Five health apps were ultimately selected as the finalists and assessed against the Nordic Digital Health and Evaluation Criteria (NordDEC), which is a set of standards for evaluation and accreditation of digital health products. After a thorough examination, Paindrainer® was selected as the best app and announced as the final winner. The award is being celebrated at the “Arendalsuka” in Norway, corresponding to the politically assembly “Almedalsveckan” in Sweden or the ”Folkemødet” in Denmark.

Highlighting its patient-centric AI technology, the jury praised its potential to transform healthcare from a calendar-based to a need-based system.
