Everyone is a contender.
We’re down to four companies in our 2022 Inno Madness competition, and it’s been a tight race up to this point — thanks to your votes.
Round 3 recap
Eight companies. Four matchups. Four winners. But not by much.
That’s what unfolded in the third round of this year’s battle, with close calls across the board. But now, we have our players moving on to the next round.
Oxiwear, MarginEdge and Somatus — each with 51% of the votes in their matchups — edged out True Made Foods, MemoryWell and Shift5. Rose Health claimed 55% of the vote over Decision Lens.
Will the finals feature an underdog or two? Will we see a returning champion? Will it be a health care-only duel? Anything can happen.
