Key Insights

A first-of-a-kind study with 12,000+ ventures across 5 regional ecosystems have been analysed in this report to reveal that the growth of evidence for Clinical Strength is growing at a 5-year CAGR of 40%, or 4x the growth of new ventures. 

Ecosystem evaluation by Digital Health Clusters shows that over 35% of ventures with solutions in the top 2 clusters: Medical Diagnostics and Remote Devices, have established clinical evidence for their solutions, whereas other clusters, such as Health Services Search, have a single-digit share of ventures with established Clinical Strength, as they likely do not require such evidence.

Respiratory Diseases and Cardiovascular Diseases took the top spots for therapeutics areas with the highest share of ventures with established Clinical Strength, with 45% and 40% respectively.
