BROOKFIELD, Conn., Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ROM Technologies Inc.® (ROMTech®), creator of the PortableConnect® platform and a national leader in intelligent rehabilitation technology, announced today it has been named the winner of the “AI Impact – Remote Patient Monitoring” category in the 2026 Newsweek AI Impact Health Awards, recognizing organizations using artificial intelligence to address important challenges across healthcare.

With the submission titled “ROMTech Predictive Recovery: AI-Enabled Remote Monitoring for Earlier Clinical Intervention”, the recognition honors ROMTech’s continued advancement of remote rehabilitation through artificial intelligence, connected patient data, and clinician-directed care. The AI Impact – Remote Patient Monitoring category recognizes AI-enabled solutions that extend care beyond traditional clinical settings, focusing on clinical effectiveness, patient engagement, data reliability, and the ability to provide clinicians with insights that support timely, personalized care.

ROMTech’s Predictive Recovery approach builds on the PortableConnect® platform, enabling patients to complete clinician-directed rehabilitation at home while allowing care teams to monitor progress remotely throughout recovery. By analyzing rehabilitation data generated during therapy, ROMTech uses AI to identify changes that may signal when additional clinical attention is warranted.

“Winning the Newsweek AI Impact Health Award is an important validation of where we believe rehabilitation is headed,” said Peter Arn, CEO of ROMTech. “Remote monitoring has already given clinicians greater visibility into what happens between appointments. AI makes that information even more useful by identifying meaningful changes in recovery earlier and helping clinicians focus their attention where it can have the greatest impact. Our goal is not to replace clinical judgment, but to give providers better information while helping patients recover with greater confidence at home.”

ROMTech continues to expand both the scale and intelligence of its rehabilitation platform. More than 200,000 patients nationwide have now been treated using ROMTech technology, creating a growing body of real-world rehabilitation data that can help inform the company’s development of AI-driven insights and predictive capabilities.

Newsweek publicly announced this year’s winners on September 24, accompanied by a rollout across Newsweek’s channels. This honor also adds to a series of major national and global recognitions for ROMTech. Fast Company named ROMTech one of the Most Innovative Companies of 2025 for the PortableConnect®. In 2026, the company was named to LexisNexis’ Top 100 Global Innovators, recognizing the strength and quality of its intellectual property portfolio, and received the MedTech Breakthrough Award for Best Home Health Care Solution. ROMTech was also selected among The Healthcare Technology Report’s Top Healthcare Technology Companies of 2026.
