2022 Year in Review

2022 has been another year of significant milestones for us at Healthware, made possible thanks to the continued trust and support from our clients & partners and the commitment of our great team.

This year we took the opportunity of our traditional mid-year town hall, the MYTH22 & Internal Conference, to gather our global team in person for the first time after the pandemic. It was also great to be back in-person at many industry events and see many of our thought leaders as speakers or moderators.

Our ecosystem spirit has been more alive than ever as we formed new strategic partnerships, such as the European Coalition with Digital Therapeutics Alliance (DTA) to scale access to digital therapeutics in Europe, and announced the acquisition of Argon Global Healthcare network, one of the largest international networks of independent healthcare agencies.

Expanding our Group’s capabilities, we launched our medical communications and education division, Healthware MedComms.
We continued to contribute to the advancement of the digital health ecosystem by supporting the launch of VITA Accelerator together with CDP Venture Capital and Accelerace and co-hosting the Frontiers Health 2022 Global Conference, again the greatest edition to date.

Our team has also been working to develop new digital health solutions including a VR DTx for chronic pain management or innovative platforms such as the Cliniscout solution for decentralized clinical trials and the MedicalHub for advanced medcomms engagement, to name a few.

Furthermore, 2022 has been a strong year for our startup portfolio with the announcement of a Series A round by 1000Farmacie and significant milestones reached by multiple companies including YourCoach and others to be announced soon.

Please, read more in this year in review article as we very much look forward to keep doing our part in building the future of health, together, in 2023!
