Congratulations to the 13 StartUp Health community members named quarterfinalists in the 2026 Digital Health & AI Awards, presented by the Digital Health Hub Foundation.
The awards recognize companies putting digital tools and AI to work across healthcare, and this year's quarterfinalists span categories from Caregiving, Aging & Care Navigation and Women's & Family Health to Civic Health and Transformative Care Delivery. Four of our members were recognized as Best in Class, and nine were named Rising Stars, a mix that reflects both long-time builders who have been scaling for more than a decade and newer companies just beginning to prove what their work can unlock.
Taken together, these Health Transformers touch nearly every health moonshot we champion. CarePredict, UnaliWear, and Hucu.ai are helping older adults live independently and helping their care teams stay connected. Solius Labs is advancing prevention and healthy longevity. Lasa Health is shortening the long road to diagnosis for women living with chronic pelvic pain, Mobio Interactive is building objective tools for mental health, and General Prognostics is working toward needle-free biomarker monitoring for cardiometabolic care. Livemed Health, Dentistry.One, PreventScripts, and Flosonics are bringing specialty, dental, lifestyle, and critical care closer to where people are, while Alvee and Radicle Science are focused on the populations and evidence gaps that traditional healthcare too often leaves behind.
What connects them is a shared approach to the future of care: let AI and connected devices do the constant, quiet work of noticing, so that clinicians, caregivers, and families can act sooner and with more confidence. Recognition like this is a milestone for each company, and it is also a signal of where we are headed together, toward care that is deeply human and AI-powered, more preventive than reactive, and designed to reach everyone.
Here are the StartUp Health community members recognized as 2026 quarterfinalists.
Alvee is on a mission to use AI-driven solutions to promote health equity and improve health outcomes for all.

CarePredict is scaling senior care beyond reliance on human observation, worldwide.
CarePredict built a wrist-worn wearable designed specifically for seniors that learns daily routines and uses AI to flag subtle changes in activity, eating, and sleep before they turn into health events.
