European health startups

Health startups of all types are proliferating across Europe. It’s no surprise that the intersection of health, wellness and technology is becoming a popular space for entrepreneurs in Europe. From fertility-tracking apps to smart toothbrushes, startups are tackling all areas of the healthcare spectrum.

Yet, there are a number of challenges, specific to the region, that entrepreneurs in this space will undoubtedly face. Namely, the fragmentation of the market, shortage of entrepreneurs and lack of investment.

In an effort to track down the emerging digital health activity in Europe, tech.eu compiled a list highlighting 30 companies that are spearheading exciting developments in this scene:

Withings /Issy-les-Moulineaux, France/

Health gadget company Withings, founded in 2008, is arguably best known for its series of intelligent scales and body analyzers. Last year, it landed $30 million in funding to fuel expansion.
