$23B invested in digital health. What’s the impact?
After seven years, $23B has been invested in thousands of digital health companies. But what has been the real-world impact? Though headlines often focus on the dollars a company raises, that’s ultimately the wrong metric of success in healthcare. In an effort to shift the digital health dialogue toward real-world outcomes, we've debuted the Impact Project.
