Digital health funding shifts from consumer apps to clinical-grade platforms

The composition of digital-health funding rounds in 2025 looks markedly different from the consumer-app frenzy of 2021. Allocators are now overweighting clinical-grade software — EHRs, decision support, and revenue-cycle automation — over direct-to-consumer wellness apps.

Founders pitching today are expected to show real hospital contracts, defensible workflows, and a credible path to embedding inside clinician workflows rather than around them.
