Andor Health has announced that its virtual care and collaboration platform, ThinkAndor®, has received the Innovative Technology designation from Vizient, Inc., the largest healthcare performance improvement organisation in the United States.

The recognition was awarded following the platform's presentation at the Vizient Innovative Technology Exchange held on 17 September in Las Vegas, Nevada, as part of the annual Vizient Connections Summit.

The designation is granted annually by Vizient's provider-led councils, which review select technologies based on their potential to enhance clinical care, patient and healthcare worker safety, or to improve the business operations of healthcare providers. Products recognised with this status are highlighted for their ability to positively impact patient care and the operational efficiency of healthcare organisations.

ThinkAndor® adopts an AI-first approach, integrating advanced features such as computer vision for patient observation, natural language processing (NLP) for documentation, and tools to optimise collaboration workflows. The platform aims to support healthcare providers in improving patient outcomes and streamlining clinical operations by offering innovative solutions across the continuum of care.

The recognition reflects the platform's ability to drive efficiency, return on investment (ROI), and responsible use of AI technologies.

Vizient's evaluation emphasises the significance of such tools in addressing the evolving needs of healthcare providers, from academic and community hospitals to integrated health networks and non-acute facilities.

Vizient oversees an annual purchasing portfolio exceeding $140 billion and leverages its Innovative Technology Programme to evaluate groundbreaking products that advance healthcare delivery. Technologies deemed worthy of this recognition may be awarded contracts outside the standard bidding process, underscoring their value to the healthcare sector.
