I continue to be a big advocate for the opportunities within Digital Health to help solve some of the foundational issues affecting people in healthcare. I think we're starting to look at some inflection points that are making a lot more of the ideas and concepts already out there a lot more viable. Plus, we simply cannot afford as a society to miss out on these efficiency and outcome driving opportunities with everything else we also need to be able to do and fund. When you look at this list from The Medical Futurist, a common denominator to me is just how credible and doable all the opportunities are - NOW! Now, if only the regulatory bureaucracy could catch up, we would have a flurry of new opportunities to increase quality of care and life for millions. #digitalhealth #trends #startup #regulation https://lnkd.in/duSr7qSm

Technology in healthcare has the potential to work wonders. That is why it is such a deeply fulfilling industry to be a part of. At the same time we do need to make sure that everything that gets out to patients to improve outcomes is safe, clinically validated and improves patients lives. These are critical components of the journey, and the core reasons why it takes so much know-how, time and money to get from idea to product to market. But when the product is there - in the hands of patients - and you're starting to see the outcomes, the rewards are tangible from every angle imaginable. And all the hard work, agony, frustration and stress pays off big time. As one investor put it: "Investing in health is like a piece of fireworks with a very long fuse; it will take a long time for the spark to reach the powder, but when it does, it goes BANG!! big time!" I could not agree more. And I am in awe of all those great, skilled people, who work hard every single day to enable great strides within healthcare utilizing to the max the opportunities in new and emerging technologies. #healthcare #innovation #invention #startup https://lnkd.in/gyXrWDMA

💥 Groundbreaking innovation does not predict success. As promising as they may be, the vast majority of digital health technologies (DHTs) will fail to scale. Against the backdrop of an increasingly competitive and regulated environment, how can digital health entrepreneurs ensure their companies thrive? Our latest systematic review, published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, uncovers the key success factors for growth-stage digital health companies. ➡️ Top Success Factors: Financial viability and market demand are essential for ensuring long-term sustainability. Meanwhile, external factors, like regulatory alignment, take on even greater importance in the digital health sector compared to broader tech industries. ➡️ DHT-Specific Insights: Digital health companies uniquely prioritize data security, system interoperability, and regulatory compliance. Success factors also vary across categories: ▪️Digital Therapeutics thrive through close collaboration with healthcare providers, among others. ▪️Health System Software relies on affordability and integration into existing systems. ➡️ Why this matters: This research offers a clear roadmap for entrepreneurs, stakeholders, and researchers to navigate challenges, scale effectively, and drive impactful innovation. 🙏 A big thank you to the co-authors Tobias Kowatsch, Laura Bitomsky, Marcia Nißen, and Christoph Kausch 🔗

The new CB Insights Digital Health report is out. Here is a short summary: 1️⃣ #Europe is falling behind with the lowest deal share in past years of only 17%, compared to 61% of the #USA. 2️⃣ #Angel and #Corporate investing fell to a low of 6% and 13% respectively. We don’t expect corporate investment to pick up in the short term. They might better focus on creating strategic advantages and acquisitions. Good investors go anti-cyclical - so this could be a good time for Angels to be more active. 3️⃣ The number of #earlystage #funding has been down, from a stable 65% to 51% of total deals, for the first time since 2020. In Europe the share went from 74% down to 66%. 4️⃣ The time of #Unicorns is over and flat since 2022. There has been no new HealthTech unicorn this year. 5️⃣ The vast majority of exits remain M&A - making it almost the only realistic #exit scenario. Let's take those global numbers with caution. In the past #Switzerland has been more resilient, also in startup investments and especially in the #Healthcare industry, one of the backbones of the country. https://lnkd.in/e37r8Usc
