Munich (ots) – Digital innovations can relieve the daily workload of professional nurses and enable good nursing care. The international, private pharmaceutical company Servier will also be presenting the well-known award for startups and young companies that develop such digital solutions in 2024 – the “i-care Award”. The award, which includes support for the winners, will be presented as part of the German Nursing Day in November 2024 in Berlin.
The “i-care Award” honors up to three innovative digital innovations that enable nurses in outpatient care services, day care, hospitals or inpatient care facilities to spend more time and quality on direct contact with patients and those in need of help to make care more humane. Because there is less and less time for personal attention in everyday care.
Bringing digital innovations sustainably into care and to patients
Servier, as the founder of the prize, has set itself the goal of finding digital innovations, honoring them and making them known through the award ceremony. The first place winners receive funding of up to 5,000 euros. An interdisciplinary jury decides on the award. The application deadline is May 31, 2024.
“Founded to commit itself to the health and well-being of patients, Servier makes a significant social and societal contribution both to patients and to a sustainable environment,” says Oliver Kirst, Managing Director of Servier Deutschland GmbH. “We pursue a holistic approach that includes innovative medicines as well as digital innovations. We therefore also support digital innovations in the care sector in order to actively shape improved health care in the future – especially in the area of care.”
“The presentation of innovative projects is a core part of the German Care Day. In 2024, we will also dedicate our own program pillar to digital innovations and aspects in care. We are very pleased about the initiative of our long-standing premium partner Servier to recognize this development with the ‘i-care Award’ and to award the prize as part of the German Nursing Day,” said Jürgen Graalmann, Managing Director of the Deutscher Pflegetag Servicegesellschaft mbH and organizer of the German Nursing Day.
