The bigger picture
The capital context matters here. US digital health raised $7.4 billion in H1 2026 with 45% of it concentrated in $100M+ megadeals, and 115 acquisitions made it the busiest M&A run since 2021 (our analysis). In a market this concentrated, the strategies described in this conversation - defensible data, measurable outcomes, disciplined growth - are precisely what separates the funded from the folded.
What makes the discussion valuable is its refusal to stay abstract: every point lands on a real workflow, budget, or patient. At Reach7 Diabetes Studios, that thinking translates into daily decisions about where technology genuinely earns its place in care delivery, and where discipline matters more than novelty.
The HTC take
