A about trends and the Future Health lab from 4PM Ventures For at least 2-3 years, at my speeches at conferences on the topic of Healthtech, I have been telling that the future in medicine lies with platforms. Here are some cases: 1. Application of AI in medicine. First came startups who said: I recognize pneumonia, other tuberculosis, third lung cancer, etc. Clinics looked at all this and told them: it doesn't matter to us that you know how to recognize, a patient came to us, took an MRI (MR spectroscopy scans) or X-ray diagnostic, and we must reliably describe his state of health, and recognize real problems in his health. After that, startups appeared, which began to combine and make an interface between different startups in order to drive the picture to the largest number of nosologies. Other startups have begun mergers and acquisitions to create such platforms. You know the examples yourself, they are easy to google. 2. A more difficult task is faced by those who make medical devices. It is more difficult there: firstly, you need a "smart" medical card where to add the data. Secondly, integration with industry call centers, because clinics do not have their own, but you need to have a service for prompt response to incidents, and also do not forget about technical support (it is expensive to deploy it for one device) and much more. And so, after several attempts and experiments to enter the topic of collecting platforms from various startups, the 4PM Ventures team and I are launching the Future Health Lab, where one of the tasks we will try to create platforms. If your startup is in one of the laboratory segments, an investor and the topic of Healthtech platforms is close to you, or you are a representative of a corporation in the healthcare system, submit an application to the laboratory or write to your personal. #4PM; #4PMVentures; #health; #healthtech; #vc; #venturebuilder; #medicine; #innovation; #healthcare; #digitalhealth; #healthtech; #platforms; #healthdata; #homecare; #medicaldevices; #rehabtech
Platform businesses make up 7 of the 12 largest companies and over 60% of all unicorn companies in the world. They grow faster, reach higher profitability and deliver greater shareholder value. Yet, less than 15% of all digital health investment goes into platform businesses. With healthcare platforms representing a combined $1 trillion TAM, there is a massive missed opportunity for investors. But which markets present the greatest opportunity for investment?
