How 'next best action' will change healthcare marketing - AdAge.com

In a world inundated with enough healthcare ads to give anybody a headache, every marketer wants to rise above the noise to get and keep the attention of consumers.

Image
Ever since the pandemic began, people with compromised immunity and underlying medical conditions face much higher risks for severe illness and are more susceptible to death. After several healthy individuals lost lives during the second Covid-19 wave, civic data reveals that the trend has reversed with comorbidity-related deaths once again accounting for 75-80% fatalities. While the second wave wreaked havoc across the country with overwhelmed healthcare infrastructure, a disproportionately higher number of people without an underlying health condition died during the peak. As the wave ebbs, this worrying trend has started to reverse. A Times of India report stated that during the second wave in April and May 2021, the deaths without underlying comorbidities accounted for 41% and 42% respectively of all Covid fatalities.
