Paradigm shifts in healthcare retailing biz models
This document discusses the emergence of healthcare retail in India as the convergence of healthcare, retail, and information technology. It notes that while healthcare retail emerged as a concept two years ago, its integration with other sectors like retail, education, and manufacturing is more recent. It then discusses trends in the retail, healthcare and ICT sectors in India and how this convergence is enabling new healthcare retail models to develop. These new models focus on improved access, information sharing, and management of both chronic and preventative healthcare needs. The document provides examples of emerging retail formats for healthcare like in-store clinics, medical spas, express health clinics, and combined health and wealth counseling.
How Online Advertising Works
The document summarizes research from comScore on the effectiveness of online display advertising. Some key findings:
- Click rates on display ads have fallen dramatically to under 0.1% but research shows clicks do not correlate with brand metrics.
- Using comScore's panel of 2 million users, the research found substantial latent effects of display ads, including a 46% lift in visits to advertiser websites and up to a 27% lift in online sales.
- The effects persist over 4 weeks, with categories like retail seeing the highest absolute increases in reach and lift.
- The research suggests display ads can impact consumer behavior despite low clicks, working similarly to traditional offline advertising through repeated exposures.
Emerging Markets - India
The healthcare sector in India is large and growing rapidly due to population growth, a rising middle class, and an increase in chronic diseases. However, India faces major challenges in healthcare including inadequate infrastructure, a lack of access for many citizens, and a lack of health insurance coverage for most of the population. The government is taking steps to improve rural healthcare but a significant healthcare divide still exists between urban and rural areas.

Udupi’s Of Healthcare
A small but growing band of companies wants to make healthcare affordable, accessible, and ubiquitous.
