The awards honor organizations and individuals who have made significant contributions to healthcare across a range of categories, including technology, treatment innovations, telemedicine, and public health initiatives.
“Kontakt.io maintains its innovative edge in healthcare by investing 30% of revenue in new product development,” said Philipp Von Gilsa, CEO at Kontakt.io. “The Merit Awards are a testament to our relentless effort to help health systems better orchestrate care and save costs by enabling Responsive Care Operations.”

Kontakt.io received the Merit Awards for disrupting the healthcare industry with AI-powered RTLS that turns data into action and uncovers operational opportunities to cut waste, streamline capacity, and improve experiences. From admissions to discharge, the platform tracks, predicts, and orchestrates resources—staff, equipment, and clinical spaces—along patient clinical pathways, improving clinician safety, patient experiences, asset utilization, and ultimately ROI.
Winning recognition in the Merit Awards is just the latest distinction earned by Kontakt.io. Previously, the company was recognized as a Challenger by 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Indoor Location Services, named among the Top 25 healthcare technology companies of 2024 by Healthcare Technology Report, and won the 2024 Frost & Sullivan Company of the Year Award in the Global Internet of Medical Things.
