Fountain Valley-based CarMD.com garnered recognition for its Vehicle Health System during the 2010 Edison Best New Product Awards. The platform won silver in the electronics and computers category.
The $99 handheld system checks for hidden problems, monitors emissions and solves “check engine” light issues. Software included with the device allows users to generate a report indicating the problem, repair costs, recalls and more.
The award was presented April 29 in New York by the great grandniece of Thomas Edison, Sarah Miller Caldicott.
“Innovation is more important now than ever,” said Caldicott. “The Edison Award-winners are the moving parts in the engine of economic growth. They inspire people to think outside the box and their results improve the lives of people around the world.”
The CarMD Vehicle Health System works on all 1996 or newer vehicles manufactured in the United States, foreign and domestic.
“Nearly a decade ago my team and I shared a vision that one day drivers could monitor their vehicles’ health and solve problems as easily as they put gas in their car,” said Leon Chen, CEO of CarMD.com. “We are honored to have our years of hard work recognized by such an esteemed award, and CarMD looks toward delivering even more innovations and solutions for drivers in the future”
The Edison Best New Product Awards were founded 23 years ago by the American Marketing Association.
Awardees are selected in a peer-review system and voted on by 2,000 members.
Irvine-based health-care firm Allergan took home a bronze award in the consumer drug segment for its Latisse product.
