Health Equity x Digital Health
The 7wire Ventures team shared a piece and market map of startups innovating in the health equity space:
Despite growing awareness of health disparities and encouraging progress made in increasing health equity, there is still much work to be done. In close collaboration with cross-sector partners, digital health presents a catalyzing opportunity to close dire health equity gaps that have plagued many of the nation’s communities for far too long. Through thoughtful consumer-centric design and application, these innovative solutions and partnerships have the potential to reimagine the care experience for historically marginalized and underserved populations, and ultimately engender a nation of Informed Connected Health Consumers who are well equipped to achieve equitable health and wellbeing.
Startup Spotlight
Wanna know which startups get us excited these days? Below are a few of our recent (femtech-healthtech-ish) discoveries. This week we want to share some companies we've seen that make us go "Oh. Well that's interesting!" 👀
Millie: "Most of pregnancy happens between visits — and new parents need care long after the baby comes home. Millie brings you the support and knowledge you need before you know you need it."
Bunnii: "We're building a personal health record and care navigation platform dedicated to fertility, with the aim of broadening access for anyone whose path to parenthood hasn't been straightforward."
Womco: "Womco is a digital health platform to address hormonal health via personalised nutrition."
