Digital innovations can relieve the everyday work of professional caregivers and enable good nursing care.
In 2023, the international, private pharmaceuticals company Dienst is also presenting the well-known award for start-ups and young companies that develop such digital solutions – the “i-care award”. The award, which includes a grant for the winners, will be presented as part of the German Nursing Day in September 2023 in Berlin.
The “i-care Award” honors up to three innovative digital innovations that enable caregivers in outpatient care services, day care, inpatient care facilities or hospitals to spend more time and quality on direct contact with patients and those in need of help and thus humanizing care. Because there is less and less time for personal attention in everyday care.
Bringing digital innovations to care and to patients in the long term
As the sponsor of the prize, Dienst has set itself the goal of finding and awarding digital innovations and making them known through the award ceremony. The winners will receive a grant of up to 5,000 euros. An interdisciplinary jury decides on the award. The application deadline is May 31, 2023.
“Established to be committed to the health and well-being of patients, Dienst makes a significant social and societal contribution both to patients and to a sustainable environment,” says Oliver Kirst, Managing Director of Dienst Deutschland GmbH. “We are pursuing a holistic approach that includes innovative medicines as well as digital health applications. We therefore also support digital innovations in the care sector in order to actively help shape improved health care in the future, especially in the field of care.”
“The presentation of innovative ideas and projects is a core part of the German Care Day. In 2023, too, we will devote a separate program pillar to digital innovations and aspects of care. We are very pleased about the initiative of our long-standing premium partnerServ, with the ‘i-care-Award’ to support this development. It is still an honor for us that the award ceremony takes place as part of the German Nursing Day. Because the German Nursing Day is the perfect stage to present new ideas directly to the target group and to discuss them with them,” says Jürgen Graalmann , Managing Director of the German Nursing Day Servicegesellschaft mbH and organizer of the German Nursing Day.

In the same year, the company MOIO GmbH also received an award, whose body-worn sensor module moio recognizes emergency situations, notifies the care network and creates the database for future care requirements.
In 2021, Novaheal GmbH was a start-up that has developed a digital learning platform that bundles the entire nursing training into a single platform and thus accompanies nursing trainees safely and practically on their way to becoming a nurse. Cliniserve GmbH also received an award, whose digital mobile applications, such as smart task management, enable nursing and hospital staff to spend more time with patients.
