Healthtech startups are at the cutting edge of merging healthcare with technology, aiming to revolutionise how we approach wellness, medicine, and healthcare delivery
These innovative companies are leveraging technology to improve patient outcomes, enhance the efficiency of healthcare services, and make health and wellness services more accessible to people everywhere.
From wearable devices that monitor vital signs to platforms that offer virtual consultations with healthcare professionals, health tech startups are breaking down barriers between patients and the care they need.
These startups harness a range of technologies, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, and the Internet of Things (IoT), to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in healthcare.
They're not just focused on making healthcare more efficient; they're also deeply invested in making it more personalised, predictive, and preventative, aiming to shift the focus from treating illness to maintaining and enhancing health.
Babylon Health is a prominent example of a successful health tech startup from the UK. Founded in 2013, Babylon Health has set out to make healthcare services more accessible and affordable by leveraging technology.
The company offers a digital-first healthcare service, enabling users to consult with doctors and health professionals via text and video consultations through their app. This approach significantly reduces the need for in-person appointments, making healthcare more accessible, especially in underserved areas or for people with mobility challenges.
Babylon Health utilises artificial intelligence to provide users with medical advice through its chatbot service. This AI can analyse symptoms and provide recommendations, guiding users on whether they need to book a consultation with a healthcare professional.
The company's innovative use of technology to provide medical consultations and health monitoring has not only made it a leader in the UK's health tech sector but also a model for digital healthcare services worldwide.
If you're building in healthtech, understanding the types of investors out there can save you a lot of time and frustration.
Angel Investors in this space are often current or former healthcare professionals — think doctors, consultants, or operators — who’ve seen the inefficiencies of the system firsthand. They typically invest early, using their own capital, and often bring domain-specific insight or connections that generalist angels can’t.
Healthtech VCs operate on a different scale. These firms manage institutional or pooled capital and are usually looking for startups with early traction in regulated markets like diagnostics, digital therapeutics, or clinical tools. They care about things like clinical validation, compliance with regulatory frameworks (like the MHRA in the UK), and scalability within existing healthcare infrastructures (NHS, insurers, etc).
Pre-seed VCs often bridge the gap between angels and larger healthtech VCs. They’re willing to bet early on promising founders, but with slightly more structure than angels. Some specialise in healthtech, while others are generalists with an interest in the space.
All three types — angels, pre-seed funds, and health-focused VCs — are included in our investor database, complete with filters so you can pinpoint those aligned with your stage and sector.
And don’t underestimate the power of in-person networking. Healthtech and medtech events, conferences, and demo days are crawling with investors scouting for the next big clinical breakthrough.
