LIA, Lightning Step’s AI Assistant, wins Silver Stevie® Award for 2025 Healthcare Technology Solution of the Year

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Another major milestone achieved by LIA: Lightning Step is proud to announce that its AI-powered assistant has been awarded the Silver Stevie® Award for 2025 Healthcare Technology Solution of the Year. This recognition celebrates LIA’s growing impact on clinical efficiency and quality of care across behavioral health and addiction treatment centers.

The Stevie® Awards honor innovation and excellence across industries, placing LIA among the most impactful digital solutions in healthcare today. This reflects its growing value in behavioral health and addiction treatment settings, where time, clarity, and connection are critical.

LIA was developed with a single purpose: to make the work of care teams more manageable and efficient. From automating repetitive tasks to creating clinical documentation in real time, it gives staff more room to think, act, and care, without compromising accuracy or compliance.

“This award is not just about LIA. It’s about what we believe in,” said Dr. Martin Ignatovski, CIO & CTO of Lightning Step. “Elevating Care, Together means designing tools that genuinely help those delivering care. With LIA, we’ve created something that respects their time, enhances their effectiveness, and ultimately benefits the people they serve.”

At the heart of Lightning Step’s mission is a commitment to meaningful and transparent innovation, the kind that solves real problems in real-world clinical environments. LIA is a direct expression of that mission: built by people who understand the challenges of treatment settings, and shaped by ongoing feedback from the field.
