Healthcare Transformer Forecast for 2016

We surveyed founders from StartUp Health’s family of companies (120 and growing) about what they think is in store for 2016. Here’s what they said:

  • “Behavioral health will continue to rise in the scopes of investors. There’s a gold rush about to start because of a confluence of market factors…” 
    — ABPathfinder 

  • “Evidence-based technology, companies that are willing to go at risk for outcomes, and companies aligned with quality measurement standards will win in 2016.” 
    — Care at Hand 

  • “We’ll start to see the first wave of consolidation in telehealth / telemedicine, which will peak in 2018...” 
    — UnaliWear
