The New York Digital Health Accelerator (NYDHA), a program run by the Partnership Fund for New York City and the New York eHealth Collaborative, is wrapping up its five month program today with presentations at its annual demo day from six early and growth stage health tech companies. These startups have built technology products for healthcare providers and patients alike; focusing on care coordination, patient engagement, and workflow improvement.
The program, now in its third year, has graduated 15 companies that have gone on to raise a total of $65M in follow on funding. Two graduates were acquired within 6 months of completing the program. Each startup in this year’s class has received $100K in funding and they are set to hit the stage later today.
