The Healthtech Marketing Show: HIT Trends in 2024 with Mike Miliard, Executive Editor Healthcare IT News

The Healthtech Marketing Show: HIT Trends in 2024 with Mike Miliard, Executive Editor Healthcare IT News

I recently hosted Healthcare IT News Executive Editor Mike Miliard on my Health Tech Marketing Show for an expansive view of the major healthcare IT trends and challenges emerging in 2024. 

We discussed the continued rise of transformative technologies like AI, which holds great promise but risks if not thoughtfully governed. The worsening scourge of cyber threats plaguing healthcare systems also commands urgent attention, with Mike bluntly stating, “It definitely seems to be getting worse.” 

While progress continues toward the elusive goal of seamless health data interoperability, legacy obstacles around privacy concerns, entrenched bureaucracy, and strained resources restrict the pace.

Telehealth and virtual care options keep expanding following pandemic-fueled adoption surges.

Leading-edge innovations in areas like quantum computing, genomics, and augmented reality inch healthcare towards a high-tech future, albeit slowly outside the biggest health systems.

We also touched on issues around advancing health equity, optimizing EHRs with richer data, and worrying sustainability questions threatening rural healthcare access.

I closed by getting Mike’s predictions on trends like climbing Epic EHR market dominance and a forecasted spike in AI-powered hacking threats.

For Mike’s full analysis and insights on all the critical technologies and challenges facing healthcare in 2024, listen to the podcast and video episode.

The Healthtech Marketing Show: Webinars That Work with Hannah Drake Kelley, Healthlaunchpad

The Healthtech Marketing Show: Webinars That Work with Hannah Drake Kelley, Healthlaunchpad

Webinars remain an important B2B marketing channel for generating quality leads and growing the sales pipeline. However, marketers must implement best practices to maximize webinar results. Hannah Drake Kelley, an account director at healthlaunchpad with significant webinar experience, recently shared proven tips.


DOWNLOAD THE PRESENTATION HERE


Webinars deliver on core marketing goals. 73% of B2B marketers find webinars generate the highest quality leads, with 20-40% of registrants becoming sales-qualified leads and 15% ultimately converting to customers. Webinars effectively showcase expertise and nurture prospects.

For benchmarking, averages show 260 registrations per webinar with 40% attending live. Aim for 100-110 attendees. Engagement increases with 90-minute webinars instead of 60 or 30 minutes. Also, one-third register within 24 hours, confirming the impact of persistent late promotion.

Common webinar pitfalls include inadequate planning, misleading titles overselling product propaganda, insufficient promotion, and poor sales follow-up squandering viable leads. Avoid these mistakes.

When planning webinars, identify topics addressing target buyer pain points rather than product features. Recruit speakers with credibility like existing customers or partners. Appoint moderators so speakers can focus solely on content delivery. Schedule Tuesday through Thursday afternoons targeting 1-3pm EST. Rehearse extensively pre-event.

Effective promotion requires compelling lead-capture landing pages summarizing core value propositions. Then launch email campaigns targeting customer databases and lists of prospects from target companies. Keep marketing the webinar until the last 24 hours when late registrations swell. Enlist sales for added amplification. Incentivize live attendance with giveaways. Promote extensively across all channels up to showtime.

During the webinar, rely on moderators to handle flow so speakers concentrate completely on enthusiastic content delivery, which engages audiences far more than tactical points. Incorporate interactive polls, not just Q&A sessions. Have behind-the-scenes staff manage technology and monitor real-time audience commentary.


Post-webinar, immediately send on-demand access and thanks to registrants. Provide sales tiered attendee lead lists based on engagement to prioritize follow-up. Resolve outstanding questions, re-purpose content, continue tracking impact on pipeline and revenue to guide ongoing strategy.


In summary, webinar success requires diligence across planning, promotion and production plus post-event sales and marketing coordination to fully capitalize on the lead generation opportunity. Committing to webinar best practices yields substantial rewards in quality leads, brand building and sales acceleration.

The Healthtech Marketing Show: Digital Health in 2024 "Not Dead yet" with Matthew Holt

The Healthtech Marketing Show: Digital Health in 2024 "Not Dead yet" with Matthew Holt

Digital health has been on a wild ride over the past few years. After a frenzied boom with sky-high valuations and investor enthusiasm, 2023 saw the wheels come off for many companies. I sat down with digital health legend Matthew Holt to make sense of it all and see what’s next for the industry.


Matthew Best is the founder of the Healthcare Blog (THCB) and (with Indu Subaiya) the Health 2.0 conferences, He now splits his time between THCB, and the SMACK.Health advisory service for health tech startups.

So what's the deal with digital Health?

After years of exuberant funding with record investment rounds, 2023 has seen a major pullback. As Matthew highlights, a hangover was inevitable following the “craziness” of the last few years, where startups received $100-200 million in funding from Softbank and others despite low revenues. 

With interest rates rising, investors are now being more selective. Many startups failed or have undergone painful mergers. While deal flow has dropped back to 2016-2017 volumes, Matthew notes this is still well above the more anemic years of 2009-2012. He believes we’re seeing a “reckoning” where unrealistic valuations get reined in, but digital health remains a vibrant sector.

Mental health tech has been a big winner, with the pandemic driving investor interest and adoption of online solutions. Matthew expects providers to focus more seriously on managing mental health given the widening recognition of its impact on physical health outcomes. 

On the AI front, some analytics startups that help identify at-risk patients show some promise. AI-based companies that are attacking physician burnout via automated documentation are worth watching as well. 

He also highlights startups using conversational AI to eliminate huge administrative hassles. With long hold times to complete tasks like prior authorizations, AI bots can hugely reduce provider frustration. While hype got ahead of reality, Matthew expects practical use cases for automation and AI to gain traction.  

It is surprising that major players like Amazon, Apple, and Google have struggled to disrupt healthcare. Matthew feels healthcare’s complexity, regulations, and entrenched incumbents have been insurmountable for these tech giants.

However, he sees opportunities in pharmacy supply chain management and medication adherence where a consumer-focused Big Tech solution could deliver real value.

For those daring entrepreneurs aspiring to build the next big digital health startup, in Matthew’s words,

“You probably need your brain tested.”

Beyond sheer determination, he stresses that raising money remains difficult and warned founders not to expect another funding frenzy anytime soon. Companies should identify paying customers who can fund product development rather than banking on splashy VC rounds or Quick IPO jackpots to survive. As Matthew wisely states, “If it’s not working relatively easily and there's not strong customer traction...find another wall to bang your head against.”

While the path ahead promises more disciplined growth, digital health still offers tremendous ways to improve patient outcomes and experiences while reducing waste. This balance between pragmatic funding and real-world utility points the way to companies that can build sustainable value over time versus chasing temporary hype cycles. Stay tuned as the next era promises exciting innovation alongside responsible disruption of healthcare.
