In this month’s Digital Health Roundup, Medtech Insight’s Marion Webb provides highlights from the recent HLTH conference in Las Vegas. Reed Miller and Barnaby Pickering offer an overview of the highly competitive diabetes tech market. We also talk about digital health in Germany and Europe.

This year’s annual HLTH meeting drew more than 9,000 people to Las Vegas from 13-16 November and hundreds of exhibitors. In this first part of a two-part roundup, Medtech Insight highlights interviews with C-suite executives at Mirvie, Grail, Biofourmis, Komodo Health and Babson Diagnostics.

During Q2, biopharmas brought in an aggregate $12.5bn in financing and device company fundraising totaled $3.7bn; while in vitro diagnostic firms and research tools players raised $720m.

The Boston company will use the new investment to continue scaling its virtual care business. Biofourmis also announced that medtech veteran Omar Ishrak is joining the company’s board as its chairman.
