Trends in Health Tech Investment

Investment in health tech has evolved significantly over the past five years, particularly catalyzed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many sectors, such as retail and advertising, have experienced extensive digitization, whereas healthcare was slower to adapt, often relying on traditional methods. The pandemic forced a rapid adoption of technologies like virtual appointments, reshaping attitudes toward tech in healthcare and leading to a surge in investment from both specialist and general investors. In particular, during the peak of the pandemic, there was substantial funding directed towards teleconsultation and digital care, and while investments have tapered, they are now stabilizing at levels comparable to pre-pandemic times, signaling ongoing opportunities in the sector.
