The Medtech4Health Innovation Award highlights the successful development and implementation of innovative medical technology in healthcare. Njord was one of three finalists and later announced as the winner of the Patient Prize and 10,000 SEK.

“We’re flattered to be recognized nationally and win this award having worked with patient experience and integrity as one of three key pillars in the development of Atle 180.,” says Barbro Cagner, Founder and Application Specialist at Njord Medtech
“With Atle, hospitals can do more care with the same resource base. The combination of staff shortage and faster radiology equipment is the underlying driver for more automation within healthcare such as Atle 180. With a broad introduction by 2030, hospitals can meet the increasing demand for more radiology examinations with increased capacity utilization. Our solution can provide up to 20 million more examinations per year in Europe.,” says Jacob Ahrnstein, Founder and CEO of Njord Medtech.
A big thanks to our customers, users, and partners for their dedication and work in bringing forward and extending the usage of the novel medical solution Atle 180 helping thousands of patients achieve an improved care journey. Together we continue to develop and reimagine the patient planning, handling, and positioning within acute care. All to create a sustainable and resilient healthcare system.
