Home Health Care News and Arrowfly have announced the winners of their inaugural Product of the Year Awards, spanning 12 categories of products and services for home health and home care.

Home Health Care News (HHCN) and Arrowfly have announced the winners of their inaugural Product of the Year Awards, with HHCN subscribers voting for products and solutions across 12 categories serving home health and home care providers. Caribou’s Engagement and Shift Booking Platform received the most votes overall and was named the Most Valuable Product.
The awards cover tools and services intended for use across home-based care, including clinical documentation, risk management, analytics, medical equipment, patient engagement, remote monitoring, billing and workforce scheduling. Vendors serving the sector submitted nominations earlier in the year. After nominations were finalized, HHCN subscribers voted for their preferred entries in each category.
Winners were designated Gold, Silver or Bronze where those placements were awarded. In the workforce management, staffing and scheduling category, Caribou won Gold, Homecare Homebase’s HCHB Smart Scheduling took Silver, and Palm Care’s Care Hero received Bronze. Caribou also won the overall MVP distinction for receiving the most votes across the awards, according to the announcement.
Other Gold winners include IO Health Technologies for its IO Health Platform in clinical documentation and care coordination; POM Safe for Intake Risk Assessment in clinical quality and risk management; and Zingage for Zingage Operator in data analytics and business intelligence. HHCN also named Aegle Technologies’ SwyftOps the Gold winner for facilities and safety, AutomationEdge’s Referral Intake CareFlo AI for marketing and referral management, and Nevvon’s Family Caregiver Training Hub for patient engagement.
The remaining category Gold awards went to WellSky for Bonafide, Powered by WellSky, in durable medical equipment and home-based care; Cognitive Systems Corp for Caregiver by Cognitive in remote patient monitoring and virtual care; and Advanced RevCycle for ACE in revenue cycle management, billing and compliance. AxisCare and Inovalon tied for Silver in that revenue-cycle category. The capital, mergers and acquisitions, financial and advisory services category named Montauk AI’s Operate. Optimize. Exit. Platform Gold and WOTC.com’s Business Portal Silver.
Subscriber Votes Shape Industry Recognition
The awards offer a snapshot of which products drew support from HHCN’s subscriber audience, which includes readers following home health and home care operations. That makes the results a form of reader recognition, rather than an evaluation based solely on a judging panel or a published performance test. The announcement says the awards are intended to recognize evidence-informed products and solutions with real-world impact, but it does not provide a comparative assessment of product outcomes.
For providers, the range of categories reflects the varied operational challenges addressed by technology vendors, from staffing and scheduling to documentation, referrals, billing and patient communication. The list may help readers identify products to investigate, but an award result by itself does not establish that a product will improve outcomes or fit every organization. The source does not report measured effects, adoption rates or a standardized comparison among winners.

How the Inaugural Awards Were Chosen
HHCN and Arrowfly described the program as a new awards initiative for products, solutions and technologies used by home health and home care providers. Vendors submitted nominations earlier in 2026, and HHCN subscribers voted after the nominations were finalized. The awards then assigned category placements based on voting results, with Gold, Silver and/or Bronze winners listed in categories and an overall MVP selected from the product receiving the most votes.
The published results list nominees as well as award recipients. For example, WellSky products appear among the nominees in clinical documentation and facilities-related categories, while AxisCare products are listed among winners or nominees in several areas. The announcement directs readers to the HHCN POY Awards website and a downloadable Winner eBook for more detail. It does not describe the number of voters or provide vote totals.
“The inaugural HHCN Product of the Year Awards highlight the innovative, evidence-informed solutions helping home health and home care organizations elevate care, improve safety and operate more effectively.”
— Robert Holly, Arrowfly vice president and editorial director
Vote Totals and Evaluation Details
The announcement does not disclose the number of subscribers who voted, vote totals, the voting period or the margin between winners. It also does not explain whether entries were screened against specific evidence standards or how the organizers assessed claims about real-world impact. As a result, readers cannot use the published placements to compare the scale of support or independently assess product performance.
The awards recognize products through subscriber voting, but the source does not provide outcome data showing how winning products affect care quality, safety, workforce capacity or provider finances. Those impacts remain unquantified in the announcement. The available information also does not establish whether the program will recur annually.
Where Readers Can Find Results
HHCN directs readers to its Product of the Year Awards website for more information and says a Winner eBook is available to download. The published announcement does not give a date for another awards cycle or outline additional events tied to the results. Providers considering any listed product will need to seek further information from vendors and assess whether it meets their own operational and care requirements.
