Some estimate that 90% of digital health startups will go bust or be ‘acqui-hired’ within a few years of being founded. If digital health represents the future of medicine and healthcare, it is important to understand why this is the case.
We decided to explore the anatomy of a good digital health company and found 5 common features.
We have just launched our new online course - Introduction to Artificial Intelligence In Medicine And Healthcare - after almost a year of work, covering everything you need to know about the upcoming AI revolution. The first reviews have already arrived, and they really made my heart sing!?
You can read about the curriculum in this article and it was also the topic of a live Q&A recently, if interested, the recording is here . The first 1.5 chapters are available for free, so you can give it a go and decide whether you wanted to dive deeper.
GE HealthCare just acquired Caption Health which makes AI applications to interpret ultrasound exams. We featured Caption Health in our Top 100 Digital Health and AI companies list in 2022.

"Belgian sleep-focused digital health startup Sunrise received FDA 510(k) clearance for its home sleep apnea test that's placed on a user's chin at night.
The test utilizes a sensor that analyzes bio-signals from mandibular jaw movements, which can help calculate respiratory disturbance often found in sleep apnea patients. It also evaluates airflow and oximetry during sleep. An AI-enabled app analyzes the data, which users can share with a healthcare provider via an online portal. "
I had been yearning to try continuous glucose monitoring for two reasons. First, I wanted to go through the process to have first-hand experience with how these tools can help patients living with diabetes.

Researchers now developed an inhalable powder that could protect lungs and airways from viral invasion. It has only been proven in studies with mice and non-human primates, but clinical trials could come soon too."
"The powder, called Spherical Hydrogel Inhalation for Enhanced Lung Defense, or SHIELD, reduced infection in both mouse and non-human primate models over a 24-hour period, and can be taken repeatedly without affecting normal lung function."
