SidekickHealth is a 2018 “AXA Health Tech & You” Awards finalist

Now in its fourth year, “AXA Health Tech & You” is a program that highlights pressing current health issues and invites the tech community to share how their innovations are well placed to address them.

In partnership with innovation accelerator The Bakery, “AXA Health Tech & You” works to find innovations that can partner with AXA PPP healthcare to possibly integrate the solutions through their member health and wellbeing programs.

SidekickHealth is honored to be named a 2018 finalist in “The Coaching Challenge” award category, which aims to discover technologies that deliver an engaging experience to people attempting a lifestyle change and motivates them to keep to their goals.

The “AXA Health Tech & You” Launch Event for New Challenges and Finalists takes place Thursday, February 1, at 6 p.m. GMT, at Barclays Shoreditch Eagle Lab in London.
