PRESS RELEASE

Published October 4, 2023

Over 4,000 executives, professionals and consultants from healthcare providers, payers, vendors, advisory firms, investment banks and venture capital organizations assessed emerging solutions on their individual ability to contribute to a more integrated, patient-centric, productivity-enhancing HIT ecosystem and outperform competitors.

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / October 4, 2023 / Despite global digital health funding slipping to an eight-year low, investors continue to back promising healthcare IT startups, with Q2-Q3 seeing upticks in early-stage deal sizes and mega-round deals with increases for the first time since Q4 2021. Digital health deals dropped from 463 in Q1 2023 to 348 in Q2 2023. The deal count reached its lowest level since Q2 2015. Care delivery and navigation tech companies, followed by health insurance and revenue cycle management tools, accounted for more than half of the funding so far in 2023.

“With markets down and health IT investors skittish, it’s been a tough couple of years for early, venture-backed startups,” said Doug Brown, President of Black Book. “These 50 were rated by the VC and investment banking sectors as having the best chances of reaching profitable industry success, some even speculated to achieve billion-dollar valuations.”

In total, 4,043 executives, professionals, and consultants from 3,355 healthcare providers, payers, vendors, advisory firms, investment banks and venture capital organizations assessed emerging IT solutions on their individual ability to contribute to a more integrated, patient-centric, productivity-enhancing HIT ecosystem.

The series of surveys conducted between April and September 2023 presented 925 recently funded, capitalized, rebranded, merged or acquired, and expanding vendor solutions trending on the radar of healthcare technology investment observers, to be scored on 18 start-up specific key performance indicators.

Black Book employs the industry’s unique qualitative KPIs specific to emerging vendors and products’ ability to reshape or alter the existing situation and static IT systems, including Product Mission, Vendor Business Model, Core Product Value Proposition, Market Timing, Problem-Orientation Technology, Product Differentiation, Demonstrated Leadership, Capitalization & Funding, Competitive Advantage and Rivalry, Momentum to Take IT to the Next Level, Organizational Agility, Creativity and Innovative Output, Challenge to the HIT Status Quo, Motivation of Team Members, Potential for Growth, Market Visibility, Vendor Viability, Access to Markets, Market knowledge and Healthcare Industry Competence.

“All of the solutions offered for evaluation display some innovation that could shape the future of digital technologies, interoperability and enhanced healthcare delivery, but these top-rated 50 notably present structural contributions that are making a pivotal impact on tomorrow’s healthcare technology ecosystem,” said Brown.
