Venture capital dollars are pouring into digital health companies. Investment in US-based startups alone soared to a record $29.1 billion in 2021, nearly doubling the prior year’s record of $14.9 billion. Telemedicine, mental health, and wellness apps are several categories that have seen significant spikes in funding and adoption in the past year. But despite the monumental progress made in digital health technology, there are fundamentally large groups of people who are still not able to access this innovation, and are not getting their medical needs met through their existing healthcare benefits plans.
