The Healthy Muse Health Tech Index. Following the latest Public Digital Health Companies.

I have a keen interest in following the public healthcare markets, and specifically public digital health companies given the slew of IPOs and SPACs in the space over the last couple of years.

Since the number of publicly traded digital health firms is ever growing, I’m proud to announce the launch of the Healthy Muse Health Tech Index (“HTI”) to follow the sector in a more interactive manner.

  • The index will track an equally-weighted portfolio of public digital health firms across a range of services and subsectors.

Because I love healthcare, I’ll be comparing this portfolio’s performance against (1) the S&P 500 and (2) more specifically, the S&P 500 broad healthcare index.

  • I’m planning to provide weekly updates on the index’s performance in the market update section of the Healthy Muse newsletter. This section will also include news, headlines, and trends related to the index’s holdings. Subscribe to follow along here!

Constituents of the Healthy Muse Health Tech Index.

As mentioned previously, holdings in the HTI will be limited to public digital health companies. There will also be some overlap with services and medical device companies – sue me.

  • Keep in mind that these companies are subject to change as firms get acquired and new businesses enter the public markets.

Follow this link to the current (and near term future) list of public digital health constituents as of June 21, 2021:

I’m excited to track this portfolio of public digital health companies and will be interested to see how each firm performs over time!
