We recently had the privilege of hosting over two dozen digital health executives from major healthcare organizations across the world for our virtual Spring Member Retreat. While representing a diverse set of organizations (provider, payer, biopharma, retail, tech) and roles (innovation, corp dev, venture), each retreat attendee shared one important characteristic—a passion for driving digital innovation within their organization. Rock Health Member Retreats are designed to be interactive, candid conversations that foster community building and generate ideas for enterprise digital innovation initiatives. And the timing of the retreat couldn’t have been any better.

Digital health has been a promising, growing space over the past decade. And with the pandemic putting new demands on the healthcare system, demand for digitally-enabled care and services spiked overnight. Even as a light has emerged at the end of the pandemic tunnel, momentum toward digital health shows no signs of slowing down. Over $14B was invested across 2020 in private US digital health companies, a number likely to be dwarfed by 2021 investment, with $6.7B already put to work in Q1 2021. With plenty of funding in tow, more companies are on their way to advancing the promise of digital transformation and achieving meaningful scale.
