The health tech industry is booming, with services like telemedicine getting more popular, and more companies offering tools to monitor personal health at home. To identify the companies across the globe using digital technologies to make healthcare more effective and accessible, TIME partnered with data firm Statista to research the World’s Top HealthTech Companies of 2026, evaluating metrics including financial performance, reputation, and online engagement.
Methodology: How TIME and Statista Determined the World’s Top HealthTech Companies of 2026
The list includes innovators like precision medicine-focused biotech Tempus, AI medical scribe Abridge, early warning tool Bayesian Health, smart dental x-ray Overjet, portable ultrasound maker Butterfly Network, virtual women’s health platform Maven Clinic, mental health services platform Spring Health, and surgeon training platform Osso VR.
It also highlights a set of growing trends in healthtech. The presence of One Medical represents the rise of concierge medicine, an annual membership fee-based health care service that has been drawing primary care physicians away from traditional hospitals due to better pay and reliable hours. Many venture backed tech startups have ideas aimed at disruptingthe sluggish and inefficient healthcare system in the U.S. To help hospitals reach more patients, digital health companies like CareMessage and Cadence have stepped in to cover outreach gaps in low-resource regions, and allow clinicians keep an eye on rural patients with chronic conditions remotely. On the other hand, influenced by celebrities, there is also an increasing demand for more luxury medical services that have not been traditionally standard, like getting whole body MRIs, provided by companies such as Prenuvo and Neko at a premium price.
New wellness trends are also showing up. As health experts stress the importance of preventative and functional medicine, and lifestyle changes for longevity, consumers have flocked to home health tracking wearables like Oura, physical recovery tools from Therabody, and nutrition platforms like Parsley Health.
