Nathaniel Lacktman and Louis Lehot Assess 2024 Health Care M&A Outlook

Foley & Lardner LLP partners Nathaniel Lacktman and Louis Lehot authored the MobiHealthNews article, “2024 Predictions: Unveiling the future of health care mergers and acquisitions,” exploring the outlook for health care mergers and acquisitions activity in the digital health industry.

The authors assess pivotal factors influencing the decisions of health care M&A buyers in the upcoming year, including the sector’s ongoing transition toward value-based care, the rise in remote patient monitoring, the growing spotlight on mental health, the impact of artificial intelligence on the digital health landscape, the entry of nontraditional players into the market, an increase in startup-centric deals, and the expanding popularity of virtual care.

“The health care industry stands at the cusp of transformation, where adaptation to evolving trends becomes the key to success,” Lacktman and Lehot conclude. “Strategic buyers are anticipated to be particularly active as they seek to complement their existing portfolios and expand their offerings in this dynamic and ever-evolving sector.”
