KRY RECOGNISED AS ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST INNOVATIVE HEALTHTECH COMPANIES

At the Global Startup Awards, we love celebrating innovators whose visionary work is transforming industries and improving lives. Today, we’re excited to spotlight a major recognition for Kry. As an European digital healthcare leader that’s reshaping how millions access care across borders.

For the first time, Time Magazine has published its list of the World’s Top HealthTech Companies of 2025, and Kry has earned a place among only 400 companies globally - making it one of the most innovative health technology businesses on the planet.

ADVANCING HEALTHCARE DELIVERY ACROSS BORDERS

Founded in Sweden in 2015, Kry’s mission has always been clear: build better, more accessible healthcare systems by seamlessly integrating digital and physical care. In just a decade, the company has expanded its presence across several countries, delivering virtual consultations and connected care services that bring healthcare directly to patients’ fingertips.

Being ranked by Time Magazine highlights Kry’s telemedicine category leadership, where platforms that enable remote care, from virtual consultations to online patient tools, are recognised for their technological impact.

WHAT THIS RECOGNITION MEANS

This accolade is more than a badge of honor, it reflects how Kry is helping redefine the future of health services:

• A new benchmark for digital care excellence.
  Out of thousands of healthtech companies reviewed, only 400 made the list. Kry’s inclusion and “high” rating based on financial strength, reputation, and digital engagement shows how its model delivers both strategic viability and real benefit to users.

• Healthcare that meets patients where they are.
  By combining virtual consultations with physical clinics, Kry bridges gaps in care access, enabling more people to connect with quality healthcare professionals quickly and conveniently.

• Innovation that scales across markets.
  Operating under the Kry and Livi brands in multiple European countries, the company demonstrates how digital platforms can improve health outcomes not just locally, but across borders and systems.

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR THE HEALTHTECH ECOSYSTEM

As healthcare systems globally face mounting pressures, from workforce shortages to rising costs, solutions like Kry’s illustrate what’s possible when technology meets compassionate care:

• Accessibility becomes real care.
  Virtual consultations help remove barriers to timely medical support, particularly for busy, underserved, or remote populations.

• Data and digital reach amplify impact.
  Kry’s digital platforms engage patients actively, giving them tools and touchpoints that traditional systems often lack.

• Recognition fuels further innovation.
  Being featured on a global list alongside other top healthtech pioneers signals that healthcare innovation isn’t just about cool tech, it’s about systems that improve lives at scale.
