The Newsweek AI Impact Health Awards celebrate artificial intelligence solutions that deliver measurable results – improving outcomes, sharpening clinical decisions, and increasing efficiency – at a time when health care systems face rising costs, workforce strain, and unprecedented demand.

As health care systems confront rising costs, workforce shortages, and growing demand from aging populations, AI has moved from the margins to the mainstream. What was once experimental is now essential. Across hospitals, clinics, and care networks, AI is reshaping how care is delivered—bringing greater precision, speed, and insight to some of medicine’s most complex challenges.

Newsweek reaches over 45M engaged readers with trusted journalism across AI, policy, and healthcare. In partnership with Adprime, the largest online advertising platform specializing in healthcare ranked by comScore, we extend this impact to 73M - combining editorial credibility with advanced targeting to deliver scale, relevance and results.

With a strong editorial focus on health and technology, our active CEO Circle network of senior healthcare executives and our global rankings of the World’s Best Hospitals now in its tenth year, Newsweek is one of the best-regarded publications for senior health leaders in the world.

The AI Impact Health Awards recognize artificial intelligence innovations that are delivering measurable change across health care systems – improving patient outcomes, strengthening clinical decision‑making, and driving operational efficiency at scale.

Entries must be for original work completed between 1 January 2025 – 1 January 2026, and should clearly show the impact of that work on the applicant’s organization, product, or individual performance through concrete measurements and outcomes. An entry can be entered in several categories. If work is entered in multiple categories, it is eligible to win multiple times. Newsweek reserves the right to move any entry to another category at Newsweek’s sole discretion. To be eligible for consideration, each entry must be submitted with the appropriate entry fee. An entry will not be judged unless the fee has been paid in full by the entry deadline.

Winning entries will be selected via a panel of expert judges. The panel shall select award recipients based on the entrant’s ability to clearly show and communicate how they have used AI technology to solve critical health system problems, or significantly advance health system capabilities and can show measurable impact on clinical operations.

Finalists and winners will be revealed at the AI Impact Health Awards in New York City on September 23, 2026 and will be published on Newsweek.com and other Newsweek outlets.
