Regard Wins the 2026 Global HealthTech Impact Award

Salt Lake City, UT | March 23, 2026

HealthTechNode today announced that Regard has been named the winner of the 2026 Global HealthTech Impact Award, recognizing its measurable contributions to clinical decision support, documentation quality, physician efficiency, and patient care at scale.

The Global HealthTech Impact Award honors technologies delivering meaningful, system-level value across healthcare. This category recognizes solutions that improve outcomes, strengthen workflows, expand access, or create measurable operational gains in ways that can scale across care environments and populations.

Regard was selected for addressing one of the most persistent challenges in modern healthcare: helping clinicians make high-stakes decisions from increasingly fragmented and overwhelming volumes of patient data. By analyzing the full electronic health record before the physician encounter and surfacing relevant diagnoses, supporting evidence, and a draft note at the point of care, Regard helps physicians work from a more complete clinical picture while reducing administrative burden.

“Regard represents the kind of system-level impact this award was created to recognize,” said Jordan Hayes, HealthTechNode Awards Coordinator. “Its platform is not simply adding another AI layer to the clinical environment, it is helping physicians surface critical diagnostic context, reduce documentation burden, and improve care delivery at meaningful scale. That combination of measurable outcomes, workflow integration, and broad adoption made Regard a clear standout.”

Why Regard Stood Out

• Deployed across more than 150 hospitals, demonstrating meaningful real-world adoption
• More than 12 million diagnosis recommendations accepted by clinicians
• Reported 20 to 30 percent improvement in observed-to-expected mortality for sepsis and stroke at WakeMed
• Reduced physician documentation and chart review burden while improving documentation quality
• Integrates into Epic through SMART on FHIR, supporting scalable implementation within existing workflows

Health system results shared in the submission point to measurable gains across both clinical and operational performance, including stronger severity-of-illness capture, improved documentation quality, reduced chart review time, and fewer claim denials that delay treatment. Together, these outcomes position Regard as one of the most impactful health technology platforms helping reshape modern care delivery.

Regard joins a growing group of HealthTechNode honorees recognized for translating innovation into practical, real-world healthcare improvement.
