Global Digital Health Investments Growth Opportunities
Frost & Sullivan observed a significant increase in the digital transformation of healthcare and demand for effective IT solutions to improve care delivery, creating a lot of excitement among investors. Venture capitalist activities in health technology rise as healthcare organizations, clinical trial providers, insurance firms, employers, and policymakers become increasingly willing to adopt tech-oriented solutions. We noted investment records set over the last three years while new trends and business models arise as strategic mergers and acquisitions occur.
Notable emerging themes include virtual care, patient engagement, platform approach, behavioral health, and femtech, driven by shifts in consumerism and decentralization of care delivery. As technologies evolve and become vital to efficient and cost-effective healthcare operations, innovators in this space will succeed with agile business models and scalability. They need to be ready to drive technology changes and demonstrate value to customers.
