SUMMARY

We have analyzed every publicly disclosed equity round raised by pure-play digital health companies between June 2025 and May 2026, a 12-month window covering every geography. We only kept rounds of $300K or more, excluded debt-only financings, M&A, IPO proceeds, generic enterprise IT, consumer wellness without a health use case, and biotech or lab R&D tools unless they directly powered care delivery or clinical decision-making.

Over this period, fundraising in the digital health market was active but highly selective. The dataset includes 30 disclosed equity deals, 29 unique companies, and $1.89B of disclosed capital raised.

Capital in the digital health market is concentrated around a small set of winners. The top deal alone represents 15.88% of all capital, the top 3 deals reach 41.98%, and the top 10 deals reach 82.58%.

The median round size in the digital health market is $21.75M, while the average round size is $62.97M. That gap shows how much large AI and infrastructure rounds pull up the headline number.

Deal flow averaged 2.5 rounds per month across the 12-month period. Capital raised averaged $157.4M per month, but the market was spiky because June and July 2025 alone produced several of the largest financings.

Clinical Workflow Software is the leading category in the digital health market. It accounts for 12 of 30 deals and $942.6M raised, equal to 40.00% of deal count and 49.90% of disclosed capital.

Health Data Infrastructure is smaller by deal count but much heavier by check size. It represents only 10.00% of deals but 24.84% of capital, mostly because trusted medical knowledge and decision-support platforms attracted very large rounds.

North America dominates the digital health market structurally. It captures 26 of 30 deals and $1.66B raised, equal to 86.67% of deal count and 87.71% of disclosed capital.

The digital health market looks numerically early-stage but financially late-stage. Seed and Series A rounds represent 63.33% of deals, yet they capture only 16.41% of capital.

Follow-on financings dominate the visible digital health dataset. First financings appear only in a few Seed rounds, while most large checks went to companies that had already proven adoption, workflow relevance, or enterprise deployment.

OUR METHODOLOGY TO BUILD THIS TRACKER

We built this digital health funding tracker by reviewing every publicly disclosed equity round raised by pure-play digital health companies between June 2025 and May 2026. A company counts as pure-play when more than 80% of its activity is dedicated to products or services that use digital technology to deliver, support, or improve health care and health outcomes.

We applied four filters to build the dataset. First, we only included equity rounds, so grants, debt-only rounds, IPO proceeds, M&A, and revenue financing are excluded. Second, we only counted rounds of $300K or more. Third, we only kept pure-play digital health companies. And fourth, every entry had to be confirmed by a direct company announcement, a press release, or a tier-1 media report, with the source URL preserved for every row.

We included telehealth and virtual care, remote monitoring and connected devices, health IT and clinical workflow software, and patient-facing mobile apps when they are health-focused. We excluded generic enterprise IT, purely consumer fitness or wellness products with no health use case, and biotech or lab R&D tools unless they directly power care delivery or clinical decision-making. The final dataset contains 30 disclosed deals across 29 unique companies, and every average, median, share, and concentration ratio is computed on that disclosed sample. Privately raised rounds that were never publicly announced are necessarily missing, which is a known limitation of any public-only digital health funding tracker.

How active has fundraising been in the digital health market?

As of May 2026, fundraising in the digital health market has been active, but not evenly distributed. Over the past 12 months, companies raised 30 disclosed equity rounds and $1.89B combined, which works out to 2.5 deals per month.

The digital health market produced 29 unique funded companies, so the activity was not just a single company raising repeatedly. Still, only OpenEvidence appears twice in the dataset, which makes repeat-company concentration much lower than capital concentration.

Capital raised per month averaged $157.4M, while the median month was $104.6M. That difference matters because several very large rounds in June and July 2025 make the average look stronger than the normal month.

Excluding rounds above $50M reduces total disclosed capital from $1.89B to $374M. That means the digital health market’s funding boom is mostly a scale-up story, not a broad surge in ordinary early-stage financings.

How concentrated has fundraising been in the digital health market?

