What you missed at the 2023 Healio Disruptive Innovators awards

Healio Gastroenterology was delighted to honor its 2023 Healio Disruptive Innovators during a prestigious awards ceremony at the American College of Gastroenterology Annual Meeting.

Now in its sixth year, the annual Healio Disruptive Innovators Awards celebrate the achievements of exemplary leaders in gastroenterology and hepatology. Each of the awardees in the nine categories have changed the face of gastroenterology or hepatology and pushed the status quo toward the betterment of the field.

Healio Gastroenterology readers were pivotal in selecting these winners, casting more than 3,000 votes to decide who was truly disrupting the field among a very impressive list of physicians, researchers, influencers and institutions.

These awards stem from the disruption that Healio has caused in gastroenterology. As the first publication to enter the market in decades, Healio uses a Peer Tested concept to deliver in print what our peers are reading online. We use analytics, data and social media to give us an idea of what’s trending. It’s quick, easy-to-read and perfect for the busy physician.

We believe the Healio Disruptive Innovators represent the revolutionary mindset of Healio Gastroenterology, which disrupted our consumption of information. From social media giants to health equity, these Healio Disruptive Innovators are the ultimate in Peer Tested.
