Laudio Wins “Health Administration Innovation Award” in 10th Annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards Program

Landmark 10th Annual Awards Program Recognizes the Most Innovative Digital Health and Medical Technology Solutions Worldwide

BOSTON, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Laudio, an Ascend Learning brand and a leader in frontline healthcare workforce solutions, today announced that it has received the “Health Administration Innovation Award” in the 10^th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by MedTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the most innovative companies, technologies, and products in the global digital health and medical technology market.

Laudio’s AI-powered leader operations platform was purpose-built for healthcare’s frontline leaders, helping streamline their core daily work, automate administrative tasks, and operationalize system-wide goals in a practical, sustainable way for leaders. Integrating data from HR platforms, EHRs, and other core systems, Laudio provides frontline leaders with an efficient, centralized workflow hub – encompassing employee and patient rounding, team professional development, quality and safety, and more – that reduces complexity and frees up capacity.

Replacing siloed systems and data overload, the platform surfaces organized, actionable insights to today’s busy leaders and provides AI-driven recommendations for high-impact leader actions that help them sift through the noise and prioritize their time effectively. In addition to streamlining leaders’ work, Laudio is also helping health systems drive consistency in leader best practices across the frontline, from performing new hire check-ins to completing patient rounds – behaviors that drive a wide range of key organizational outcomes across employee engagement, patient experience, quality and safety, and more.

“Today’s frontline leaders are managing growing teams and tasks while continuing to contend with fragmented workflows that slow them down and distract from higher-value uses of their time. At Laudio, we’re changing that, with AI-powered technology that simplifies, prioritizes, and scales leaders’ work – freeing up capacity for the human connection at the heart of healthcare,” said CJ Floros, COO of Laudio. “We are dedicated to innovating for these critical, yet often under-resourced roles and honored to receive this recognition from MedTech Breakthrough.”

Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, the MedTech Breakthrough Awards program has spent a decade recognizing the companies driving meaningful progress and improving patient care across the global health and medical technology industry. The program spans a wide range of categories – including Telehealth, Clinical Administration, Patient Engagement, Electronic Health Records (EHR), Virtual Care, Medical Devices and beyond – honoring the innovations reshaping how care is delivered worldwide.

This year's program drew a record-breaking number of nominations from leading companies and startups across more than 20 countries, reflecting the growing global impact and momentum of the digital healthcare industry.

“Laudio is redefining how healthcare organizations invest in human infrastructure,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, MedTech Breakthrough. “Laudio's platform fosters higher retention, enhances patient experience, and operationalizes leadership practices that align workforce well-being with effective performance across the health system. Laudio helps make meaningful engagement both consistent and scalable.”
