About Galen Growth
A decade of intelligence—and still moving digital health forward
Galen Growth is an active digital health intelligence company founded in Singapore. We bring structure, evidence, and comparability to a global market that continues to evolve.
The beginning
From fragmented information to a research foundation
In November 2015, Julien de Salaberry, Nawal Roy, Snehal Patel, Ronald Ling, and Jeremy Sun came together around a shared observation: healthcare leaders were being asked to make digital health decisions without a consistent market definition or dependable evidence base.
Galen Growth began operating in 2016. Its early work focused on defining the digital health ecosystem, classifying ventures consistently, and documenting investment, evidence, partnership, and market activity across regions.
