GraphWear Recognized in Fast Company’s 2022 World Changing Ideas Awards with Two Honorable Mentions

GraphWear, the company pioneering needle-free disease monitoring, today announced it has been awarded honorable mentions in Fast Company’s 2022 World Changing Ideas Awards in both the Health and Employee Size: Small (fewer than 100 employees) categories.

Today, an estimated 133 million Americans suffer from ongoing chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease or migraines. GraphWear is transforming the way we monitor our health. The company has created a needle-free device that serves as the first non-invasive solution to chronic disease monitoring. Accessible, easy-to-use and affordable, GraphWear provides continuous insight into an individual’s health, helping to empower patients and providers to make informed decisions quickly and cost-effectively without tests or lengthy lab turnaround times. With a current focus on diabetes and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to track blood sugar levels in real-time, GraphWear is equalizing chronic condition healthcare.

“My team and I set out to create a ​healthcare management platform that is equally accessible and affordable to all,” said Rajatesh Gudibande, Co-Founder and CEO of GraphWear. “This recognition from Fast Company is an exciting honor that recognizes our advanced technology and the impact it will have on human health management.

This year’s awards honor clean technology, innovative corporate initiatives, brave new designs for cities and buildings, and other creative works that are supporting the growth of positive social innovation, tackling social inequality, climate change, and public health crises.

“We are consistently inspired by the novelty and creativity that people are applying to solve some of our society’s most pressing problems, from shelter to the climate crisis. Fast Company relishes its role in amplifying important, innovative work to address big challenges,” says David Lidsky, interim editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “Our journalists have identified some of the most ingenious initiatives to launch since the start of 2021, which we hope will both have a meaningful impact and lead others to join in being part of the solution.”

Now in its sixth year, the World Changing Ideas Awards showcase 39 winners, 350 finalists, and more than 600 honorable mentions—with climate, social justice, and AI and data among the most popular categories. A panel of eminent Fast Company editors and reporters selected winners and finalists from a pool of more than 2,997 entries across transportation, education, food, politics, technology, health, social justice, and more. In addition, several new categories have been added this year including climate, nature, water, and workplace.
