Our take
The global digital health market is expected to reach $221 Billion by 2026. With more than 12 million users globally, over 26.5m assessments and a suite of AI-driven enterprise solutions, Ada is is a large player in this emerging market.
The startup’s broad global reach and deep relationships with healthcare providers and professionals has allowed it to build a market-leading symptoms-diagnosis product based on Artificial Intelligence.
The product means Ada can move beyond symptom checking to help people monitor their health continuously and take proactive steps to keep it in tip-top condition. In 2023, it partnered with Pfizer to create a COVID-19 digital care journey for sufferers of the virus. That partnership, and many of Ada's other ventures mean new B2B revenue-driving opportunities from health systems, insurers and life sciences organisations.
The idea of proactive healthcare, catching a £100k per year problem when it is a £100 problem, has been a prize that digital health companies have long sought and failed. Ada's suite of products and connections is looking to buck that trend.
