MobiHealthNews asked executives from across the digital health landscape to look into their crystal balls and closely examine how digital health investments will materialize in 2025.

The execs highlighted how AI and data, return on investment, sustainability, merger and acquisition activity, and the administration’s choices for HHS, CMS, and the FDA may influence the everchanging funding environment. ai chart

  • Amit Khanna, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Health at Salesforce: “In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital health, funding is expected to increase significantly, particularly in the areas of AI and data. Companies within the health tech industry are poised to revolutionize traditional business processes by leveraging AI technology to drive efficiency and improve patient engagement through innovative modalities.”

  • Neil Patel, Head of New Ventures at Redesign Health: “I’m tracking early indicators of a new wave in seed and pre-seed funding, particularly around AI applications. The interesting shift is in capital efficiency – these startups are leveraging AI tools to achieve what previously required millions in development costs.”

  • Ellen Rudolph, Cofounder and CEO of WellTheory: “Investors will begin making bets on women’s health outside of just reproductive health… Despite making up half of the population and driving the vast majority of healthcare decisions, just 3% of digital health funding was focused on women’s health between 2011 and 2020.”

  • Don Woodlock, Head of Global Healthcare Solutions at InterSystems: “AI-washing will be called out, and companies with vague AI strategies will struggle to secure funding.”

  • Anu Sharma, Founder and CEO of Millie: “I think 2025 will be a bit of a ‘wait and see’ year… We may even see an IPO for Maven.”

  • Tamar Samuels, Cofounder and VP of Culina Health: “We spend a lot of time with our investors… We are confident in Culina Health’s positioning to be able to secure more financing when appropriate due to continued growth and reduction in opex spending.”

  • Karl Ulfers, CEO and Cofounder of DUOS: “The digital health market will improve due to increased privatization and a decrease in the headwinds that payers have to navigate.”

  • Brooke Boyarsky Pratt, CEO and Cofounder of Knownwell: “I’d expect funding markets to continue to improve as economic uncertainty reduces.”

  • Hal Andrews, President and CEO of Trilliant Health: “The digital health sector has seen more than its share of failures in the past three years… The history of venture capital suggests that a sector that undergoes numerous failures falls out of favor with investors.”

  • Dan Nardi, CEO of Reimagine Care: “Return on investment and sustainability will continue to be a focus for digital health companies in 2025.”
