Bright.md Named to the 2020 CB Insights Digital Health 150 -- List of Most Innovative - Nicole Turgeon1 - 08-25-2020
Bright.md recognized for achievements in virtual care delivery
NEW YORK, August 13, 2020 -- CB Insights today named Bright.md to its second annual Digital Health 150 ranking, which showcases the 150 most promising private digital health companies in the world.
The 2020 Digital Health 150 cohort highlights startups that are reimagining the lines of the traditional healthcare experience across 12 categories, from Virtual Care Delivery and Clinical Trials, to Drug Discovery and Specialty Care. Countries represented this year include Canada, China, Israel, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States, among others.
“This year’s Digital Health 150 is our most global ever, covering the best private healthcare companies from 17 countries. Beyond geographic diversity, these companies are innovating across the entire healthcare value chain, spanning technologies that benefit pharma & biotech companies, to payers, hospitals, insurers, and more,” said CB Insights CEO Anand Sanwal. “Last year’s Digital Health 150 winners saw numerous exits and went on to raise nearly $5 billion in investor financing after being recognized. We look forward to seeing the success of this year's class of the best in digital health."
“It’s an honor to be recognized by CB Insights, and for Bright.md to be in the company of innovators dedicated to making healthcare work better for everyone,” said Dr. Ray Costantini, CEO & Co-founder of Bright.md. “While 2020 has been a banner year for digital health, we have so much more to do in improving the experience, quality, and affordability of care for patients and providers. We’re excited to see what this collection of global companies brings to bear in the coming months and years—and to continue to make contributions toward that improvement ourselves.”
Through an evidence-based approach, the CB Insights research team selected the Digital Health 150 from hundreds of applications based on several factors including patent activity, investor quality, news sentiment analysis, proprietary Mosaic scores, market potential, partnerships, competitive landscape, team strength, and tech novelty. The Mosaic Score, based on CB Insights’ algorithm, measures the overall health and growth potential of private companies to help predict a company’s momentum.
Bright.md’s AI-driven interoperable care-automation platform connects patients to health records, doctors to patients, and patients to status updates throughout the entire treatment experience—virtually and within minutes. The platform automates 90 percent of the care-delivery process for any modality, including in-person, asynchronous, and video, allowing providers to focus on easily delivering high-quality care to 15 times as many patients per shift. Care automation powers Bright.md’s asynchronous telehealth solution, SmartExam, which lets providers treat patients with nearly 500 common low-acuity conditions in less than two minutes per visit.
