Summary
Maltese entrepreneur Elenya Spiteri was named one of three finalists in AmCham EU’s 2026 Youth Entrepreneurship Award, with the winner due to be announced on June 12 at the group’s Gala Evening.
Medilert, the venture she is developing, is moving from prototype to a market-ready healthcare product focused on safer medication management for older adults.
The system combines an automated pill dispenser with app monitoring and voice reminders, letting caregivers set schedules, track adherence and receive real-time updates.
Spiteri, 19, said the idea grew from her grandparents’ struggles with complex medication routines and aims to cut missed doses and accidental double dosing in elderly care.
The 14th edition of the award recognizes young European entrepreneurs whose projects tackle social and environmental challenges through innovation and sustainability.
