What is the difference between the Innovation Hub and the IHF Awards? Can I apply for both?
The Innovation Hub spotlights cutting edge innovations that illustrate a decisive shift away from episodic, hospital-centred care towards digitally enabled approaches such as hospital at home, remote monitoring, and integrated virtual-physical pathways, showing how technology is not just enhancing care delivery, but redefining it across the IHF network.
The IHF Awards are presented in recognition of excellence that has been demonstrated in eight categories, with performance judged against specific criteria.
It is possible that a solution that is submitted to the Innovation Hub could also meet the entry criteria for an IHF Award.
Don’t wait until the last minute – all IHF Awards and Innovation Hub entries must be completed in the IHF online submission platform by 24 April (23:59 CEST).
