As a result, the healthcare technology sector is growing rapidly. An analysis of venture capital funding data from Rock Health’s Digital Health funding database indicates that venture funding for health tech innovators almost doubled from 2019 to 2020 at $14B. The natural progression into the digital age, further fueled by the virtual healthcare wave necessitated by COVID-19, has expedited this growth.

Cutting-edge technology is the future of healthcare and improvements are developing quicker than most practices can manage – and spend. While large scale health systems are embracing these new technologies, it’s an uphill battle for small to midsize practices with smaller budgets and fewer resources. In an age where consumers are demanding more from their medical professionals than ever before, it’s vital that all providers find a way to remain competitive.
Health technology research and development is more challenging for small to midsize medical practices with fewer resources – but they need to keep a competitive edge.
