Senior health medical alert monitors are critical to improving health care among the elderly while assuring caregivers that seniors are safe.The British Medical Journal estimates that seniors using personal emergency response systems fail to push the button 80% of the time. 40% of the elderly fall each year, representing 70% of senior deaths.According to Chris Otto of Halo Monitoring (http://www.halomonitoring.com), a personal health and monitoring company, this adds $19 billion a year to U.S. health care costs. Halo is an excellent example of the fast growing wireless health care industry. (http://mobilebeyond.net/mobile-and-wireless-health-care-with-brian-dolan-of-mobihealthnews/)Despite seniors' use of medical alert bracelets, necklaces and other medical alert devices, more robust systems, such as the myHalo health monitoring system, not only improves senior health care monitoring but, in the long term, may lead to earlier discovery of chronic conditions that affect senior health as people age.Halo Monitoring and Senior Wireless Health CareA major challenge to caregivers of seniors—frequently sons and daughters of aging parents—is staying in touch with the elderly who want to live at home rather than in an assisted living facility. However, caregivers with busy lives find it challenging to monitor loved ones who frequently live alone. Companies like Halo Monitoring may provide a solution.myHalo, unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in early 2009, includes a wireless chest strap,  other body monitoring devices and a wireless gateway to transmit senior health information to the company’s secure servers. Text messages or emails are then sent to caregivers and emergency medical teams who can take action if a senior falls, fails to arise from bed in the morning or has an acute medical emergency.myHalo provides automatic transmission of body temperature, pulse rate, sleep patterns, level of activity and other medical information to mobile phone users. The iPhone application provides easy access to Halo’s website that maintains a health database on each senior for viewing by sons, daughters and other caregivers.The system helps users better manage their health needs from home, encouraging independent living for the elderly while giving peace of mind to busy sons and daughters who may live thousands of miles away from parents.Podcast Interview with Chris Otto at Halo MonitoringIn the podcast interview with Brian Prows, Chris Otto describes how myHalo is superior to other senior health medical alert monitoring systems. Halo's recent partnership with Microsoft's HealthVault Service, along with an iPhone application that provides constant health information, keep caregivers aware of medical alerts requiring attention.Chris also describes Halo Monitoring’s strong interest in senior mobility (30% of seniors fall outside their homes), expanding Halo’s medical alert information to the Blackberry and other mobile phones and adding new Halo senior health services leading to better detection of medical conditions.Medical alert devices like myHalo also increase user compliance and medical information security when monitoring senior health.Listen as Chris Otto describes how Halo Monitoring supplies health care solutions to seniors who want to live and thrive independently.Halo MonitoringHalo Monitoring is a health technology company focused on improving the quality of life for aging seniors and their caregivers. Halo’s flagship product, myHalo, is an advanced personal health monitoring and alert system.Unlike traditional PERS (personal emergency response systems)--devices that require seniors to manually press a "panic button”--myHalo automatically detects serious health problems (such as a person falling) can immediately notify designated caregivers and emergency personnel without the user taking any action.

The company started in 2008 and spent a year in stealth mode developing the content creation and delivery platform to produce contextually-rich made-for-mobile movies.Its mission is to make travelers' experiences more fun, easier and memorable.  Goals include completing rich mobile videos on over 270 historical sites in the U.S and Europe within a year and serving 500,000 travelers along the way.The company targets 29-50 year olds reflecting the changing demographics of smart phones in the U.S.  Mobile customers’ demand for streaming videos is rapidly increasing as more consumers access the mobile Internet for information and entertainment. For travelers who prefer audio only, VodoModo provides mp3 versions of its videos.Steve RadlingerSteve Radlinger has been involved in start up companies since 1994 either as founder or in a C-level position ranging from CMO for Milwaukee-based BoldAir, Inc. in 2005-2006, running Madison-based ThinkPen, LLC from 2000 to 2004 whose patented technology captures handwritten information on plain paper, to lauching ApartmentRenting in 1994 and growing it to 100 colleges nationwide.Previously, Steve worked in management at Hughes Aircraft and United Parcel Service. He has an MS in Organizational Development and enjoys sports, long distance bicycling and promoting student entrepreneurship.The Podcast InterviewIn this podcast interview with Steve Radlinger and Brian Prows, Steve further explains how VodoModo’s patent-pending web-based tool is used for producing each video through collaboration.  Mobile content for the slide show movies comes from photos in the public domain, its own photographers and image licensing.The company is rapidly developing videos of historic landmarks for the mobile streaming service that supplement, but not necessarily replace, guided tours and personal visits to hundreds of national and state sites.Along with the videos, subscribers to VodoModo’s “What’s Nearby” service provides information about restaurants, bars, hotels, airlines and more. Using GPS or triangulation with cell phone towers, VodoModo automatically pinpoints user locations to make appropriate suggestions for adjacent service establishments. Online streaming video reviews are also in the making.This capability, while customers are in spending mode at each site, is attractive to local advertisers and national brands to attract attention to location-based services. Customers, while traveling to historic locations, are information and reviews of adjacent food, hospitality and travel services.VodoModo’s business plan includes subscription revenue ($9.99 for each 15 videos viewed), online advertising, organic online search, social media, Brian Prows no 27:48 mobile,wireless,technology,communications,media,smartphoneshttp://mobilebeyond.net/mobile-streaming-videos-for-history-travel-put-vodomodo-in-your-pocket/http://mobilebeyond.net/Podcasts/SteveRadlingerPodcast.mp3 Kindle Wireless Reading Device Your Next Phone?http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mobilebeyondnet/~3/8J5n8hNQEH4/ http://mobilebeyond.net/is-the-kindle-your-next-mobile-phone/#comments Mon, 28 Dec 2009 00:02:50 +0000 info@mobilebeyond.net (Brian Prows) http://mobilebeyond.net/?p=1736

