  • Silicon Valley London Woodside Capital Partners (WCP)
    Silicon Valley London Woodside Capital Partners (WCP) proudly releases the inaugural healthcare report “State of Digital Health”. In 2016, healthcare cost in the US was $3.3 Trillion – 17.9% of GDP, passing $10,000 per capita mark for the first time ever. According to CMS, by 2026, the figure is projected to grow to $5.7 Trillion – 19.8% of GDP. The answer to curbing and reversing the trend with respect to healthcare costs lies in large part to the movement towards Digital Health, or ‘Health Tech’. The proliferation of devices and applications across the healthcare spectrum has led to a data tsunami – the “what”. Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and overall Big Data analytics are leading to real-time actionable insights – the “so what”. We have entered the realm of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), with ubiquitous connectivity and measurement of everything from our vitals and nutrition to physical activity and medical compliance. We are just starting to leverage that data in a meaningful way and seeing early impact on health and well-being. In 2017, venture investments in Digital Health startups exceeded $6 Billion for the first time, and the trend seems to be accelerating with $1.6 Billion invested in Q1, 2018. The juxtaposition of rising healthcare costs and increased Digital Health investments is not all that surprising. Advances in underlying real-time analytics and potential of leading edge innovations around genomics are turning the perceived fiction of personalized medicine into a real possibility. Foundational disruptions such as Blockchain, while relatively nascent, are creating excitement (and some anxiety) around secure, immutable data sharing across silos – with healthcare as the ideal use case.
