HealthPricer Awards

HealthPricer joins Revolution Health and MayoClinic, among others, as official honorees in the health category of the 2008 Webby Awards. Deemed the "Oscars of the Internet", The Webby Awards is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet. Established in 1996 during the Web's infancy, the Webbys are presented by The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, a 550-member body of leading Web experts, business figures, luminaries, visionaries and creative celebrities. Of the more than 8000 entries submitted to the 12th Annual Webby Awards, fewer than 15% were distinguished as an Official Honoree. This honor signifies an outstanding caliber of work.

HealthPricer was selected from hundreds of applicant companies to demonstrate at DEMO 08, held in Palm Desert California from January 28 to January 30, 2008. DEMO is the premier, unparalleled event that showcases the latest, best technologies - those that promise to literally reshape our future and enrich our lives. For 17 years, DEMO has established a reputation for identifying and presenting to an elite audience the products most likely to have a significant impact on the marketplace and market trends in the coming year. Each product is carefully screened and selected by DEMO's Executive Producer, Chris Shipley, one of the top trend spotters in the personal technology product industry.
