Digital Health New York

What Digital Health New York does

Digital Health New York (DHNY) is a private, New York-based membership and professional community organization founded in 2020 (rebranded from NYC Health Business Leaders in May 2023) that convenes senior healthcare executives, entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate sponsors around the New York digital health ecosystem. The organization operates with 1-10 employees and no proprietary technology stack; its offerings are content, events, and community rather than software products.

DHNY's core products are the annual New York Digital Health 100 (DH100) ranking, now in its seventh year and recognizing 48 new companies per cycle alongside a Hall of Fame tier (introduced 2025); quarterly and annual healthcare innovation reports covering investment trends and sector dynamics; a portfolio of in-person events including the DHNY Summit, Summer Rooftop Networking Party, Obesity+Health conference, and topical panels; a tiered membership program; and the NYC Obesity Working Group, a stakeholder coalition advancing an Obesity Management Framework for employers.

The business model is built on tiered annual membership subscriptions (Individual $300, Start-Up $750, Pro $1,250, Elite $2,500, Enterprise $5,000), corporate event and report sponsorships from organizations including Deloitte, J.P. Morgan, Northwell Health, Pfizer, AWS, Pillsbury and others, and ancillary revenue from report distribution. DHNY serves four primary customer segments: digital health startups and growth-stage companies seeking visibility and networking; senior healthcare executives and entrepreneurs; healthcare investors and VCs; and large employers and health plans engaging with digital health innovation. Geographic scope is explicitly regional, focused on the New York metro market.

Direct peers

• StartUp Health: Global health innovation community and membership organization that runs an annual health moonshot ranking, curated events, and a network of founders, investors, and industry leaders — structurally analogous to DHNY's DH100 + membership + events model, but operating at global rather than regional scale.
• Plug and Play Health: Health vertical of Plug and Play's global innovation platform, running startup accelerator batches, corporate partner programs (health systems, payers, pharma), and themed events that connect digital health startups with enterprise buyers — closely analogous community-plus-corporate-sponsorship model.
• MATTER: Chicago-based healthcare innovation community and incubator that combines tiered membership, curated events, corporate partner programs (similar to DHNY's sponsor stack), and educational programming for startups, providers, and payers — directly comparable community-and-events business model.
• Healthcare Innovation (Health 2.0 / Inseparable Group): Producer of the long-running Health 2.0 Conference series focused on digital health innovation, plus industry events and editorial coverage. Direct adjacency to DHNY's conference-and-community model for digital health audiences, now operating under successor event programming.

Regional players

• MedCity News: Digital health business media outlet producing news, executive conferences (MedCity INVEST, MedCity News Events), and industry analysis. Serves a similar audience of digital health executives, investors, and providers through events and content, comparable to DHNY's newsletter + events mix.
• Nashville Healthcare Council: Member-driven healthcare industry council in Nashville, the nation's other major healthcare hub, providing executive networking events, peer roundtables, and thought leadership programming. Comparable community-and-events structure but focused on incumbent providers and payers rather than digital health startups.
• JumpStart Health (formerly BioEnterprise): Cleveland/Northeast Ohio healthcare and bio-health innovation organization connecting startups, investors, and health systems through events, programming, and partnerships. Operates a similar regional digital-health-hub model to DHNY but in a different geography.

Broad incumbents

• Health Evolution: Invite-only community of health system CEOs, payers, and policymakers convening through curated roundtables, summits, and research. Comparable to DHNY in its focus on senior-executive audience and event-driven engagement, but operates at the CEO/board level rather than the startup/founder level.
• HIMSS: Global healthcare information and technology membership organization operating industry conferences (HIMSS Global Conference), digital media, professional education, and advocacy. Overlaps with DHNY on healthcare events, member services, and audience development, but operates at vastly larger scale across the entire health IT ecosystem.

Others

• Cedars-Sinai Accelerator: Hospital-system-run accelerator for digital health and health-tech startups, combining program cohorts, demo days, corporate partner introductions, and brand-aligned events. Comparable audience and sponsorship model but with an accelerator backbone rather than a pure membership/community backbone.
