The first quarter of 2017 has been an impressive one for digital health funding. MobiHealthNews tracked a staggering 46 deals in January, February, and March, totaling $1.47 billion ($1.35 billion in equity and $12 million in debt). Even dropping the outlier that is Verily’s $800 million round, that still adds up to more than $600 million in investment, not to mention eight more funding rounds with undisclosed amounts.

It’s worth noting we also reported on one piece of news on the investor side, with Venture capital firm Digitalis launching a $100 million digital health fund in January. The fund’s mission is to spur innovation in healthcare by investing in early and seed stage companies that leverage math, science and technology to address human health problems.

Also, for an investor perspective, check out two contributed pieces published this quarter from Flare Capital Principal Dan Gebremedhin and Asset Management Ventures Partner Skip Fleshman. Exclusive to MobiHealthNews, these two high-profile digital health investors shared their predictions for how the space will shake out in the coming year.
