Today’s health care industry is marked by extraordinary transformation and opportunity. Health care delivery and reimbursement is shifting rapidly toward value-based care and vertical consolidation, while health systems, providers in many different specialties and other forward-thinking leaders are joining forces to tackle some of the sector’s largest challenges. Digital health solutions are evolving the doctor-patient relationship beyond in-person encounters, fundamentally transforming the quality and delivery of health care – and investors are taking notice.
