According to the 2020 Inc. 5,000 top-performing companies list, More than 100 digital health companies have met the growth-oriented inclusion criteria this year compared to less than 60 in 2019. This year-to-year revenue increase in featured companies makes sense considering record funding raised by digital health companies so far this year.
The self-reported data from these digital health companies is based on the percentage of change in annual revenue over three years, a methodology by Inc. that enables smaller and startups to claim a spot alongside larger companies.
The digital health sector’s financing activity was all-time high (since 2010) in the first half of 2020, despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Digital health companies raised $6.3 billion in the first half (1H) of 2020, compared to $5.5 billion in 1H 2019, a 24% increase year-over-year in the funding amount.
