Annual list recognizes the businesses that set the standard for workplace success and awards excellence in company culture
CalmWave, creator of the Calm ICU™ and leader in eliminating non-actionable alarms through healthcare data science and Transparent AI, announced today that has been named to Inc.’s 2025 Best Workplaces list honoring companies that have built exceptional workplaces that support their teams and businesses.
“This recognition reflects the integrity, grit, and heart of our team and reinforces our belief that meaningful innovation begins with creating an exceptional place to work,” said Ophir Ronen, founder and CEO, CalmWave. “We share a singular mission to transform healthcare by redefining and optimizing hospital operations, enabling clinicians to focus on what matters most: patient care. The entire CalmWave team is driven to make an impact, united by a shared commitment to improve healthcare for both clinicians and patients.”
CalmWave is the first effective solution to address the endemic problem of alarm fatigue in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Alarm fatigue occurs when the constant stream of alarms overwhelms both clinicians and patients, often due to a flood of non-actionable alarms – alerts triggered by monitoring systems that do not require immediate intervention or clinical response. These alarms account for 80–99% of those in ICUs and are the primary cause of alarm fatigue. This cacophony not only increases the risk of negative outcomes such as ICU delirium but also places significant strain on healthcare staff, ultimately impacting overall patient care.
CalmWave is redefining hospital operations, starting by eliminating alarm fatigue in ICUs and expanding to deliver enterprise-wide operational intelligence that enhances clinical workflows, optimizes clinical engineering, and supports system-wide staff well-being. The Calm ICU™ is a signal-led critical care environment powered by CalmWave that reduces alarm burden using data science and allows clinical teams to focus on patient care, accelerate ICU throughput, improve patient safety and enhance hospital operations. It enables hospitals to align teams, technology, and time – informing decisions where they matter most: at the bedside.
“Inc.’s Best Workplaces program celebrates the exceptional organizations whose workplace cultures address their employees’ welfare and needs in meaningful ways,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “As companies expand and adapt to changing economic forces, maintaining such a culture is no small feat. Yet these honorees have not only achieved it – they continue to elevate the employee experience through thoughtful benefits, engagement, and a deep commitment to their teams.”
This year’s list, featured on Inc.com, is the result of comprehensive measurement and evaluation of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company cultures, whether in-person or remote.
The Best Workplaces award process involved a detailed employee survey conducted by Quantum Workplace covering critical occupational elements such as management effectiveness, perks, professional development, and overall culture. Company benefits were also audited to determine overall score and ranking. CalmWave is honored to be included among the 514 companies recognized this year.

About CalmWave
CalmWave's mission is to objectively improve healthcare, starting with safely eliminating non-actionable alarms. Alarms triggered by bedside monitoring systems that do not require immediate intervention or clinical response comprise 80-99% of all audible alarms in intensive care units (ICUs). They contribute to a well-recognized and widespread issue known as alarm fatigue, endemic to every hospital worldwide. Alarm fatigue, rampant in the modern healthcare system, causes great stress for clinicians and patients, ultimately impacting patient outcomes and staff retention. Using Transparent AI, CalmWave outlines the rationale behind each optimized setting, empowering a hospital’s clinical staff to evaluate and implement optimized alarm limit recommendations in the bedside monitor at the patient’s bedside using the CalmWave Operations Platform, which integrates seamlessly with the hospital’s EMR. Doing so remediates alarm fatigue and can improve staff retention and patient outcomes. Visit CalmWave.ai for more information and follow us on LinkedIn and X.
