CareMessage Awarded on TIME’s List of the 2026 World’s Top HealthTech Companies
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, September 22, 2026 – CareMessage, a social enterprise and the largest patient engagement platform for low-income populations in the United States, has been included in the first edition of the World’s Top HealthTech Companies 2026. This prestigious award is presented by TIME and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The award list was announced on September 17th, 2026, and can be viewed on Time.com.
The World’s Top HealthTech Companies 2026 ranking recognizes leading innovators advancing healthcare globally through technology. Companies were evaluated using three primary data sources: Financial Performance Metrics, Reputation Analysis, and Online Engagement. Out of thousands of HealthTech companies reviewed, the top 500 were recognized for their outstanding performance across these critical areas. Based on the results of the study, CareMessage is ecstatic to be recognized on TIME’s list of the World’s Top HealthTech Companies 2026.
Statista publishes hundreds of worldwide industry rankings and company listings with high-profile media partners. This research and analysis service is based on the success of statista.com, the leading data and business intelligence portal that provides statistics, relevant business data, and various market and consumer studies and surveys.
“Being recognized alongside the industry's leading health technology companies confirms something we've worked on for more than a decade: building for the patients with the fewest resources isn't a smaller version of the work. It's the harder version, and it's where technology has the most to prove," said Cecilia Corral, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of CareMessage.
About CareMessage
CareMessage is a social enterprise and the largest patient engagement platform for low-income populations in the United States. We deliver personalized health education and care coordination through text messaging — reaching patients where they already are, in the language they speak, at the moments that matter most. Unlike technology built for large health systems and adapted down, CareMessage is designed from the ground up for organizations serving low-income, historically marginalized communities.
Founded in 2012, CareMessage has engaged more than 22 million people across 45 states, partnering with FQHCs, free and charitable clinics, and tribal health organizations to produce measurable improvements in health equity. We reinvest revenue into impact rather than shareholder returns, because we believe that market discipline and social mission are not a trade-off. They are the same strategy.
CareMessage has been named to TIME’s 2026 list of the 100 Most Influential Companies as the sole Impact in Equality awardee, recognized at the World Economic Forum with the Schwab Foundation Award for Social Entrepreneurship, and named to Inc.’s Best in Business list for Social Good.
