Designed to honor excellence and recognize the innovation, hard work and success across health and medical technology, the MedTech Breakthrough awards specifically recognized Amwell for its unrivaled breadth of telehealth offerings and extensive ecosystem. With more than 3,750 nominations in this year’s program, Amwell stood out against the competition as an easy-to-use technology platform that connects all ecosystem partners and supports a wide range of clinical use cases, enabling a myriad of benefits for its clients and the patients and providers that it serves.

“Telehealth has skyrocketed into mainstream adoption in light of the COVID-19 global health pandemic, and people are seeing firsthand how telehealth is a not just a viable solution, but a truly compelling tool within the healthcare industry with significant benefits to both patients and doctors,” said James Johnson, managing director, MedTech Breakthrough. “While the shift to virtual care has been on the horizon for some time, Amwell is a true industry leader with an unrivaled breadth of telemedicine offerings and ecosystem, representing the largest and most downloaded telehealth platform in the US for iOS and Android combined. We are thrilled to recognize Amwell with our ‘Best Overall Telehealth Solution’ award and we congratulate the Company for breaking through the crowded digital health industry.”

Founded by two brothers, who are both doctors, more than 13 years ago, Amwell is transforming telehealth from virtual urgent care to longitudinal care – combining virtual and brick mortar settings to provide services across the care spectrum. Acute and chronic care, interactive TV solutions, behavioral health, and remote patient monitoring are just some of the many areas where Amwell is expanding its footprint by leveraging its network of payers, providers, consumers, and innovators. With a deep understanding of clinical workflows, Amwell’s technology platform connects and enables all key healthcare stakeholders and supports a wide array of use cases that generate substantial positive clinical and financial outcomes and is changing the way medicine is practiced.
