OnMed joins the ranks of Google, Nvidia, Adidas, Walmart, and more

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OnMed, the leader in tech-enabled hybrid healthcare, has been named to Fast Company’s prestigious list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2026. This year’s list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations. Alongside the World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies, OnMed has been ranked No. 14 in North America by Fast Company.

"This recognition is more than an honor. It's a testament to what's possible when access to healthcare is reimagined," said OnMed CEO Karthik Ganesh. “We built the OnMed CareStation™ to push beyond the limits of traditional and virtual models by combining advanced tech, AI power, and human delivery to create a more practical, scalable approach. OnMed is proud to be setting a new standard for reaching patients where they are.”

Over the past 18 months, OnMed has accelerated its expansion through high-impact partnerships that broaden access to care while deepening its reach to the underserved. In 2024, the company deployed CareStations in states hit hardest by rural crises—Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas—bringing critical care to communities left behind. The momentum continued into January 2025, when OnMed made its debut at CES, the world’s largest and most influential technology event, marking a turning point in the real-world traction of its model.

That same year, OnMed launched the nation’s first airport-based healthcare hub at Bradley International Airport and partnered with the Public Charter School Health Equity Initiative to bring CareStations to 30 schools nationwide. Today, the CareStation has deployments across the U.S. in retail and community centers, colleges and universities, and health and correctional facilities. OnMed’s growth continues into 2026, where it has scaled its footprint across Puerto Rico, with more expansion underway. These milestones drove recognition including TIME’s Best Inventions of 2025, the CES 2025 Picks Award, and Inc. Best in Business 2025 Award.

The World’s Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s hallmark franchise and one of its most anticipated editorial efforts of the year. To determine honorees, Fast Company’s editors and writers review companies driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions through a competitive application process. The result is a globe-spanning guide to innovation today, from early-stage startups to some of the most valuable companies in the world.

“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies is about spotlighting organizations that don’t just adapt to change—they drive it,” said Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “The companies we honor this year are redefining what leadership looks like in 2026, pairing bold ideas with measurable impact and turning breakthrough innovation into real-world value. They are setting the pace for their industries and offering a blueprint for what sustained innovation can achieve.”

The full list of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies honorees can now be found at fastcompany.com. It will also be available on newsstands beginning March 31, 2026.

Fast Company will host the Most Innovative Companies Summit and Gala for honorees on May 19 in New York City. The summit features a day of inspiring content, followed by a creative black-tie gala including networking, a seated dinner, and an honoree presentation.
