What are the Classy Awards?

This year, Classy had 1300 programs across all cause categories submit nominations. The application process was rigorous and intensive. Judging used a stringent criteria that assessed an organization’s potential to solve a problem with an innovative solution.
Our program, along with the 99 other Finalists, is now in the running to become a winner. Our fate is being passed on to the Leadership Council, a diverse board of experts and thought leaders who will collectively vote to determine the 10 Classy Award Winners.
The Global Clubfoot Technology Platform builds upon our Global Clubfoot Program (sustainable partnerships with local clubfoot providers). The technology platform will accelerate the rollout of clubfoot treatment in low income settings. This enabling us, other NGOs, and governments to eradicate one the disability caused by clubfoot. We are developing a core platform that enhances patient support and treatment quality through SMS communication/mHealth, e-learning, telemedicine, a low cost brace with sensors, and a mobile native clubfoot data management system.
