DPCs offer value-based primary and preventive care services addressing whole-person (social, mental, physical) needs for a fixed monthly or annual fee paid by either the patient, insurance provider, or employer.

Companies offer B2B and D2C evidence-based treatments delivered via software programs to prevent and manage a variety of chronic conditions.

Platforms offer a subscription-based or B2B-sponsored, evidence-based program for managing a specific long-term health condition.

Tools that collect and analyze real-time patient data that supports healthcare providers with clinical decisions,  improves patient outcomes, and reduces medical errors.

Companies offer independent physician practices and hospitals with the tools (patient engagement, care coordination, administrative services) to help manage and improve clinical health outcomes of a defined group of individuals or large populations.

Platforms are used to track and gather patient health-related information via either a connected device or at-home test kits to detect the early onset of disease and identify any abnormalities in readings—but do not include a treatment plan.

Preventive Healthcare

Overview

<div>
  <h3>
    Personalized remedies against future health challenges
  </h3>
  <p>
    Preventive care delivers personalized prophylactic care to patients and facilitates clinical decision support to practitioners, as opposed to reactive care, which intervenes after health conditions deteriorate. Preventive care technologies track physiological and biometric data through connected devices in real time and store them in a patient portal, housing electronic health records. This data is analyzed continuously by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to predict and warn patients and healthcare providers of potential health issues. 
  </p>
  <p>
    The growing frequency of chronic diseases and the rise in associated costs are a substantial burden to reactive care  in the US. Many providers are now offering advanced preventive health solutions to individuals and corporate clients to mitigate risk of conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.

The US preventive care market will grow to USD 54 billion–73 billion by 2026

Market Sizing

COVID19-IMPACT

Market Mapping

<p>We have identified six segments for the preventive healthcare industry.  Direct primary care providers account for nearly one-third of companies in our coverage. The next largest segment consists of passive remote monitoring platforms that offer connected devices to track patient vitals. These startups compete with established clinics and hospitals which have also adopted a value-based approach to offer an extensive range of preventive care services.</p><p>We have also determined that many of the disruptors that offer direct primary care, digital therapeutics, and specialized chronic care platforms are in their growth stage, with funding directed towards scaling up operations to serve the rising demand for chronic care prevention and treatment as well as the escalating medical costs. However, most passive remote monitoring platforms and diagnostic tools are still in the early or seed stages.</p>

The Disruptors

<h3>Disruptors deliver personalized care by leveraging data</h3><p>Disruptors in the preventive care landscape attempt to build more personalized and value-based relationships with members through real-time monitoring coupled with intelligent analytics to predict potential health issues. Many disruptors operate on a subscription-based model charging for the use of an in-house platform/app with fees averaging USD 150 per month. They offer real-time care by leveraging information from sensors/wearables and coordinate with providers via telemedicine so patients can reach out to practitioners in the comfort of their homes and share vitals through the same platform to have interventions before escalations.</p><p>We have identified One Medical as the leading direct primary care provider given its large member base and long history of operations. The direct primary care segment dominates the preventive healthcare industry in terms of funding, accounting for more than half of total funds raised as of June 2021. Despite a smaller number of players, both digital therapeutics and chronic care management platforms have also attracted a much larger share of funding compared to passive remote monitoring platforms. Noteworthy digital therapeutics and chronic care management platforms include Sharecare, Hinge Health, and Virta Health.</p>

Disruptor Funding History

The Incumbents

<div>
  <h3>
    In-house development and partnerships for tech know-how remain the most common strategies
  </h3>
  <p>
    The incumbents in the preventive care landscape are mainly established healthcare providers, who have expanded their scope to include preventive primary care in addition to their existing healthcare services. In-house developments and partnerships with tech companies remain the most popular entry strategies to the preventive care landscape. We expect leading incumbents such as Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic to stand to benefit given their access to a larger patient pool and specialization in highly prevalent chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart diseases. Other incumbents that operate large drugstore chains such as Walgreens have also entered this space via partnerships with direct primary care providers.
