Health is more than medical care
Growing pressures on health systems and consumers mean the “old ways” won’t work anymore. The industry is changing, and the stakes are higher than ever.
Delivery of Health
Quality care at lower costs
With the growing healthcare cost and care quality crisis, an eagerness to adopt new digital tools that impact clinical practice is evident across the healthcare market.
But technology for technology’s sake is not what stakeholders want or need.
Healthcare systems need proven, monetizable end-to-end solutions aimed at improving patient outcomes in low cost settings. This includes remote patient monitoring, tele-health, genomics, digital therapeutics and diagnostics, and other tech enabled care delivery models.

Doing more with less
In this theme, we are not necessarily looking for rocket science solutions that take years to develop and to clear regulations, but instead for specific solutions that are extremely useful with a very fast and clear ROI for the right stakeholders.
These solutions often aim at offloading low-value and time-consuming tasks associated with compliance and business management. They include tools and services for winning more business, collecting revenue and improving the security and usability of health data.

Patient as Stakeholder
Higher out-of-pocket costs in health insurance and elevated shopper expectations have driven consumers towards a desire for greater control of their health.
Within this bucket we are looking for more than just clever marketing plays but rather startups that are bringing real product breakthroughs. This includes companies leveraging science, hardware and AI to generate unique consumer health value propositions, often in the form of trusted advisor-type tools assist in tough and costly choices or as products that solve tangible health needs. The distribution model usually starts as direct to consumer and scales via partnerships.
