The GeekWire Awards finalists for Health Innovation of the Year are dominated by ventures that aim to outwit cancer with groundbreaking new technologies. The contenders range from a newly formed startup to a leading U.S. cancer institute and companies in between. Joining the cohort is a business with technology to help healthcare providers better manage appointments and access to providers.
This awards category recognizes pioneering health, life science, biotechnology or medical breakthroughs that hold great promise for improving peoples’ lives and enhancing the healthcare system.
The finalists are Archon Biosciences, DexCare, Fred Hutch Cancer Center, Talus Bioscience and Umoja Biopharma.
Last year’s winner was CalmWave, a Seattle health-tech startup that created a system for making sense of the alarms triggered by the devices that monitor hospital ICU patients.
