Digital health funding rebounds with megadeals, but the money is concentrating at the top
Rock Health says digital health startups raised $4 billion in Q1, driven by 12 megadeals, while other reporting points to a broader $1 billion boost since Q1 2025. The headline is recovery, but the more important story is concentration: capital is flowing to a smaller number of companies that already look like category leaders.
