eHealth in Colombia - Statistics & Facts
With the onset of the internet and technology permeating our everyday lives, digital transformation has become a regular phenomenon in the development of various industries. This plays a major role in improving accessibility for consumers. Overall, this evolution has made substantial headway in prevalent service sectors such as eHealth. In Latin America, the biotech and health care market ranks as the region's fifth largest startup industry. With a rising online population, demographic changes, and higher life expectancy rates, the region’s health systems have been forced to make appropriate adjustments to cope with the demands of modern-day society. Colombia’s health sector is an example of this phenomenon, where healthtech startups such as Lentesplus and Farmalisto have recently dived into the market and raised over 40 million U.S. dollars in venture capital funds.
