Advances in data science and artificial intelligence<\/a> are giving rise to a new wave of healthcare startups that focus on predictive analytics, precision medicine, enhanced life sciences<\/a> research and improved patient care. Growth in the digital health market is anticipated to rise at a CAGR of 13.4% between 2017 and 2025, reaching $536.6 billion by the end of 2025. Here are 10 top healthcare startups (worldwide) that are redefining innovation:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. SWORD Health<\/strong><\/a>
    \nYou no longer have to be physically present for physical therapy —\u00a0Porto\/San Fancisco-based SWORD Health has developed the world’s first AI-powered digital physical therapist. After an assessment of rehabilitation needs, the clinical team prescribes a tailored programme which the patient can take home. A high-precision motion tracker is strapped on to the patient, which wirelessly communicates data to the virtual therapist. The digital therapist is then able to guide the patient through the correct exercises remotely, making sure that they are performed correctly.<\/li>\n
  2. Prognos<\/strong><\/a>
    \nWith the ambitious aim of eradicating disease, Prognos (formerly Medivo) uses AI and advanced data analytics to help predict disease at the earliest.

Backed by Alphabet, the company was bought over by Roche in early 2018.<\/li>\n
  4. Modern Fertility<\/strong><\/a>
    \nThis San Francisco-based startup offers a fertility hormone test that women can take at home. You just have to take a simple finger-prick test and return it through the mail for a physician-approved report about your hormones and a fertility profile. The company partners with Quest Diagnostics, which has 2000+ centers in the US.\u00a0 Founded by two former Uber and 23andME execs and launched at Y Combinator, the company raised $6 million in May 2018.<\/li>\n

This San Francisco-based company offers an FDA-approved oncology AI software that helps radiologists measure and track tumours in MRIs and CT scans using a simple browser — and the aim is more accurate, faster cancer recognition. The software uses deep learning to detect lung and liver lesions, with an accuracy that’s equal to segmentations performed by human experts. Arterys completed a series B funding of $30M in 2017.<\/li>\n
  8. Feebris<\/strong><\/a>
    \nThis London-based company provides in a mobile application that enables community-based diagnoses in the elderly and in children (under 5).
