Digital health investments in 2019 poised to surpass 2018: Rock Health

Investors continue to have a strong appetite for digital health with investment in the sector totaling $4.2 billion across 180 deals through the first half of 2019.

If this pace holds steady, the sector is on track to raise $8.4 billion in 2019 and could top 2018’s record-breaking annual funding total of $8.2 billion, according to Rock Health’s midyear report.

Just in the first six months of 2019, the digital health sector is close to surpassing the $4.6 billion in funding raised in 2016.
