The Unicorns Of Behavioral Health: Who They Are & How They Impact Patient Care – To Be Presented On December 1 Through PsychU.org
GETTYSBURG (October 9, 2022) — By July 2021, investments in digital health exceeded all of 2020. In the U.S. alone, $29.1 billion was funneled into digital health startups. Among the top-funded digital health clinical domains, mental health took the lead at $5.1 billion. This is over 10 times the investment in 2017, and $3.3 billion more than any other clinical indication.1
It has been almost 10 years since Aileen Lee coined the term “unicorn” to describe a privately held company valued over $1 billion.2 In behavioral health, companies that have achieved unicorn status include some commonly known names such Talkspace, Calm, and Lyra Health. These companies with their investment dollars are already reshaping patient care and care delivery.3
