A Defining Moment for Digital Behavioral Health- FOUR MARKET TRENDS. Presentation by Megan Zweig, Rock Health, for mHealth Israel, March 24, 2021. 2020 was the biggest year yet for digital behavioral health companies, exceeding the previous record set in 2018 in deal count, funding, and average deal size.
TREND #1:
Investors are supporting early- and latestage innovation, though an increasing amount of capital is being put to work in later-stage deals to ensure mature products can scale to meet urgent demand.
Though most behavioral health funding has gone to larger, later-stage rounds, most deals have been early-stage. While the average deal size for early-stage deals has held relatively constant, the average deal size for later-stage deals has doubled in size over the past five years.
TREND #2:
There’s room for both generalist and specialist models to meet high and diverse behavioral health demand.
Amwell is the top-funded company supporting behavioral health and other conditions; Lyra is the top-funded startup exclusively focused on behavioral health. “Generalist" companies led the pack in 2020 with $1.6B in funding, while $804.3M was raised by startups exclusively focused on behavioral health (“specialists”). Five “generalist” companies have gone public; in 2021, TalkSpace will be the first company exclusively focused on behavioral health to go public,
TREND #3:
Consolidation for clinical and digital capabilities has sped up and will likely continue.
There were nine digital behavioral health M&A deals in 2020, far exceeding the amount from any previous year.
TREND #4:
The relatively low flow of capital to SUDs and developmental disorders compared to mental health signals an opportunity for
innovators and investors.
Startups exclusively focused on mental health have seen more funding and deals than those focused on substance use disorders and developmental disorders.

Keynote presentation at the Digital Transformation of Pharmaceutical Industry conference organised by United Journal and Conferences on April 13th 2021
Healthcare executives maintain a relatively positive outlook for the upcoming year. The majority remain optimistic, expecting similar growth to last year in revenue, prices, volume and capital spending. Many other non-financial trends within the industry are also seen as having a beneficial impact on consumers and the quality of care being delivered.
For one, trends around Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) are increasing from last year, with a general optimism about the impact, especially on the industry side, for efficiency and revenue. About three-quarters of executives also believe that increased M&A may result in a greater focus on care (over business administration.)
Second, most executives anticipate a continued--and increasing--reliance on technology that should improve quality and reduce costs. But with higher stakes, the challenge will be how to seamlessly incorporate technology industry-wide without compromising security.
Despite the optimistic tone, however, healthcare costs continue to be an untenable uphill battle for consumers, with no improvement over last year. Executives perceive that these overwhelming costs are damaging care and that many consumers may be sacrificing care to save money. Many executives claim they are working to figure out ways to alleviate this problem. In addition, executives are more open to government involvement with regulating the industry, but there is very little consensus on how to measure success and utilize outcomes.

Health Systems Share COVID-19 Financial Recovery Strategies in First Client H...Health Catalyst
More than 100 attendees joined the first of a series of Health Catalyst virtual client huddles designed to support client partners and aid collaboration and direct client connections in this time of unprecedented change. According to an April 2020 survey of Health Catalyst clients, 72.6 percent said they had a strong interest in examples, guidance, and tools from other health systems. In the client-only session, insights shared included the most common COVID-19 analytic projects and one health system’s elective surgery plan.
The health system shared the challenges they faced in understanding the financial impact of halting elective surgeries as well as creating a plan for working through their backlog. They also shared the tools and strategies they are using to aid their financial recovery.
Digital Health Funding For The 50+ market - 2014 Q3 YTDSanjay Khurana
While investment in the 50+ market accounts for 44% ($2.2B) of the overall YTD investment in Digital Health
($5.0B), it is estimated that 50+ focused companies comprise only 12% ($269M) of that subset. For consumers
who spend $1.6 trillion on healthcare, this represents an unmet need for innovation and opportunity for growth.
Four Strategies Drive High-Value Healthcare Analytics for COVID-19 RecoveryHealth Catalyst
COVID-19 response and recovery is pushing healthcare to operate at an unprecedented level. To meet these demands and continue to improve outcomes and lower costs, healthcare analytics must perform more actionably and with broader organizational impact than ever. Health systems can follow four strategies to produce high-value analytics to withstand the pandemic and make healthcare better in the long term:
Minimize benchmarking.
Outsource regulatory reporting.
Grow risk-based stratification capabilities.
Run activity-based costing plus at-risk contracting.

