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.
StartUp Health Insights 2016 Midyear ReportStartUp Health
The digital health market broke historic records for midyear funding as investment reached $3.9B.

FINN Partners Global State of Digital Health Q3 2022Levi Shapiro
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.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
