Home Health Care News and Arrowfly announced winners of the inaugural Product of the Year Awards, covering products and services for home health and home care providers. HHCN subscribers voted on nominees across 12 categories; Caribou’s Engagement and Shift Booking Platform received the most votes overall and was named Most Valuable Product.
Home Health Care News (HHCN) and Arrowfly have announced the winners of their inaugural Product of the Year Awards, with HHCN subscribers choosing products across 12 categories serving home health and home care providers. Caribou’s Engagement and Shift Booking Platform received the most votes overall and was named the Most Valuable Product, according to the organizers.
The awards recognize products, solutions and technologies intended for use across home health and home care. Vendors serving the sector submitted nominations earlier in the year, and HHCN subscribers then voted for their preferred entries. The organizers said category results include Gold, Silver and/or Bronze winners, with additional nominees listed in some categories.
Among the category winners, IO Health Technologies took Gold in Clinical Documentation, EHR and Care Coordination Platforms for the IO Health Platform. POM Safe won Gold in both Clinical Quality, Outcomes and Risk Management Technology, for Intake Risk Assessment, and Facilities, Safety, Infection Control and Home Environment Solutions, for its Workforce Safety Platform. Caribou also won Gold in Workforce Management, Staffing and Scheduling Solutions.
Other Gold winners included Zingage in Data Analytics and Business Intelligence Solutions; WellSky in Durable Medical Equipment and Home-Based Care Solutions; Aegle Technologies in Home Health and Home Care Operations Management Software; AutomationEdge in Marketing, Growth and Referral Management Platforms; Nevvon in Patient Engagement, Experience and Communication Technology; Cognitive Systems Corp in Remote Patient Monitoring and Virtual Care Technology; and Advanced RevCycle in Revenue Cycle Management, Billing and Compliance Solutions. Montauk AI won Gold in Capital, M&A, Financial and Advisory Services.
Awards Cover 12 Care Technology Categories
The results provide a subscriber-voted snapshot of products that HHCN readers chose across a wide range of home-based care needs, from clinical records and risk assessment to staffing, billing and patient communication. The range of categories reflects the many operational and care functions for which providers may evaluate technology.
The awards may help readers identify vendors and products to investigate, but the results alone do not establish that a product improves care outcomes, reduces costs or suits every organization. The source describes the awards as recognizing innovative, evidence-informed solutions; it does not provide comparative performance data or independent testing for the winners. Provider decisions still depend on their own requirements and evaluation of each product.

How Subscriber Voting Shaped Results
The awards followed a two-stage process described by HHCN and Arrowfly: industry vendors first submitted products and technologies for nomination, then HHCN subscribers voted after the nominations were finalized. The Most Valuable Product designation went to the entry with the highest overall vote total, while category placements were based on votes within the respective award group.
The first awards cycle includes 12 categories, though the number of placements varies by category. Some lists include only a Gold winner, while others name Silver or Bronze winners and additional nominees. In Revenue Cycle Management, Billing and Compliance Solutions, AxisCare and Inovalon tied for Silver. HHCN said a winner e-book and the awards website provide further details.
“The inaugural HHCN Product of the Year Awards highlight the innovative, evidence-informed solutions helping home health and home care organizations elevate care, improve safety and operate more effectively.”

Voting Details and Product Evidence
The announcement does not disclose vote totals, voter numbers, turnout, or the margin between winners and other entries. It also does not describe eligibility rules in detail or explain how nominees were assessed before the subscriber vote. The reported results establish which products received the awards under the stated process, not whether the winners outperform alternatives in independent evaluations.
The source does not provide product pricing, adoption figures, customer results or clinical and operational outcome data for the named products. Readers seeking those details would need to consult the companies or the awards materials. The announcement also does not say whether the awards will become an annual program.
Where Readers Can See Winners
HHCN directs readers to the Product of the Year Awards website and a downloadable winner e-book for further information on this year’s results. The announcement does not identify a date for another awards cycle or any upcoming event related to the winners.