As of May 2026, fundraising in the digital health market is highly concentrated around a small number of large rounds. Over the past 12 months, the single largest deal accounts for 15.88% of all capital, the top 3 deals reach 41.98%, and the top 5 reach 61.04%.

The biggest financings are Abridge at $300M, OpenEvidence at $250M, Ambience Healthcare at $243M, OpenEvidence again at $210M, and Aidoc at $150M. Together, they explain most of the market-level dollar narrative.

This concentration changes how the digital health market should be read. A headline about total capital raised is really a headline about a few companies that proved clinical workflow value, clinician usage, or enterprise deployment.

The top 10 deals represent 82.58% of all disclosed capital. Before calling the whole digital health market hot, it is worth asking whether the growth is broad or simply concentrated around a few scaled AI platforms.

How much of the digital health funding signal is driven by outliers?

As of May 2026, a large share of the digital health funding signal is driven by outliers. Over the past 12 months, 9 of 30 deals were above $50M, but those rounds represent $1.515B, or 80.20% of total disclosed capital.

The deal count is not dominated by megarounds, but the dollar total is. Rounds above $50M are only 30.00% of activity, which means most companies still raised smaller venture rounds.

The median round size is $21.75M, while the average is $62.97M. That gap is a simple warning: the average digital health round should not be treated as the typical digital health round.

Rounds above $100M are even more selective. They account for 7 deals, or 23.33% of all deals, but they drive the category narrative because they include Abridge, OpenEvidence, Ambience Healthcare, Hippocratic AI, Tennr, and Aidoc.

Is the digital health market broad with many targets, or narrow with few fundable companies?

As of May 2026, the digital health market is broad at the formation level but narrow at the scale-financing level. Over the past 12 months, the dataset includes 29 unique companies, but most capital pools around a small number of proven platforms.

The 30 deals cover several categories, including clinical workflow software, virtual care platforms, care navigation platforms, patient engagement tools, and health data infrastructure. That shows real breadth across use cases.

But the capital distribution is much narrower than the company count. The top 5 deals capture 61.04% of disclosed dollars, and the top 10 deals capture 82.58%, which means only a minority of companies set the market’s financial tone.

The digital health market is therefore best read as a broad funnel with a narrow scale-up layer. Many companies can raise, but only a few can command late-stage or megaround-sized checks.

Is digital health mostly an early-stage formation market or a late-stage scaling market?

As of May 2026, the digital health market is numerically early-stage but financially late-stage. Over the past 12 months, Seed and Series A rounds represent 63.33% of deals, but they capture only 16.41% of capital.

Series A is the busiest stage in the digital health market, with 15 of 30 deals. Yet those Series A rounds add up to only $276.5M, or 14.64% of disclosed capital.

Later-stage rounds carry the dollar weight. Series B and later, plus Growth Equity, account for $1.579B, or 83.59% of all disclosed capital in the digital health market.

This split suggests investors are still creating new digital health companies, but the biggest checks go to businesses that already show enterprise adoption, health-system proof, or repeatable clinical usage.

Which categories attract the most investor attention in digital health?

As of May 2026, Clinical Workflow Software attracts the most investor attention in digital health. Over the past 12 months, the category accounts for 12 of 30 deals and $942.6M raised.

That gives Clinical Workflow Software 40.00% of deal count and 49.90% of total disclosed capital. It is the only category that leads both by number of rounds and by dollars raised.

The category includes documentation, coding, scheduling, referrals, prior authorization, finance operations, and imaging triage. These are not generic AI products; they target specific clinical or administrative bottlenecks.

Virtual Care Platforms rank second by deal count with 6 deals, while Health Data Infrastructure ranks second by capital with $469.3M. That split shows that investor attention is not one-dimensional: some categories produce many rounds, while others produce fewer but much larger checks.

Which categories attract disproportionately large checks in the digital health market?

As of May 2026, Health Data Infrastructure attracts the most disproportionately large checks in the digital health market. Over the past 12 months, the category captured only 10.00% of deals but 24.84% of capital.

