our commitment to bridging the kidney health equity gap and driving healthcare innovation.”
This year, the Digital Health Awards received over 1,500 submissions, with only 150 companies selected as Finalists. Among them, just four advanced in the Best in Class track.
Mark H. Goldstein, Chairman of the Digital Health Hub Foundation, noted, “Each year, the innovation in digital health surpasses expectations. The achievements of our finalists represent the most advanced solutions pushing healthcare forward.”
Winners will be announced at the Grand Finale during the HLTH conference on October 21, 2024.
