Back in July, we theorized that 2020 could end up being a record-setting year for digital health M&A, and that’s turned out to be the case. With 35 deals in the first half of the year, nine in the third quarter, and 20 more in Q4,
MobiHealthNews and its sister publications tracked a staggering 64 deals this year.
That count, by the way, excludes “blank check” or Special Purpose Acquisition Company deals, which are technically acquisitions but often function more like IPOs. SPAC deals have been popular this year, with
MobiHealthNews tracking at least six.
Our usual caveats apply – in our annual and quarterly roundups, we count up all the deals we covered during the year, even if they technically haven’t yet closed. We don’t claim that the list is exhaustive (though please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any omissions) and we’re aware that “digital health” remains a category with somewhat fuzzy boundaries.
