In 2017, she was recognized by Medical, Marketing & Media as one of the top 40 healthcare transformers described as "...perfectly suited for...

Healthware was created over 20 years ago based upon a recognition of the anticipated convergence of healthcare + software”, says CEO & Founder, Roberto Ascione. With the surging growth of digital health and more specifically, the field of digital therapeutics, that convergence continues and it’s clear that strategic partnerships will continue to play a vital role in advancing the field of digital health and digital therapeutics. Kristin’s experience is perfectly suited to help nurture and grow key partnerships as Healthware Group continues to grow and expand within digital health.

With regards to her new role, Kristin Milburn states,

From CVS and Sleepio to OneDrop and Bayer, to Happify and Sanofi, every day more and more strategic partnerships are being born between various players in the digital health ecosystem and will continue to be an important aspect of growth in this nascent but rapidly growing field. I couldn’t be more excited to help continue to foster those relationships for Healthware Group and their clients.
