Health

The latest news and information about innovations in healthcare.

Hi there !

I’m Alaedine - an MD PhD Trainee based in France. I just became the new health curator of the Health Startup Digest. This newsletter has been out for more than two years now, so let’s go back to some basics to be sure you agree to be part of the adventure ! ↙️

🎯 Our aim here is to provide some global insights about startups and innovations in healthcare, week by week.

💡 We think this digest is important and relevant regarding the complexity of the healthcare ecosystem. Being informed of the last trends and keeping an eye on the big news (e.g. fundraising or new breaking/disrupting products) is valuable.

🐦 If you do not longer want to be part of this list, do not hesitate to unsubscribe (link at the bottom). Our objective is to inform and share, not to bother you with more unread emails :)

🎉 Otherwise, let’s go !

Sincerely,

Alaedine

PS : Do not hesitate to reach out to us for any remark, inquiry or suggestion.
