The Digital Health 50 is CB Insights’ annual ranking of the 50 most promising private companies in the digital health space. These leaders are driving innovation in virtual care, health IT, biotechnology, and life sciences. You can see last year’s cohort here.
Applications are now open for our fifth annual Digital Health 50.
There will be two phases of the application process:
Submit before 11:59pm ET, September 15, 2023.
If selected, complete our Analyst Briefing Survey
Please submit basic information about your company through the initial application form before 11:59pm ET, September 15, 2023. Our analysts will then review and determine whether they are interested in learning more about your company. All companies moving forward in the process will be notified by October.
If selected, you will be asked to complete our Analyst Briefing Survey so our analysts can better understand your products, customers, and market traction.
Submit your customer references
After completing our Analyst Briefing Survey, we will contact you about connecting our analyst team with your customer references in order to learn more about your company.
Process & Eligibility
All private companies working on digital healthcare technologies — from digital therapeutics and advanced hospital solutions to interoperability and drug discovery — are eligible to submit. If your company is private upon submitting the application, but later goes public or is acquired (or announces intentions to do so), you will no longer be eligible for the list.
Our research team selects the 50 companies based on several factors, including products and services, financial status and health, sales model and go-to-market approach, company details, management team and leadership, total addressable market, value proposition, packaging and pricing, brand and marketing, and commercial outcomes.
The process is data-informed, using data gathered via our machine learning technology, as well as submissions filed via the application form.
For any questions, please contact awards@cbinsights.com.
