Digital Health is re-inventing – and will solve – every problem in healthcare. Artificial intelligence will diagnose you before you get ill, autonomous robotic surgeons will operate on you and data will tell us everything that might go wrong with you before you’re even born. Five years ago this was the digital health hype. Arguably the hype is still high today, but we are seeing digital technologies now successfully making very real impacts in front-line healthcare. Digital health is real, and growing fast.

So what does successful digital health look like, and how does an investor view digital healthcare innovations? What does an investor look for in a digital health opportunity, and what makes ideas stand out? What are some of the challenges particular to this field, especially for academic-led innovations? What works and what doesn’t?
