Key Insights

  • Operations & Workflow leads adoption: Healthcare operations is the primary entry point for AI, capturing the largest share of ventures and funding driven by measurable ROI and procurement readiness. Healthcare Operations & Workflow captures 49% of all Health Management Solutions ventures globally and 46% of health-system partnerships in the cluster.
  • AI is now core infrastructure: AI-powered ventures captured $4.4B—representing 83% of all Health Management Solutions venture funding in 2025—supported by accelerating FDA clearances.
  • Scaled platforms are pulling ahead: The market is rapidly consolidating; 25% of older ventures have exited, and M&A remains highly active as buyers seek enterprise-ready platforms. 21% of older ventures are inactive, M&A activity holds steady at 37–41 deals per year, and average deal size has tripled from $11.9M (Q1 2022) to $35.4M (Q1 2026).
  • Regional strategies must diverge: North America dominates in scale, Europe differentiates through clinical intelligence, and Asia Pacific represents the fastest-growing greenfield opportunity. The United States hosts 41% of global ventures and recorded $4.5B of 2025 funding (1.8x YoY); Europe holds 23% with Clinical Decision Intelligence taking 47% of regional capital; Asia Pacific funding surged +87% YoY in 2025.
  • Partnerships are fewer but deeper: Overall partnership volume declined as health systems shifted away from exploratory pilots in favour of enterprise-scale deployments with selected vendors. Partnership volume fell 25% from 846 in 2024 to 636 in 2025, while health-system partnerships specifically dropped from a 2024 peak of 247 to 165 — a clear signal of selective enterprise procurement.
