Best Virtual Care Solution
This is the third year in a row that TimelyCare has been recognized as a best-in-class virtual care platform 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.

This year's program attracted thousands of nominations from over 18 different countries throughout the world.

"Though most students with mental health issues turn to peers first, a demand for self-guided support has grown with students wanting to take charge of their well-being on their own time," said Steve Johansson, managing director, MedTech Breakthrough. "TimleyCare is delivering a breakthrough platform to deliver on this need, enhancing the mental health, wellness, and overall success of college and university students, while delivering value and innovation that helps students be well and thrive.
