We are proud to share that Chatdok-Herz has been selected as one of the Top 10 finalists for the Health-i Award 2026.
We are proud to share that Chatdok-Herz has been selected as one of the Top 10 finalists for the Health-i Award 2026.
The recognition highlights innovative approaches to the future of healthcare and brings attention to solutions addressing some of the most important challenges facing patients and healthcare professionals today.
For Chatdok, the nomination is particularly meaningful because it reflects a central ambition behind Chatdok-Herz: using AI to support a shift from episodic, reactive cardiovascular care towards more continuous, proactive and predictive support.
Why cardiovascular care needs a different approach
Cardiovascular diseases remain a major challenge for healthcare systems worldwide.
One of the difficulties in managing chronic cardiovascular conditions is that patients are not continuously observed by healthcare professionals. Between appointments, a patient's symptoms, behaviour and health status can change significantly.
Yet traditional care is often organised around periodic interactions.
This creates a gap.
Important changes can occur between clinical encounters without immediately becoming visible to the healthcare system.
Chatdok-Herz was developed around the idea that digital technology and AI can help address this gap by supporting more continuous engagement and earlier identification of relevant changes.
From reactive care to continuous support
The traditional model of chronic disease management is often necessarily reactive: a patient experiences a problem, seeks medical attention and receives an assessment or intervention.
AI creates an opportunity to complement this model.
By continuously analysing relevant information and looking for meaningful patterns, AI-based systems can potentially help identify changes earlier and support timely intervention.
For Chatdok-Herz, the focus is not on replacing physicians or making autonomous clinical decisions.
It is on supporting continuous care — helping patients stay engaged with their health and helping healthcare professionals receive relevant information when it matters.
This distinction is fundamental.
The goal is not to automate healthcare.
The goal is to make healthcare more proactive while keeping clinical responsibility and human judgement at the centre.
What makes the Health-i Award recognition meaningful
The Health-i Award brings together innovative ideas and organisations working to shape the future of healthcare.
Being selected among the Top 10 finalists provides valuable recognition for the problem Chatdok is working to address: how can technology help healthcare move from reacting to deterioration towards identifying meaningful changes earlier?
For an emerging healthcare technology company, recognition from an established innovation platform also provides an opportunity to bring greater visibility to the challenges surrounding chronic disease management and the potential role of responsible AI.
But for us, the most important measure remains the impact that technology can ultimately have in real-world care.
Awards are encouraging.
Clinical value is the goal.
AI with a clinical purpose
The development of Chatdok-Herz is based on a broader principle that guides our work at Chatdok: healthcare AI should solve meaningful healthcare problems rather than use AI for its own sake.
That means combining technology with clinical expertise, evidence, responsible design and appropriate human oversight.
In cardiovascular care, this can mean using AI to support earlier detection, continuous patient engagement and more informed clinical workflows.
It also means recognising the limitations of AI.
A healthcare AI system should not create false certainty or replace professional medical judgement. Its role should be clearly defined within the wider care pathway.
Looking ahead
Being named a Top 10 finalist is an important milestone for Chatdok and for the development of Chatdok-Herz.
It strengthens our motivation to continue working on a healthcare model in which patients are supported not only when they enter the healthcare system, but throughout the periods between clinical encounters.
The future of chronic cardiovascular care will require more than new technology.
It will require better continuity, earlier signals, stronger collaboration between patients and healthcare professionals, and AI that can be trusted in real-world clinical environments.
We are grateful to the Health-i Award organisers and partners for recognising innovative approaches to healthcare and for providing a platform for technologies working towards this future.
For Chatdok, the journey continues:
from reactive care towards proactive support, from isolated data towards continuous insight, and from AI capability towards meaningful clinical impact.