The capital share to deal share ratio for Health Data Infrastructure is 2.48, the highest in the dataset. That is mainly because OpenEvidence raised $210M in July 2025 and $250M in January 2026.

Clinical Workflow Software also over-indexes, with a capital share to deal share ratio of 1.25. This confirms that investors are willing to pay more for digital health products embedded inside provider workflows and operational economics.

Patient Engagement Tools under-index with a ratio of 0.43. The category still gets funded, but the digital health market gives larger checks to infrastructure and workflow software than to standalone engagement products.

Which geographies matter most for fundraising in the digital health market?

As of May 2026, North America matters most for fundraising in the digital health market. Over the past 12 months, North American companies raised 26 of 30 disclosed deals and $1.66B of capital.

That equals 86.67% of deal count and 87.71% of disclosed capital. The region is not only larger by dollars; it is also structurally larger by number of funded companies.

Asia-Pacific appears in 3 deals and $82.2M of disclosed capital. Its average round size is $27.4M, meaning the region is visible but not yet competing with North America on scale.

The Middle East appears through Aidoc’s $150M round. That single financing gives the region 7.94% of capital, but only 3.33% of deal count, so the regional signal is fragile.

Is the digital health opportunity set broad or concentrated in one hub?

As of May 2026, the digital health opportunity set is heavily concentrated in North America. Over the past 12 months, North America holds 87.71% of disclosed capital and 86.67% of disclosed deals.

Asia-Pacific is present but smaller. It contributes 10.00% of deals and 4.35% of capital, with Everlab, Reveal HealthTech, and Heidi Health representing the region in the dataset.

The Middle East is visible only because of Aidoc’s $150M round. One large deal can make a region look meaningful in capital terms even when the underlying company count is thin.

Europe, Latin America, and Africa do not appear in the high-confidence disclosed dataset under the filters used here. That does not mean no digital health activity exists there, but it does mean it did not surface as a dominant public equity-funding signal in this sample.

Is digital health a market of small experiments or scaled financings?

As of May 2026, digital health is a market with many modest rounds and a small set of scaled financings. Over the past 12 months, 14 of 30 deals were between $5M and $20M, while 9 deals were above $50M.

There were no disclosed rounds in the $0.3M to $5M bucket. That likely reflects public-announcement bias, because very small digital health financings are less likely to receive first-hand or tier-1 coverage.

The $50M threshold is the key breakpoint. Rounds above that level are only 30.00% of deals but account for 80.20% of disclosed capital, so scaled financings define the market’s dollar direction.

The median round size is $21.75M, which is much closer to an ordinary venture round than to the biggest megarounds. The average of $62.97M should therefore be read as an outlier-inflated number.

Who are the investors that appear the most in digital health fundraising?

As of May 2026, Andreessen Horowitz and GV are the most visible repeat investors in digital health fundraising. Over the past 12 months, each appears across several of the largest or most strategically important rounds in the dataset.

Andreessen Horowitz appears in Abridge, Ambience Healthcare, Fortuna Health, Counsel Health, and Tennr. That gives it exposure to clinical workflow, care navigation, and AI-enabled healthcare front-door models.

GV appears in OpenEvidence, Counsel Health, Tennr, and Translucent. Its repeat presence suggests a clear preference for healthcare AI tied to clinician knowledge, patient access, and health-system operations.

Kleiner Perkins and Thrive Capital are visible through OpenEvidence and Ambience-type infrastructure or workflow bets. Optum Ventures appears across Reema Health, Ambience Healthcare, and Amigo AI, which points to payer and care-delivery relevance.

One important caveat: round announcements rarely disclose how much each investor personally contributed. The digital health market publishes total round sizes, so investor presence should be read as syndicate participation, not exact dollars committed.

INSIGHTS

The insights below come from reviewing every disclosed equity round in the digital health market between June 2025 and May 2026. They are not row-by-row summaries. They are the reusable patterns that kept showing up across the 30-deal dataset, and they are meant to stay useful when reading any future digital health funding announcement.

