Garmin announces finalists for the 2026 Garmin Health Awards

Top innovators from around the world will present their solutions in person at the Garmin Health Summit in Bangkok


Garmin today announced the finalists for the 2026 Garmin Health Awards. Each year, a select group of forward-thinking organisations present digital health and wellness applications incorporating the Garmin product portfolio to industry peers, leaders and journalists at the Garmin Health Summit, and two are recognised for the most innovative solutions.

“With over 130 nominations, it was extraordinarily difficult to narrow our selection to only six of the applicants. I am honored and excited to recognise the 2026 finalists for their ingenuity, dedication and vision at a pivotal time in the advancement of personalized, evolving and data-driven care across many diverse industries. —Jörn Watzke, Senior Director Garmin Health Global Sales

As part of the 2026 Garmin Health Summit, the finalists will present their solutions to two panels – one comprised of experts and the other made up of Summit attendees. At the conclusion of the event, the Expert’s Choice and People’s Choice Garmin Health Award winners will be recognised and each receive Garmin smartwatches and fitness trackers valued at $10,000.
