Investing in Healthcare’s
Power Users
Ingeborg’s 2025 annual research report introduces a framework for identifying and serving healthcare’s power users: consumers who engage deeply, loyally and often.
In any other industry, consumers that drive the most usage and spend are coveted and catered to. In healthcare, those users are overwhelmingly women, yet their needs continue to be underserved. Pressure on the healthcare industry to reduce costs and improve outcomes is only intensifying. Achieving these improvements is only possible if the healthcare system better serves its power users.
Core Takeaway
To drive necessary cost containment and improved outcomes healthcare has to build for its power users: women. Each of our predictions for 2026 investment opportunities highlights opportunities for startups to unlock the full potential of women as healthcare’s power users.
2026 is the year to redesign healthcare for everyone — starting with the women who power it.