Global State of Digital Health, Q3 2022, prepared by Finn Partners and Galen Growth.
While most analyses suggest digital health investment is declining, that’s a superficial assessment. Last year – when patients were separated from the health professional community – investors from all sectors jumped in with investments to learn and save their business models. That investment surge was from exuberance. Now, the monies being deployed are strategic. More important, 2022 numbers are far higher than the pre-pandemic equity invested in 2019.
While more than 60% of the total venture funding value comes from North America, on a regional level, the Middle East (primarily Israel by 92% and the United Arab Emirates) set record highs in venture funding in Q2 2022. Europe maintains momentum throughout 2022 and has not experienced the quarter-on-quarter decrease in venture funding seen in North America. Regions with increased investment correspond to established regulatory, public health and payer systems that prioritize digital health use. Israel – and Israeli-based entrepreneurs – need to keep their profiles high.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

THE APPLE WATCH LAUNCH
In March 2015, we saw the highly anticipated debut of the Apple Watch.
Even as some sources reported that the Watch’s health capabilities were
scaled down from original plans, a rush of companies debuted Watch Apps,
including WebMD, Doximity, Medisafe, drchrono, Humetrix, and more. What
we can’t figure out is why there’s so little fuss about Microsoft and
Samsung’s sensor-heavy wristbands.
ANALYTICS ON THE MOVE
In April, IBM’s newly established Watson Health Unit acquired analytics
companies Explorys and Phytel. The following month, IBM-funded Welltok
acquired Predilytics presumably to add another layer of analytics
to Welltok’s highly personalized CafeWell platform. All in all, at least one
major player is angling for the lead in a much-hyped segment of
Health 2.0.
FHIR: IS IT REAL?
We’ve been swept up in the FHIR maelstrom. The jury is still out as to
whether or not the sexy new API standard will catalyze data exchange like
its champions describe, but the issues of interoperability and openness are
primed for center stage. A pointed ONC report on information blocking,
released in April, and Project Argonaut, which is rallying resources around
FHIR, both helped build momentum for real action here.
MONEY, MONEY, MONEY: SUCCESSFUL IPOS (FOR A CHANGE)
This quarter saw several successful IPOs, which was a nice change of pace
from other lackluster debuts. Fitbit raised $732M, the biggest consumer
electronics IPO on record, and Evolent also enjoyed a jump on opening day.
We expect Teladoc will be the next to step up to the plate and all its
competitors (American Well, MDLive, Doctor on Demand) raised significant
amounts this quarter.

4. HEALTH 2.0 QUARTERLY REPORT :: Q2 2015
NEW ENTRANTS continue to find their way into the Health 2.0
playing field often either with big names or big bucks. This quarter
was no different with a few flashy debuts, highlighted here.
New Kids On The Block: Baby, I Believe In You
David Ebersman, Facebook’s former CFO, launched a new
digital health business called Lyra Health. Funded by himself
and Venrock, Lyra will offer software and services designed to
identify patients that need mental health services, coordinate
initial screenings for them, and match patients with the ideal
care team and best treatments for their condition. The “online
mental health” space is crowded, but the services aspect of
Lyra may help set it apart.
Catalia Health launched with $1.25 million in funding from Khosla
Ventures to commercialize a robot called“Mabu”that provides
information and support for sufferers of chronic diseases like
diabetes, arthritis, cancer, and heart disease. Catalia is banking on
the psychology of interaction and as we’ve seen with other avatars
and robots at Health 2.0 conferences past, it may be a solid bet.

FUNDING FOR THE HEALTH 2.0 space has
slowed with mid-year totals amounting to $2.2
billion. A sizable $200M bump from Allscripts’
investment in NantHealth on the last day of the
quarter notwithstanding, that number is quite a
bit smaller than last year’s $2.9 billion Q2 sum.
Summertime and the Livin’s…Not So Easy: Funding Slows in 2015
Funding in 2015 hasn’t kept pace with 2014 but there’s no reason to panic.
Early 2014 saw some blockbuster deals (Proteus, Flatiron, Nant, Ability
Networks all closed >$100M) that drove totals up, but the number of deals in
2015 is tracking closely with 2014. This year has also seen a few successful
IPOs, which do not reflect in these sums, but are a positive sign for the
industry. Finally, it doesn’t close the gap, but we include Zenefits’monster
$500M round in our sum. It doesn’t look like a pure Health 2.0 company, but
cloud-based health benefits management is solidly within our world.

CONSUMER FACING
THE CONSUMER FACING category dominated funding in
early 2015 (thanks, Zenefits—which counts as Consumer
Facing because even though they sell to employers, the end
users are consumers) with the Professional Facing category
following behind, but note that in Q2 Patient-Provider
Communication jumped Data, Analytics, & Exchange.

TOP 10 FUNDING DEALS OF Q2 2015
This quarter’s top deals are a continuation of a major trend Health 2.0
identified earlier this year: the rise of the new consumer in health care.
Each Consumer Facing deal listed here serves the consumer in a
different way from home diagnostics, to consumer-centered insurance,
wellness at work, and an improved medication experience. Even DoD’s
big raise is a nod to the new ways consumers can engage with the
health care system. We expect to see more funding flow towards
consumer-centric technologies (as always), but don’t forget, analytics
had an active quarter , which may continue into Q3.

Remember: products are not companies and companies are not
products. This quarter, the Professional Facing segments
showed the most activity, which may well be the aftermath of
Q1 2015 where the Professional Facing category led all
categories in funding. As this chart continues to catch up to the
current pace of innovation, we expect growth to slow
incrementally.

is creating a demand for insight that is widening our scope of inquiry
beyond the clinical realm.”

8th Annual Fall Conference, organized according to Health 2.0’s proprietary
market tracking schema.
