After a record-breaking 2021, global digital health investment continues its slowdown in Q2’22.
Global digital health funding reached $7.1B in Q2’22 — down 32% from the previous quarter, continuing the decline from record highs in 2021. The decrease in funding and deals affected almost all sectors across digital health except for Health IT, mirroring the broader downtrend in venture funding.
