While 2019 was a big year
for digital health globally, COVID-19 could well make 2020 the biggest yet.
According to Sara Spaventa
of Angellist:
"COVID-19 has put enormous
pressure on our global healthcare system, which is short-staffed, overwhelmed,
and lacking the resources necessary to support the rising number of confirmed
coronavirus cases. As a result, we're now turning to digital health companies
to play a vital, and virtual, role in safeguarding those stuck at home.
From aging populations, to
those with mental health conditions, to those suffering from chronic illness
(and everything in between), there is a growing list of digital health
companies that can improve or seek to improve
the care and self-management of patients from their homes."
