Even if the winner of this edition is: Boxmotions*, we want to emphasize this other finalist: IOMED
Who is IOMED:
Three or four decades ago, companies struggled to make sense of and make decisions on the data they generated on a daily basis. Sales figures, costs or stocks were all non-digitalized, usually unstructured data. It was impossible, or took massive amounts of work, to get insights from those data and incorporate them into decision-making. Thanks to companies like SAP or Oracle, this situation looks far away in our memories, but, nowadays, there is still a sector that experiences this situation on a daily basis: healthcare. 65-85% of health data generated by providers and patients every day remains stored in an unstructured format, usually text format, in medical records. This brings us back to the described situation: no aggregated analysis can be performed, no questions can be asked to the database. Medical data can only be read manually and individually on the medical record.
IOMED has been born to reverse that situation.
IOMED structures unstructured text data, stores that data into AI-based databases and analyzes it from a scalable and product-based perspective. Thanks to its algorithms, IOMED brings up millions of data points, opening a completely new data source for analytics and findings. Just like management 30-40 years ago, healthcare is about to experience its own data revolution. And IOMED will be the impulsor.
