"There is significant untapped potential for Israeli startups who want to address gaps in children's care," Yoav Fisher writes at HealthIL.
So says a new report that looks at 44 startups focused on children's health that have emerged in Israel since 2010.
Of those, only 16 are "confirmed to be inactive," and another seven are "possibly inactive," Fisher writes.
"This is unfortunate, as adolescent mental health is a major challenge that will be increasingly more acute in the coming decade," he adds.
"There are several established and emerging startups from the US and Europe who are building solutions to address this looming crisis."
Some of the startups focus on ADHD, autism, or speech pathology, while others are focused on just one or two areas at a time.
"When comparing to leading startups in the US and Europe, there is a difference in the types of products being developed in Israel," Fisher writes.
"Israeli startups tend to be narrower in scope, looking to address a specific clinical indication or a specific aspect of care."
For example, Brightline, which has raised more than $200 million, is focused on ADHD, while Daybreak, which has raised $25 million, has a unique model that incorporates schools and generates revenue both from insurance claims and contracts with employers.
