By MobiHealthNews' tally, the last three months have hosted at least 92 digital health funding rounds totalling just over $3.8 billion – a marked increase over Q4 2019's 55 raises of $1.7 billion. 

After something of a cool start, digital health investors finished the fourth quarter of 2020 strong with a collection of nine-figure raises from well-known health tech names. Verily led the pack here with a late-breaking $700 million raise, but the last few weeks also saw noteworthy buzzer-beaters from Bright Health ($500 million) Olive ($225.5 million), Everlywell ($175 million) and Cityblock Health ($160 million).

Big fundraising numbers were also the story of 2020 as a whole. In a calendar year that didn't adhere to anyone's expectations, digital health and health tech found unprecedented interest from patients, providers and investors alike. 

That last group bankrolled 372 funding rounds for 351 companies, and by MobiHealthNews' count pumped about $13.8 billion into the digital health sector. The year's raises were head and shoulders above its predecessors, which logged 251 announcements for $7.2 billion (2019) and 244 rounds for $7.7 billion (2018).
