Fierce Healthcare unveiled its seventh annual Fierce 15 earlier this month, introducing the 2025 class of 15 companies bringing innovation and bold ideas to healthcare. Executive Editor Heather Landi and Senior Writer Paige Minemyer sit down to chat about the evolution of the Fierce 15 project over the past seven years, how it has become more competitive and how the virtual care boom during the COVID-19 pandemic ushered in a new generation of companies. Telehealth seemed novel in 2019 but has now become mainstream.

Paige and Heather also dive into Fierce Healthcare’s collaboration this year with the New York Stock Exchange and Senior Writer Anastassia Gliadkovskaya’s interview with NYSE TV on the trading floor. What companies will make the list next year and what trends will define the market? Stay tuned next year for the 2026 class of the Fierce 15.
