Ascom Telligence 7 Named “Best Overall Medical Device Product” in 2025 MedTech Breakthrough Awards Program

Ascom, a global solutions provider focused on healthcare ICT and mobile workflow solutions, today announced that it has been selected as winner of the “Best Overall Medical Device Product” award in the 9^th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by MedTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global digital health and medical technology market.

Ascom’s Telligence 7 is a next-generation nurse call system for acute care environments. The secure and adaptable solution simplifies technology ownership for hospitals. With a cloud-based deployment option, organizations can use a cloud-based SQL server for scalability, flexibility, and security, reducing onsite installation time as well as reliance on local servers. Telligence 7 also delivers high cybersecurity, allowing customers to use unique database naming provisioning and credentialing.

Unique to Telligence is its smart software capability for importing and exporting templates that streamline deployments for Ascom partners and customers. While the system is online, customers can deploy and cascade templates themselves for more efficiency. Hospital IT administrators can also make configuration changes and push updates with no disruption to clinical delivery, eliminating downtime of IP devices or units and improving workflows.

A flexible hardware design provides the capabilities of a Station Gateway and TelliConnect in the form factor of a dome light. This space-saving design supports medical device integration and more hardware options. Users can also reuse existing cable infrastructure from other system designs, making the transition to Ascom Telligence seamless.

 “We’re pleased to receive this recognition from MedTech Breakthrough. As a critical component of the Ascom Healthcare Platform, Telligence 7 reflects our commitment to empower clinicians with the right information at the right time to help make the best possible decisions for the patients they serve,” said Tobias Stanelle, Managing Director, Ascom Americas.  

The MedTech Breakthrough Awards program celebrates excellence and innovation in the health and medical technology industry, recognizing the companies, products, and solutions driving meaningful progress and improving patient care. Spanning a wide range of categories—including Telehealth, Clinical Administration, Patient Engagement, Electronic Health Records (EHR), Virtual Care, Medical Devices, Medical Data & Privacy, and beyond—the awards highlight the groundbreaking work that is transforming the healthcare landscape.

This year’s program saw a record-breaking number of nominations from leading companies and startups across more than 18 countries, showcasing the global impact and momentum of the digital healthcare industry today.

“A true evolution from traditional nurse call, Telligence 7's exciting features are making a difference for nurses, patients and hospital IT staff. Patient and staff communication needs within an acute care environment are changing, necessitating solutions that meet these evolving clinical, technical and operational needs,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, MedTech Breakthrough. “Telligence 7 from Ascom elevates the clinical workflow experience while also saving space, reducing costs and supporting expanded capabilities, like medical device integration. The result is more responsive patient-centric care. We’re thrilled to award Ascom with ‘Best Overall Medical Device Product’ for 2025!”
