NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CB Insights today named Seqster to its third annual Digital Health 150, which showcases the 150 most promising private digital health companies in the world. This year's Digital Health 150 was unveiled live during CB Insights' annual Future of Health event.

The 2021 Digital Health 150 cohort has raised roughly $14.9B in aggregate funding across 522 deals since 2016, and includes startups at various investment stages of development, from early-stage to well-funded unicorns. Companies this year include startups working on data integration & analytics, hybrid virtual / in-person care, digital therapeutics, clinical intelligence, and more.

"This year's Digital Health 150 is one of our most expansive yet, spotlighting 16 categories including virtual care, clinical trials tech, and workflow automation, as well as adding new categories such as home health tech and computer-aided imaging," said Brian Lee, SVP of CB Insights' Intelligence Unit. "Last year's class has seen more than 20 exits, raised an additional $18.6B in aggregate funding, and announced over 250 partnerships since being recognized, and we're excited to see the future success of this year's winners."

"While we are incredibly honored to have been selected as one of the top digital health companies in the world, the real credit goes to the patients who have been with us on our journey to pioneer patient-centric health data interoperability, said Ardy Arianpour, CEO & Co-Founder of Seqster." At no other time in history has it been more evident than during the COVID-19 pandemic that health data is medicine. Seqster provides its life science and healthcare enterprise partners with solutions to break down data silos in real-time while impacting patient lives at scale. 2022 will undoubtedly be an instrumental year for us as we continue to lead with our innovative patient-centric solutions."

Through an evidence-based approach, the CB Insights research team selected the Digital Health 150 from a pool of over 11,000 companies, including applicants and nominees. They were chosen based on several factors, including data submitted by the companies, company business models and momentum in the market, and Mosaic scores, CB Insights' proprietary algorithm that measures the overall health and growth potential of private companies.
