One HealthTech, a grassroots community dedicated to fostering diversity in health innovation, has successfully secured $704K in investment capital. This funding round marks a significant milestone for the organisation as it continues to expand its mission of supporting and promoting women and other under-represented groups to become future leaders in health technology.
The organisation campaigns for the crucial need for better inclusion of all backgrounds, skill sets, and disciplines within healthtech. Starting as a small meet-up in London in late 2015, One HealthTech has grown into a robust community with hubs across the UK, including Wales and Scotland, and internationally in Dublin, Stockholm, and Melbourne. These hubs are led by local community builders passionate about digital health in their regions. One HealthTech supports the health and care community through education, mentorship, promoting the positive effects of inclusion, encouraging broader participation at events, and championing diversity in leadership across the broad spectrum of healthtech specialities.
The newly raised capital will be deployed to accelerate One HealthTech's strategic growth initiatives. This includes expanding its network of community hubs, enhancing its mentorship programs, and developing new educational resources to further empower its members. The investment underscores the growing recognition of One HealthTech's vital role in addressing the inclusion gap within the rapidly evolving health technology sector. Looking ahead, One HealthTech aims to further solidify its position as a leading advocate for diversity, driving meaningful change and empowering a broader range of voices to shape the future of health innovation globally.
