BridgeHead Software has once again earned global recognition as its HealthStore® Clinical Data Repository (CDR) is named the “Best Healthcare Data Repository Solution” at this year’s MedTech Breakthrough Awards.
The MedTech Breakthrough Awards, hosted by an independent digital health research group, honour the most innovative healthcare technologies from around the globe. This win marks the fourth for BridgeHead, following earlier successes in 2017, 2019, and 2023.
HealthStore® enables healthcare organisations to centralise access to non-EHR data such as imaging, scanned records, and lab results. This consolidated repository ensures clinicians can view essential information directly within their EHR workflows, supporting better care decisions and operational efficiencies.
Built with interoperability in mind, HealthStore uses standards like FHIR, HL7, and DICOM to ensure seamless data exchange across disparate systems. Its ability to retrieve and share information with platforms including Epic, Oracle Health and eHealth Exchange was recently demonstrated at HIMSS 2025 in Las Vegas.
“HealthStore has been specifically designed to augment the patient record with easy access to data residing outside of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. As a centralised, interoperable clinical data hub, HealthStore underpins healthcare organisations’ digital transformation journeys and enables them to manage and leverage one of their most important and strategic assets, patient and clinical data, so critical in today’s modern healthcare ecosystem,” said Jim Beagle, President and CEO at BridgeHead Software.
“It’s a thrill to accept the ‘Best Healthcare Data Repository Solution’ from MedTech Breakthrough. It is recognition that the direction we have taken with HealthStore as the ‘Foundation for the Future of Clinical Data Management’ is the right one. We will continue our efforts to ensure HealthStore continues to support the ever-changing needs of healthcare providers with advanced, future-proof data management solutions.”
Celebrating ingenuity across sectors like patient engagement, EHRs, medical privacy, and telehealth, the MedTech Breakthrough Awards drew a record number of submissions in 2025, with entrants spanning more than 18 countries.
“Data locked in departmental silos or with other barriers to access, collaboration or sharing leave healthcare organizations with unnecessary burdens in productivity and effectiveness that impede care delivery and negatively impact patient outcomes and experiences. By aggregating disparate, often siloed, datasets, BridgeHead’s HealthStore is driving improved clinical and operational efficiencies for its customers,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, MedTech Breakthrough.
“BridgeHead’s HealthStore Clinical Data Repository is redefining what’s possible in clinical data management, helping providers to consolidate, store, protect and share data from across the healthcare enterprise and beyond – now and into the future.”
Among its many benefits, HealthStore plays a key role in enterprise imaging and legacy application retirement strategies, offering both cost savings and continuity. It also facilitates real-time data exchange and supports resilience during downtimes.
BridgeHead customers offered testimonials in support of the award. “We’re delighted that BridgeHead’s HealthStore has been recognised for the 2025 MEDTECH Breakthrough Award for Best Healthcare Data Repository Solution. HealthStore has given us a powerful and scalable foundation for managing legacy and clinical data across our enterprise. It has significantly reduced our overall costs while streamlining access for our Medical Records staff – allowing them to retrieve information from one central location instead of navigating seven separate systems. It’s become a critical component of our long-term data strategy at Mt. Graham Regional Medical Center,” said Justin Millar, Director of Information Technology and Security Management at Mount Graham Regional Medical Center in Arizona.
