Elemental win DigiLeaders 100 Healthtech Innovation AND the overall 2020 award
Commenting on the awards, Elemental CEO and Co-founder Jennifer Neff said: “In just two years, we have grown from a small start-up by two former community development workers into an essential part of the rapidly expanding social prescribing world. It is a tribute to our amazing team to have this recognition from Digileaders100. Social Prescribing gives valuable help to so many even in the best of times. The dramatic increase in the number of Social Prescriptions being made since March has underlined its vital role in helping thousands of people cope with the added impact of the pandemic.”
