According to the 2016 Q1 medical investment report released by communications research company Mercom, medical IT venture capital reached $1.4 billion. Compared with the $1.1 billion in the fourth quarter of last year, it increased by 27% year-on-year and 74% quarter-on-quarter.
1. The biggest winner: wearable, data analysis and telemedicine
According to mobihealthnews, Mercom co-founder and CEO Raj Prabhu said that wearables, data analytics and telemedicine companies have performed well, especially in the latter two categories, which have so far received more than $1 billion in financing. At the same time, however, the performance of medical listed companies is still relatively unsatisfactory.
Moreover, consumer-oriented companies also performed better than enterprise-oriented companies, with the former trading at 97 and receiving $796 million in financing; the latter with only 49, reaching $569 million in transactions.
In medical IT risk financing, wearables still dominated, with a $260 million financing alone, followed by data analysis companies and telemedicine companies, with $197 million and $171 million, respectively. Mobile medical and consumer-oriented medical information education companies also received $120 million and $100 million in financing, respectively.
