The eHealth Adoption Awards give visibility and recognition to European adopters of cutting-edge innovation in eHealth. The winner team will receive a trophy in a plenary session at the eHealth Week. During one year this team will be promoted to participate in events related to the organisers like the World of Health IT (WoHIT).
All finalists will receive a diploma and a logo that confirms them as the winner or finalist of the Adoption Awards. All participants (those that submit an online application) get media exposure about their adoption through the organisers' channels. In addition, the 3 adopting organisations presenting at the eHealth Week receive a travel grant up to 400€ and a free pass to the eHealth Week conference.
The eHealth Hub project will also provide personalised support to the IT finalists for commercialisation and access to private funding at European level for at least one year. It is expected that, through dissemination and promotion, other health organisations become interested in their solution and join their sales pipeline.
