  • Silicon Valley London Woodside Capital Partners (WCP)
    Silicon Valley London Woodside Capital Partners (WCP) proudly releases the inaugural healthcare report “State of Digital Health”. In 2016, healthcare cost in the US was $3.3 Trillion – 17.9% of GDP, passing $10,000 per capita mark for the first time ever. According to CMS, by 2026, the figure is projected to grow to $5.7 Trillion – 19.8% of GDP. The answer to curbing and reversing the trend with respect to healthcare costs lies in large part to the movement towards Digital Health, or ‘Health Tech’. The proliferation of devices and applications across the healthcare spectrum has led to a data tsunami – the “what”. Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and overall Big Data analytics are leading to real-time actionable insights – the “so what”. We have entered the realm of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), with ubiquitous connectivity and measurement of everything from our vitals and nutrition to physical activity and medical compliance. We are just starting to leverage that data in a meaningful way and seeing early impact on health and well-being. In 2017, venture investments in Digital Health startups exceeded $6 Billion for the first time, and the trend seems to be accelerating with $1.6 Billion invested in Q1, 2018. The juxtaposition of rising healthcare costs and increased Digital Health investments is not all that surprising. Advances in underlying real-time analytics and potential of leading edge innovations around genomics are turning the perceived fiction of personalized medicine into a real possibility. Foundational disruptions such as Blockchain, while relatively nascent, are creating excitement (and some anxiety) around secure, immutable data sharing across silos – with healthcare as the ideal use case.

    MOBILE SMART FUNDAMENTALS MMA MEMBERS EDITION FEBRUARY 2013 messaging . advertising . apps . mcommerce www.mmaglobal.com NEW YORK • LONDON • SINGAPORE • SÃO PAULO MOBILE MARKETING ASSOCIATION FEBRUARY 2013 REPORT Mobile as a New Year’s Resolution Motivator With time spent on mobile consistently on the rise and consumers using mobile for a range of activities and actions, smartphones and tablets have transformed into more than just technology. Mobile devices are considered a motivator to keep users focused, informed and entertained. In a recent survey that the Mobile Marketing Association and SessionM jointly conducted, as per the mPulse research series, we asked respondents to share how mobile has influenced their New Year’s resolutions. And of those that kept their resolutions, 70 per cent indicated that mobile apps helped move them closer to their goals. 50 per cent stated that mobile apps work as a constant reminder to keep them focused and change their behaviors. Additionally, 39 per cent believed apps that track their progress (i.e. fitness) provide a boost of motivation. While consumers gravitate to the social space to share most details of their lives, resolutions are still personal and predominantly private. 11 per cent of respondents indicated that sharing milestones were helpful in achieving their goals. With people setting resolutions across a number of different areas, eating healthier, financial management, couponing and even expanding their social life; there is a monumental opportunity for brands to engage with consumers via mobile apps to help usher them to their goals. If marketers support customers’ New Year’s resolutions, they can use mobile to strengthen their relationship and move closer to consumers than ever before.
