PARK, Ill., Nov. 17,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Abbott (NYSE: ABT) has been
recognized by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) with three
CES 2023 Innovation Awards for its life-changing technologies that
are advancing the health tech industry and improving the lives of
people worldwide. The CTA is the organization behind the Consumer
Electronics Show (CES), the most influential technology event in
the world.
Ahead of the CES 2023 event, three of Abbott's industry-leading
tech advancements won CES 2023 Innovation Awards, all within the
Digital Health award category:
- Aveir VR Leadless Pacemaker – The world's only
leadless pacemaker with a unique mapping capability to assess

completely retrievable. The system was developed by Abbott to treat
patients with slow heart rhythms and eliminates wires used to
deliver therapy in traditional pacemakers.
- Proclaim Plus SCS System – Abbott's latest advancement
in neurostimulation therapy to treat chronic pain using low doses
of targeted BurstDR™ stimulation that can be adjusted as a person's
therapeutic needs evolve across up to six areas of the body, which
is more pain sites in the body than ever before.
- Alinity m Monkeypox PCR test1 – A
first of its kind, Abbott received FDA Emergency Use Authorization
of its PCR test for detecting the monkeypox virus.
The CES Innovation Awards program is an annual competition

products. The program recognizes the year's most innovative
products in a multitude of consumer technology product categories
and distinguishes the highest-rated in each.

keynote CES, and the company has received nine CES Innovation
Awards in the past two years.

the UltreonTM 1.0 intravascular imaging and coronary
physiology software platform, which helps guide and optimize
stenting decisions, combining optical coherence tomography with
artificial intelligence.
In addition to the CES 2023 awards, Abbott also was recently
recognized with other top honors for its healthcare technology
including its revolutionary FreeStyle Libre technology being named
