Healthcare is in a crisis globally.
It costs too much, often unavailable to many, too generic, uses legacy systems, creates walls between patients and care teams, the list goes on.
However, we stand at a moment of monumental change. For the first time since clean water, we have the opportunity to develop healthcare solutions leveraging software and data that can improve outcomes and lower costs.
A leader in Digital Health.
In 2019, Nex Cubed established itself as a leader in Digital Health, becoming one of the most active Digital Health Investors in the U.S., and recognized as a top 10 Digital Health Accelerator in the world.
