Laudio Named "Best MedTech Startup" in 9th Annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards Program

Prestigious International Annual Awards Program Recognizes Standout Digital Health & Medical Technology Products and Companies

BOSTON, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Laudio, an innovator in frontline leader solutions that drive efficiency and engagement for health systems, today announced that it has received the "Best MedTech Startup" award in the 9^th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by MedTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global digital health and medical technology market.

Laudio's leader operations platform centralizes and streamlines frontline leaders' core workflows, helping reduce administrative burdens and shift more focus to human connection. Aggregating data from source of truth systems like HCM and EHR platforms, Laudio provides a first-of-its-kind daily workflow hub for leaders – spanning employee engagement and recognition, performance and professional development, patient rounding, audits, and more. By freeing up much-needed capacity for these critical leaders and enabling them to manage their teams more efficiently and effectively, Laudio helps health systems improve operational efficiency, employee engagement, and patient experience.

Today's frontline leaders are spread increasingly thin, with many managing 50-plus people, making it difficult to sustain the regular, individualized team member interactions proven to boost engagement and retention. However, with actionable data and timely, AI-powered leader recommendations for high-impact opportunities to celebrate, recognize, and check in with team members, the Laudio platform makes personalized engagement more feasible and scalable. In addition, burnout risk indicators help leaders identify team members at elevated risk and take proactive action to help prevent turnover.

"Great leadership is the cornerstone of great healthcare. The data consistently shows that empowering leaders with purpose-built technology for their roles and needs not only benefits the leaders themselves, but also their teams, patients, and the broader organization," said Russ Richmond, MD, CEO of Laudio. "We're proud of this recognition from MedTech Breakthrough as we continue to close a true gap in the industry and help health systems drive sustained change to stabilize and strengthen their workforces."

The MedTech Breakthrough Awards program celebrates excellence and innovation in the health and medical technology industry, recognizing the companies, products, and solutions driving meaningful progress and improving patient care. Spanning a wide range of categories—including Telehealth, Clinical Administration, Patient Engagement, Electronic Health Records (EHR), Virtual Care, Medical Devices, Medical Data & Privacy, and beyond—the awards highlight the groundbreaking work that is transforming the healthcare landscape.

This year's program saw a record-breaking number of nominations from leading companies and startups across more than 18 countries, showcasing the global impact and momentum of the digital healthcare industry today.

"Laudio's intelligent platform solves one of healthcare's biggest workforce challenges: stability of the frontline workforce," said Steve Johansson, managing director, MedTech Breakthrough. "By centralizing and streamlining core frontline leader workflows, automating standard tasks, and surfacing timely team insights, Laudio helps managers focus on more of what matters – people. We're proud to award Laudio with 'Best MedTech Startup!'"
