Here are three things to consider when investing in digital healthcare, according to the reports.
1. StartUp Health estimated nearly $6.5 billion has been invested into digital health deals in the first three quarters of 2016, compared with the more than $6.1 billion that was invested during the entire year of 2015.
2. SVB suggested the best opportunities to invest in are companies or organizations that connect the patient experience with real-world data or clinical-grade data.
3. With respect to U.S.-based companies, both StartUp Health and SVB claimed companies located in the San Francisco Bay area continue to attract the most capital, roughly $1.2 billion ─ almost twice as much as the amount of capital invested into companies located in New York or Boston.
