Companies focusing on AI & Data Analytics—perhaps unsurprisingly—earned the most high-ranking scores, a reflection of the current boom in using health data to improve everything from screening for disease to diagnostics and matching patients to the right treatments that are most likely to lead to the best health outcomes. Qure AI (marked Very High performance in AI & Data Analytics) was also named a TIME100 Most Influential Company of 2025 earlier this year for its deep-learning technology that can analyze diagnostic imaging and catch issues like cancer and TB early.
Meanwhile, the category with the least highest-ranking companies was Prevention, an area of medicine that experts widely recognize as important for lowering health costs by helping people to avoid disease in the first place. While both private and public insurance providers are required to cover more preventive services, including cancer screenings and immunizations, doctors aren’t rewarded for having the broader discussions about how to prevent chronic diseases, like heart diseases, diabetes, and obesity, at the same rate as they are ordering tests and performing procedures, which could be dampening innovation in the field.
