Top IT Companies Awarded for Innovation and Market Potential

FierceHealthIT (Washington, DC, USA) announced the winners of its first-ever Top Health Information Technology (IT) Innovators award featuring the top 10 U.S. companies poised to make a major impact on the health IT industry.

The winners include several companies focused on consumer-related issues that have the potential to considerably affect the doctor/patient relationship. Applications include a technology that will double-check drug side-effects, interactive in-room content for hospitals that will bring new dimensions to caregiver-patient relationships, and an open source-based web application that allows patients to enter their symptoms and treatments and track outcomes.

As the first ever group of winners, these companies certainly set a high bar,” said Anne Zieger, from FierceHealthIT.
