Healthcare systems across the world have always been under pressure; the pandemic simply multiplied it. It has also made the pre-existing challenges of healthcare systems visible to everyone. It has come to light that during the tough times, healthcare professionals were under-equipped, underpaid, and overworked.

Cologne-based healthtech startups

While these conditions vary from one country to another, this has paved the way for the potential digitalisation of the healthcare services. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that the COVID-19 crisis has boosted both the requirement and interest in such innovative solutions. Eventually, there is a high demand than ever before for ehealth or digital health. This has led to a rise in the relevant verticals including telehealth, mhealth, and health analytics.

As per a report, the global digital health market is estimated to reach $511B (nearly €435B) by 2026, which is an impressive yearly growth rate of 26%. While markets such as the US and China are leading the digitalisation of health systems, other markets have picked up the pace now.

Talking about Germany, it is one of the leading startup scenes and Berlin remains the main focus of the German startup scene. Given that the report cites that the annual public health spending of Germany is $330B (nearly €281B), here we have listed the top healthtech startups in Cologne that are worth your attention right now as sourced from Dealroom.
