BERWYN, Penn., – May 7, 2026 – Mural Health, a participant-first clinical trial technology company, today announced it won the “Patient Engagement Innovation Award” in the 10th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by MedTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the most innovative companies, technologies, and products in the global digital health and medical technology market.

Mural Link, the company's e-suite of participant support tools, facilitates the whole clinical trial journey in one place — travel, payments, communication, and real human support. It offers participants the broadest payment options in the industry, in-app rideshare and travel concierge services, ongoing feedback capture, real-time reporting, and access to Mural Health's Patient Kindness Group, where participants are connected with a dedicated point of contact available around the clock.

Recent enhancements include expanded global payment options  like local digital wallets and local bank transfers that enable participants to receive faster, familiar payments anywhere in the world. 

“Participants are at the center of everything we do. While others focus on operations or purely financial software, we ensure families can navigate complex travel logistics, receive personalized assistance, and truly feel valued and seen as they make sacrifices in service of medical progress.,” said Sam Whitaker, Founder and CEO, Mural Health. “We want to thank MedTech Breakthrough for this acknowledgment, underscoring our purpose — to make clinical trial participation easier for everyone.”

Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, the MedTech Breakthrough Awards program has spent a decade recognizing the companies driving meaningful progress and improving patient care across the global health and medical technology industry. The program spans a wide range of categories including Telehealth, Clinical Administration, Patient Engagement, Electronic Health Records (EHR), Virtual Care, Medical Devices and beyond — honoring the innovations reshaping how care is delivered worldwide.

This year’s program drew a record-breaking number of nominations from leading companies and startups across more than 20 countries, reflecting the growing global impact and momentum of the digital healthcare industry.

“It’s no wonder Mural Health is the partner of choice for leading pharma companies and CROs. Participation is crucial to medical research, and for the majority of trial participants, the reason they are able to remain is reimbursement. But patients and caregivers face barriers to getting reimbursed, being able to fund and organize travel or a healthy meal, and then have to deal with tax implications,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director, MedTech Breakthrough. “Mural Health removes the financial and logistical barriers that stand between patients and life-saving treatments, while treating every participant with the kindness and respect they deserve.”

Mural Health has also launched meal delivery services for specific TAs and individual needs, so participants can eat well during their trial without out-of-pocket cost or hassle. Initially available in the U.S. in partnership with ModifyHealth, a clinical nutrition platform that empowers patients and care organizations to address chronic conditions through food-as-medicine, this service allows trial participants using Mural Link to select from a menu of healthy, ready-to-enjoy meals at no out-of-pocket cost during trial participation.
