The award recognizes exceptional individuals early in their digital health career who have demonstrated a commitment to making quality care accessible in all settings, especially in low- and middle-income countries, through the use of digital health.

The aim of this award is to inspire and nurture exceptional health professionals who are improving the delivery of quality health care through creative and innovative digital technologies.
