The DigitalWell Award highlights people and initiatives that contribute to the health innovations of the future.
In Sweden, there are many fantastic initiatives in the development of future digital health and welfare services. We want to pay tribute to the people and organizations behind these initiatives. That's why the DigitalWell Award is organized, where we get the chance to draw attention to good examples that contribute to the development of the health innovations of the future.
The winners are then chosen at random events on June 1.
The DigitalWell Award is awarded in four categories based on focus areas within the DigitalWell Arena. Below you can read about the four categories and see examples of nominations in each category.

A healthier future requires an active individual who wants to influence their health, and who has the opportunity and the tools to do so.

The DigitalWell Award is administered by The Compare Foundation which holds the award and award ceremony. Based on the nominations received, DigitalWell Arena's Process Management appoints up to four shortlist participants in each category. A jury, consisting of external representatives from various actor groups in Sweden's innovation system, is selected to award points to the shortlist participants. The winners are then chosen in a vote, where total points from the jury and vote decide. The votes of the jury and the public carry equal weight.
In addition to the attention and promotion that the nominees are given through the competition, the winners will get to act as ambassadors on a joint trip to a digital health conference. The trip is organized by DigitalWell Arena and provides both skill development, monitoring of the environment, broadened network of contacts and exchange of experience. More information will be given to the winning entries.
The jury consists of the steering group for DigitalWell Arena and represents various stakeholder groups within Sweden's Innovation System.
