Whether your key conversion point is when a user registers, completes a profile, signs up for a subscription or reserves a seat, it’s increasingly critical for mobile marketers to look beyond the install and optimize their conversion funnel for cost-effective user acquisition and growth. And, once this funnel is optimized, that’s when marketers can step on the gas and truly focus on scaling customer acquisition. Yet, getting started with optimizing your user acquisition funnel can seem like an overly daunting task – where to start? Which conversion points are the most important to focus on first?
What are the best ways to measure and test improvements? “While you may have some intuition about it, it’s important to go into the optimization process without too many preconceptions and then let the data tell you,” says Jon Michaeli, EVP of Marketing & Business Development at Medisafe.

Virtual Reality In Healthcare: Where’s The Innovation? Virtual reality is no longer just about video gaming; it holds promise as nothing short of revolutionary for just about every other industry, as well. Since 2012, there has been an incredible explosion of interest and hype around mass market virtual reality (VR) thanks to head mounted display (HMD) products in development like the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Gear VR and Google Cardboard.
The technology has advanced to the point where very high-quality VR experiences are possible at reasonable price points, and should be widely available to consumers within a year. There are a few industries that have been making use of VR technology for decades, and healthcare is one of them. The number of virtual reality-related research articles in the Pubmed database have increased over the last 10 years from 204 publications in 2004 to 720 publications in 2014. However, there are still a fairly modest number of technology companies translating this research into practical VR applications.
Analysis: 103 FDA regulated mobile medical apps | MobiHealthNews. There are now more than 100 mobile medical apps registered with or cleared by the FDA as medical devices, according to MobiHealthNews’ just-updated report, aptly named: The 103 FDA Regulated Mobile Medical Apps. When we first published our extensive round-up of FDA regulated mobile medical apps in December 2012, we found 75 apps in FDA’s databases. This time around we added those that received clearance in 2013 as well as a handful of Class I devices we weren’t able to find in time for our last report. By our count about two dozen mobile medical apps either registered with the FDA as Class I devices or secured clearance as a Class II device.
No mobile medical apps sought premarket approval as Class III devices in 2013, which was no surprise. “If we move up to the next level — Class III — that requires a premarket approval application. Actually, the FDA did once clear a mobile medical app as a Class III device — 11 years ago — way back in 2002. How tech and smartphones are transforming the infrastructure-intensive healthcare industry. “When we were building Wockhardt Hospitals, for over 19 years we had close to 3,000 beds and were the second largest. And the largest hospital boasts of 7,000 beds. Currently, there’s a spend of close to USD 1,85,000 per bed. One of the biggest problems in the country is infrastructure development,” said Vishal Bali of Medwell Ventures at the Decoding Healthcare event by Unitus Seed Fund in Bengaluru this week.
