Color has been named to TIME’s inaugural list of the World’s Top HealthTech Companies. This designation is awarded by TIME and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The list is the result of a comprehensive international analysis conducted to identify the most innovative and impactful companies across the globe delivering digital technologies to enhance healthcare, optimize clinical outcomes, and improve patient engagement.1

The recognition comes as the nation faces a mounting cancer crisis. The American Cancer Society estimates more than 2.1 million new cancer diagnoses will occur in the U.S. in 2026, with a rising incidence in younger adults. According to the Business Group on Health’s 2026 Employer Health Care Strategy Survey, 74% of employers are already seeing an impact from higher cancer prevalence in their workforce, and 92% of employers rank cancer as a top health spend. Color partners with employers, unions and health plans to address these challenges. Color’s significant technology advancements and AI applications make expertise in cancer more accessible to patients and clinicians. Color’s Virtual Cancer Clinic (VCC) brings the entire cancer journey under one accountable cancer management model, from risk assessment and screening through diagnosis, active treatment, and survivorship. 

Color’s 50-state, oncologist-led VCC — the first virtual practice to earn certification from the American Society of Clinical Oncology — has created measurable impact for its customers and the patients they serve. The model delivers improved risk stratification, accelerated and validated diagnosis, fast treatment plan reviews, and stronger clinical intervention alongside local treating physicians. Color’s VCC increases cancer screening adherence by 77% across customer populations; Color patients are getting into treatment 66% faster than with traditional models; and multidisciplinary review by oncology subspecialists, built into every patient's standard of care through Color's Expert Medical Opinion services, has driven a treatment plan change for 95% of patients and an estimated $62,000 in average cost savings per patient. 

Fueled by this progress, Color has grown its customer base by nearly 5x over the past 18 months, serving top brands such as Hasbro, Hot Topic, Universal Music Group, Philadelphia Teamsters, major US airlines, top financial institutions and many others. Color continues to expand access to its VCC through new partnerships, including its recent collaboration with Judi Health, and additional collaborations this year with Independence Blue Cross (IBX) Pennsylvania, BCBS of Arkansas, Priority Health, Evry Health, and Roundstone along with an innovative partnership with Maven Clinic to provide oncofertility care to support family building after a cancer diagnosis. Through this growth and expansion Color serves more cancer patients, survivors and high risk individuals than any other employer benefit focused on cancer.

"Cancer has been the number one driver of employer health costs for five consecutive years, and it's showing up earlier in people's lives and careers than ever before," said Caroline Savello, President, Color Health. "We built Color’s Virtual Cancer Clinic to bring the expertise and direct care of an entire cancer center to patients wherever they are, while using technology to make that care scalable across the full cancer journey. We're honored to be recognized by TIME for this accomplishment, and are proud of our team’s dedication to bringing world-class cancer care to every patient.”
