PocDoc Named to the 2025 CB Insights’ List of the 50 Most Promising Digital Health Startups

Cambridge, United Kingdom October 21, 2025 – CB Insights today named PocDoc to its seventh annual Digital Health 50, showcasing the 50 most promising private digital health companies in the world.

“The 2025 Digital Health 50 winners are high-momentum companies poised to define the next era of healthcare,” said Ellen Knapp, Principal Analyst at CB Insights. “This year’s cohort is advancing the shift from reactive to proactive care, developing AI solutions tailored to healthcare's unique regulatory environment, and addressing critical sector-wide challenges from care access to provider burnout and workforce shortages.”

Steve Roest, CEO at PocDoc, commented:

“We are incredibly proud of this recognition as one of the top 50 most promising digital health startups. PocDoc was formed to make preventive care for chronic diseases more accessible, and being included in CB Insights’ Digital Health 50 highlights the impact and importance of our health checks and the work we’ve been doing to make screenings more accessible.”

The list primarily includes early- and mid-stage startups driving innovation across digital health. Our research team picked winning companies based on CB Insights datasets, including deal activity, industry partnerships, team strength, investor strength, employee headcount, and proprietary Commercial Maturity and Mosaic scores. We also dug into Analyst Briefings submitted directly to us by startups.

PocDoc has developed a scalable point-of-care health check that enables end-to-end identification of cardiovascular risk and integrates into NHS care pathways in the app. This reduces the burden on primary care and connects those who are flagged as being at risk to the most appropriate care pathway.

With healthcare in the UK shifting from reactive treatment to proactive prevention, PocDoc stands out by bringing at home self-testing closer to patients which increases access to faster and more accessible screenings. PocDoc aims to build upon these achievements and help to further close the gaps in early detection. This will help to empower more people and to take charge of their health.
