Global investments in digital health are at record highs. Covid-19 has accelerated advancements and benefits of virtual care, behavioral, and digital therapeutics. This session will help investors understand innovations in digital health and how to develop a growth-opportunity thesis around public companies that may not be factored into their stock price. To successfully invest in public tech stocks, a long-term thesis can be formed by being a student of the startups and the consumption patterns developing based on changing demographics, culture, and technology. Private market investors are trained to view the world 10 years out. They don't base their ideas on quarterly reports, though they are important, but on whether a company is positioned to grab market share of a growing market that has yet to fully take form.
