The healthcare industry is primed for disruption, and 2023 is no different. There’s no shortage of startups — some with the backing of serious venture capital — hoping to turn a niche within the industry on its head.
Here are six healthcare startups with the potential to make a dent in the market this year.
1. Aura Health
With VC backing from Reach Capital, Berkeley SkyDeck and Cowboy Ventures, Aura Health is well-positioned to continue its ascent to the top of the healthcare industry.
Aura is an all-in-one mental wellness app that provides users with access to high-quality content and services provided by coaches from around the globe.
If content, community and coaching are what you need, Aura is a great place to start. Just ask one of the company’s seven million+ current users.

3. Delfina
Delfina describes itself as “a comprehensive care management platform serving the diverse needs of pregnant people and their providers throughout pregnancy.”
The company believes that there’s a disconnect between pregnant patients and their providers. And with that, it has set out to efficiently connect the two.
Through the Delfina app, patients can access telehealth services, read educational articles and track their health through remote patient monitoring.
On the other side, healthcare providers receive dynamically updated analyses along with health data from the patient app and electronic health records to assess patients for potential complications.
Pregnancy is an exciting and stressful time. Delfina hopes to bring calm and comfort to the experience.
4. Gritwell
It’s one thing for a person to know that they have symptoms. It’s another thing entirely to know what’s driving those symptoms. Gritwell empowers patients to address the root cause of their symptoms, thus leading to a healthier and more enjoyable life.
Gritwell is best described as a company that provides virtual healthcare services that help identify the root causes of symptoms. It pairs users with a personal health coach who can create a tailored health plan to address their unique needs.
Most individuals have symptoms of something. Gritwell helps patients identify the root cause to ensure more timely and targeted treatment.
5. Mighty Health
Individuals aged 50 and older take specific steps to live their best life during what is supposed to be their most enjoyable years. Mighty Health describes itself as “the first all-in-one exercise, nutrition and daily health program designed to help you live the best years of your life.”
Maybe you need to lose weight. Maybe you have bone pain that’s slowing you down. Perhaps you’re concerned about high blood pressure.
Mighty Health provides daily, custom support to help you look and feel your best. It only takes two minutes to sign up for an account and get your personal health plan.
6. Tembo Health
For many years, healthcare for seniors has been the same. Tembo Health has set out to change all of that.
By partnering with senior care communities and leading healthcare professionals, Tembo Health is able to provide high-quality care through telemedicine services. This support includes everything from 24/7 urgent care to psychiatry.
The elderly care market is projected to grow from $1,594.6 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $2,366.4 billion by 2028. Tembo Health is in a position to take advantage of this growth.
In 2023, the healthcare industry is set for further disruption with innovative startups aiming to transform patient care across the spectrum. With the potential to make a significant impact, these startups are worth keeping an eye on in the coming year.
