Digital Health Exits Slowed Down in 2015, But Saw 5 IPOs
Summary
While deal activity into digital health continues to grow, exits saw a slowdown in 2015. The largest digital health exits this year were the 5 IPOs. While all of them went public for valuations above $400M, they were eclipsed by Fitbit, which went public at a valuation above $4B, marking the third $1B+ digital health exit since 2010, after Veeva Systems and Castlight Health. All 5 of the now-public companies tackle very different healthcare issues: with Fitbit in wearables, Teladoc working on telemedicine solutions, Evolent Health moving health systems towards value-based care systems, MINDBODY in booking and management software, and InVitae working in genetics testing.
