VitalHub Subsidiary Wins Technology Company of the Year Award
TORONTO, May 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSXV: VHI) is pleased to announce that Synopsis has been named winner at the British Data Awards, in the Technology Company of the Year (<50 employees) category.
Synopsis, the marquis product platform and previously acquired asset of VitalHub subsidiary Intouch with Health (“Intouch”) has won another award, being honoured at the British Data Awards, in the Technology Company of the Year (<50 employees) category.
The British Data Awards is an annual campaign that sets out to uncover data success stories. Organisations taking part this year include FTSE 100 giants, tech unicorns, innovative start-ups, public sector bodies, not-for-profit organizations and everything in between.
VitalHub’s entry into the awards centred around how Synopsis uses data to improve the pre-operative assessment pathway. Synopsis was developed and launched as the first digital pre-op assessment pathway with full integration into the hospital patient administration system (“PAS”) / electronic patient record (“EPR”) – resulting in efficiencies previously unrealized within pre-operative assessment departments.
In another major step forward, Synopsis Home was launched last year, enabling patients to complete their pre-operative assessment from home, then share their data with the hospital’s triage team. This functionality has been very important in supporting new infection prevention measures introduced in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
The accolade has been awarded following an extensive grading process conducted by a judging panel of technology, data, and medical technology leaders. The 2021 judges include: Neil Carden, COO of Forth Point, Jason Johnson, Co-Founder of Predatech, Mahana Mansfield, Data Science Director at Deliveroo, Tej Parikh, Chief Economist at the Institute of Directors, Harriet Rees, Head of Data Science at Starling Bank and Dr Jo Watts, CEO and Founder of Effini.
“I’d like to extend my congratulations to all our 2021 Winners, said Jason Johnson, Co-Founder of Predatech and British Data Awards judge. “With 149 entries received this year, being named a Winner is a great achievement, and all organisations should feel immensely proud. I’m really excited to see what the next 12 months holds for our Winners.”
“We are very appreciative of the ongoing recognition of the value of our solutions, as we continue to innovate and drive value for health systems on a global basis,” said Dan Matlow, CEO of VitalHub Corp. “This award is a demonstration of the applicability of the Synopsis product to in current healthcare landscape, wherein it has become more vital than ever to optimize the operational efficacy and efficiency of health systems. We look forward to continuing to grow our influence in delivering value-added services to our customers.”
