Vitals
This year, on Inc Magazine's list of the 5,000 fastest growing private companies, several of the companies listed were in the digital health space. Inc created this list by measuring a private company's revenue growth between 2010 and 2013 and sorted the results by percentage. The awards mark one of the few opportunities to get a peek at a private company's revenue figures and a general idea of its growth.
Some digital health companies on the list, like Vitals and Imprivata, have made several announcements over the last few years, while others, like BestDoctors, have remained relatively quiet. These are the 14 digital health companies that Inc said have grown significantly over the past three years.
