Digital Health Tech, also referenced as Health Tech, refers to the development of technology-based products to enhance and support healthcare and medical practices. This can encompass a wide range of tools, software, systems and innovations that aim to improve the delivery of healthcare services, patient outcomes and wellness, and the overall efficiency of the healthcare ecosystem and environment. This can include addressing all types of care, including acute care, primary care, long-term care and home or community care. Some mental health or personal health products may also qualify.
While Digital Health Tech can include some type of hardware or IoT, it is generally different from Medical Devices (a category on its own) requiring regulatory approvals from the likes of Health Canada and the FDA. Life Sciences startups requiring regulatory approval are similarly treated as a separate category.