  • The digital health market is no longer broad digital health in the 2021 sense. The strongest funding signal is healthcare AI applied to operational and clinical bottlenecks. Clinical Workflow Software alone accounts for 40.00% of deals and 49.90% of capital.
  • Capital concentration is the first rule for reading this market. The top 5 deals absorb 61.04% of all dollars, so any market-level narrative must separately explain Abridge, OpenEvidence, Ambience Healthcare, Aidoc, and Hippocratic AI.
  • The median round is $21.75M, while the average is $62.97M. That means the typical funded company is still raising a modest venture round, even though the market headline looks like a megaround boom.
  • Health Data Infrastructure has only 10.00% of deals but 24.84% of dollars. Investors are treating trusted medical knowledge infrastructure as a platform-scale category, not as a normal point-solution layer.
  • OpenEvidence is the clearest single-company signal in the dataset. It raised twice in the period and represents $460M, or 24.35% of all disclosed capital. That is a category-level conviction signal, not just a company-level event.
  • The most investable healthcare AI products are not general-purpose chatbots. They are tools with a named workflow, such as documentation, coding, referrals, prior authorization, scheduling, or imaging triage.
  • The dataset shows a workflow-before-autonomy funding logic. Most dollars went to systems that augment or automate bounded tasks inside provider operations, while fully patient-facing virtual-care autonomy attracted fewer and smaller rounds.
  • Investor preference is stronger for products embedded in provider economics than for simple patient engagement. Clinical Workflow Software has a capital-share to deal-share ratio of 1.25, while Patient Engagement Tools sits at 0.43.
  • Care Navigation Platforms remain useful and fundable, but they do not receive the largest valuation signals. The category shows steady Series A, B, and C activity, yet it does not match AI infrastructure on check size.
  • Early-stage deals are numerically dominant, but late-stage checks control the market. Seed and Series A rounds are 63.33% of deals, yet they capture only 16.41% of capital.
  • Series A represents half of all observed deals, but only 14.64% of capital. The digital health market is a barbell: many formation-stage bets and a handful of expensive scale-up winners.
  • The largest rounds cluster around provider pain points with obvious ROI. Documentation burden, coding, referrals, financial operations, prior authorization, and imaging triage are budget-line problems, not speculative wellness concepts.
  • The absence of Remote Monitoring Solutions in the high-confidence dataset is notable. Remote monitoring may still be active operationally, but it did not surface as a dominant venture theme under these filters.
  • North America’s dominance is structural, not just financial. The region has 87.71% of capital and 86.67% of deals, which means the dataset is U.S.-heavy across both dollars and company formation.
  • Asia-Pacific is present but much smaller in check size. It has 10.00% of deals and only 4.35% of capital, which suggests lower average scale than North American peers.
  • Aidoc makes the Middle East look larger than its deal count supports. The region has only one deal, but that $150M round creates a visible capital share. Geography conclusions outside North America should therefore be treated carefully.
  • The market rewards clinical-grade claims only when they come with distribution proof. Large rounds often cite health-system customers, clinician usage, FDA clearances, or deployment scale rather than model capability alone.
  • AI scribe and documentation workflows are becoming infrastructure rather than features. Abridge, Ambience, Nabla, Heidi, and related tools show that documentation automation is now a core competitive battlefield in digital health.
  • The strongest investor signal is not simply AI in healthcare. It is AI attached to reimbursement, capacity, or clinician time. Companies tied to concrete cost centers attracted larger and more repeatable funding.
  • The market discounts pure patient engagement unless it has a clinical, payer, or provider integration wedge. Patient Engagement Tools account for 13.33% of deals but only 5.80% of capital.
  • The $50M threshold is the key structural breakpoint. Rounds above $50M are only 30.00% of deals but represent 80.20% of total capital, so the apparent boom is mostly a scale-up financing story.
  • Future digital health companies should be evaluated less by whether they use AI and more by whether they control a scarce evidence loop. Clinician usage, workflow data, payer authorization data, imaging clearances, and patient navigation outcomes matter more than generic model claims.
