In today’s competitive landscape, capturing and maintaining consumer engagement is paramount. Businesses are continually seeking ways to connect with their audience and foster meaningful interactions. By leveraging data insights and innovative technologies, companies aim to enhance consumer engagement and build lasting relationships.
In December 2022, new regulations regarding the permissible use of tracking technologies sent shockwaves through the healthcare industry, making personalized digital experiences seem nearly impossible. For healthcare providers, offering personalized services while navigating evolving privacy landscapes has become a strategic imperative.
These regulations present both challenges and opportunities. While they restrict the use of certain tracking technologies, they also compel healthcare leaders to explore innovative approaches that prioritize customer privacy without compromising the quality of personalized care.
At the heart of this transformation is the need for clean, comprehensive data. Without it, personalized digital experiences in healthcare are simply not feasible. However, obtaining and utilizing such data in compliance with privacy regulations is no small feat.
Danielle Rossi, EVP, Managing Director, Hero Digital, had the opportunity to moderate a panel at Adobe Summit with industry experts, Matt Schwabel, Executive Director of Marketing Technology & Operations, UNC Health, Arun Kumar, EVP of Data and AI, Hero Digital, and Tom Swanson, Head of Healthcare Strategy and Marketing, Adobe, as they shared insights into navigating these challenges. They emphasized the importance of striking the delicate balance between personalization and privacy.
