NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CB Insights today named Proscia to the inaugural Digital Health 150 ranking, showcasing the 150 most promising private digital health companies in the world. CB Insights CEO Anand Sanwal revealed the final Digital Health 150 during Future of Health, a gathering of top executives across some of the largest healthcare institutions, startups, and investment firms.
"From pharmaceuticals to patient care, technology is rapidly changing healthcare, and The Digital Health 150 showcases the 150 best startups spearheading innovation and change in the sector," said CB Insights CEO Anand Sanwal. "It's a privilege to use CB Insights' data to identify and shine a light on these companies, and we look forward to tracking their success in 2019 and beyond."
The Digital Health 150 companies span the globe, from Canada, China, Germany, Israel, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and are supported by more than 850 investors.
"Proscia is honored to be recognized as one of the most promising digital health companies. This is a reflection of our commitment to transforming cancer research and diagnosis by helping pathology go digital," said David West, CEO of Proscia. "By making computational pathology a reality, Proscia is driving laboratory workflow efficiencies and unlocking new insights to improve patient outcomes."
Through an evidence-based approach, the CB Insights research team selected the Digital Health 150 from hundreds of applications based on several factors including patent activity, investor quality, news sentiment analysis, proprietary Mosaic scores, market potential, partnerships, competitive landscape, team strength, and tech novelty. The Mosaic Score, based on CB Insights' algorithm, measures the overall health and growth potential of private companies to help predict a company's momentum.
Proscia has delivered against these metrics by transforming the 150-year-old manual and subjective practice of pathology with tools that go beyond the limits of the human mind. The company's intelligent software and pipeline of deep learning applications augment what pathologists can see and do to accelerate research and elevate the standard of care. As the global cancer burden continues to rise, the practice of computational pathology that Proscia is advancing will be critical to keeping pace with the demand for diagnostic services and to uncovering the data required to fulfill the promise of precision care.
