DH100 recognizes the companies shaping the future of healthcare innovation in NY‍

We’re proud to share that Violet has once again been named to the New York Digital Health 100 (DH100), an annual recognition honoring the most innovative and high-impact digital health startups in the New York region. Published by Digital Health New York (DHNY), the DH100 is released in conjunction with the 2026 New York Healthcare Innovation Report, which analyzes key investment trends, market dynamics, and opportunities shaping the digital health ecosystem.

Now in its seventh year, the DH100 spotlights the companies driving healthcare forward through bold ideas and scalable solutions. The 2026 list includes 48 new companies addressing some of healthcare’s most complex challenges, alongside members of the DHNY Hall of Fame, which recognizes organizations whose early and lasting contributions helped build New York’s digital health ecosystem.

“Being named to the DH100 again is meaningful because it reflects a shift we’re seeing across healthcare, from talking about personalization to actually operationalizing it,” said Gaurang Choksi, CEO and Founder of Violet. “Over the past year, we’ve focused on helping healthcare organizations turn that intent into action by making person-centered care measurable and easier to support at scale. That includes education designed around real-world care challenges, from complex chronic conditions to the lived experiences of different patient communities. Our goal is simple: to help care teams deliver care that reflects the full context of a person’s life, not just a diagnosis. We’re proud to be recognized alongside companies building practical approaches to improving care.”

“The breadth and depth of companies named to this year’s DH100 reflect a clear market shift from experimentation to execution,” said Bunny Ellerin, co-founder and CEO of DHNY. “These companies are scaling solutions that improve outcomes while building enduring businesses, demonstrating how innovation at the intersection of care delivery, data, and trust is shaping the next generation of healthcare leaders.”

Over the past year, Violet expanded its platform to better support practical, day-to-day clinical decision-making. This includes the launch of Violet Assistant, an AI-powered clinical companion that surfaces trusted education, workflows, and documentation guidance, helping care teams work more efficiently without adding administrative burden.

Violet also introduced new ways to measure and reflect person-centered care for Neurodivergent, Veteran, and Rural patient populations, acknowledging the distinct risk factors, access barriers, and care considerations these groups face. Together, these advancements help health plans and provider organizations gain clearer insight into provider expertise, focus learning where it has the greatest impact, and support more personalized care across diverse patient populations.

DH100 Methodology 

To compile the DH100, DHNY invited companies to complete an in-depth application with both quantitative and qualitative measures to get to know the company better. DHNY also used its dynamic database of digital health companies in the region to round out the consideration set. A company qualified for consideration if it maintained headquarters or employed at least 5 people in the New York region. Companies were excluded if: public or non-profit; founded before 2015; on the DH100 five or more years; had an exit. DHNY evaluated companies on a number of factors, including but not limited to: strength of application, leadership, # of employees, funding, revenue, market fit, differentiated  offerings, and community engagement.
