Key Insights from Frontiers Health 2025: Navigating Digital Health transformation

The Coulter Partners team, including Ian Coyne, Francesca Lazzarin, and Anne-Monika Duerk, recently returned from a highly informative Frontiers Health conference in Berlin, energized by two days of discussions focused on digital health innovation.


Frontiers Health

Our team engaged with global leaders on the key trends that will shape executive and board needs for the coming year. Key takeaways included:

  • Healthspan & HealthStack: Discussions consistently focused on #healthspan and the newly coined #HealthStack—the combination of all technology and data that forms an individual's total health picture. This holistic view is redefining the leadership needs of diagnostics startups and beyond.
  • The Power of the 2Gs: GenAI and GLP-1s dominated the agenda. We observed healthy debate on the ethical usage of AI and the rapid expansion of GLP-1 indications. The sense of optimism regarding fundraising, revenue, and health system engagement was noticeably higher than last year.
  • Health Equality in a Digital World: A critical focus was placed on health equality, with striking data showing the disparity in access to digital health tools based on geography. Addressing this requires visionary and empathetic leadership.
  • The Pharma/Tech Interface: We noted building use cases for Real World Evidence (RWE), demonstrating that Pharma is actively engaging with technology despite internal headwinds.
  • Menopause & Founder Focus: The visibility of menopause solutions and the prevalence of founders solving problems based on first-hand personal experience underscore the rapid shifts in therapeutic focus and problem-solving drive across the ecosystem.

We look forward to leveraging these valuable insights as we continue to support companies in securing pivotal leadership talent.