Running a successful online mobile applications store requires a close relationship with mobile application developers, mobile phone users, handset manufacturers whose mobile phones use different operating systems and other players in the mobile ecosystem.Apple launched its app store a year after the iPhone release, while major handset manufacturers—Nokia, RIM and Palm—followed later to meet the growing consumer demand for mobile games, utilities, business and other mobile applications.But a small company called GetJar with offices in San Mateo, CA, London and Lithuania launched in 2005, two years ahead of Apple and is bursting at the seams.GetJar Background GetJar is the world’s largest independent mobile app store with over a half billion mobile downloads to date. Started in 2004 by application developers, the company now offers more than 58,000 mobile applications running on 1,822 mobile handsets and has downloaded mobile apps 700 million times to consumers in 200 countries. In October, 2009 alone, the company had 55 million downloads and has a roster of over 305,000 application developers who bid for downloads on the GetJar site. In June of this year, GetJar was named winner of the 2009 Meffy Award for Best Direct to Consumer Service. GetJar is backed by marquee investors Accel Partners. GetJar also works with a select number of distribution partners including Sony Ericsson, Sprint, Opera, Vodafone, 3UK and Virgin Mobile.Patrick Mork Patrick Mork joined GetJar in 2008 as VP of marketing and member of the executive team.  His primary role at GetJar is to develop the company’s overall marketing, branding, content and communications strategy.

Mobile MMS video marketing delivered via SMS is growing in the United States.Mobile users typically open, read and share SMS text messages within a few minutes of receipt, making  SMS one of the most effective mobile channels to reach cell phone users.But mobile MMS videos increase user interest and bost direct response rates despite many consumers who ignore other promotional messages.Since the release of the iPhone and other smartphones with high resolution displays, mobile marketing and advertising firms, such as Crisp Wireless, have developed media-rich advertising. However,  SMS text messaging still dominates.MogreetMogreet (http://mogreet.com), a company with headquarters in Venice, California, bridged the gap in the text ad market by combining SMS and short MMS videos viewable on most phones supported by U.S. carriers.The company claims it's the first company to offer mobile MMS  videos across all cell phone carriers in the United States and will offer its service in Canada as well.Founded in 2006, the company raised $7 million in venture capital and built a platform capable of delivering SMS and MMS video messages to over 200 million mobile phones in the United States.(As of mid-2009, they're were 277 million mobile phones in the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_mobile_phones_in_use) or 89% of the total population. 246 million people in the U.S. have at least one mobile phone.)In 2007-2008, the company started its mobile MMS video greeting messaging service, using over 3,000 videos acquired through its partnerships with Paramount, Fox Mobile Entertainment and other movie companies. Mogreet compresses and then transmits MMS clips within SMS text messages. Mobile phone users can immediately view the videos.After first focusing on consumers in 2007-2008,  the company re-focused its business and now targets marketers who want more compelling, effective mobile ads than 160 character SMS messages. Mobile MMS videos, transmitted via SMS , produce higher click-through rates according to the firm.James Citron, CEO,  commented at Ad-Tech in New York in 2009:“Rich media has raised the standard for advertising online and in mobile. Marketers want and are starting to expect the ability to deliver engaging, targeted and interactive experiences with their consumers across all platforms."The company offers complete end-to-end campaign management, including video production, compression,  ad delivery and campaign analytics through its Campaign Manager. Brands and advertisers can view online, real-time campaign progress and fine-tune campaigns to maximize ROI.Successful mobile MMS clients and campaigns include Reebok (http://www.mobilemarketer.com/cms/news/advertising/4588.html) that achieved a 50% CTR, Summit Entertainment, the owner of  "Twilight, " running a movie trailer promotion, a hotel chain offering mobile coupons to guests redeemable for drinks and a successful Valentine's day promotion (http://www.mobilemarketer.com/cms/news/messaging/2642.html).Jay GossGoss (http://www.linkedin.com/in/jaygoss), Mogreet's SVP of Sales and Marketing, has over twenty years experience focusing on digital technology and innovation.

Raj discusses the SkyFire browser, cloud computing, voice recognition and mobile browsers in feature phones and sm... As more sophisticated mobile phones and smart phones proliferate, increasing the performance and features of mobile browsers (http://mobilebeyond.net/eric-hansen-at-sitespect-on-optimizing-mobile-websites/) has become critical for fast and accurate rendering of webpages on mobile handsets (http://mobilebeyond.net/mobile-application-development-testing-with-eran-yaniv-at-perfecto-mobile/).Mobile users now expect fast webpage loading on their mobile phones, whether the content is text, photos, videos or graphics. This challenges mobile carriers, despite their 3G networks, to meet the  the demands of data-hungry mobile users who use multitasking operating systems, such as Android,  Palm Web OS and others.SkyFire, a Mountain View, CA company has developed the industry’s first browser that enables full Flash, Quicktime, Silverlight and other rich-media codecs on a mobile device.The browser is server-assisted, off-loading much of the mobile handset’s processing, allowing full rendering of desktop Internet-based websites. Most websites typically load in less than five seconds due to SkyFire’s proxy server that compresses data at 75% or higher before delivery to mobile handsets.As the world turns more to cloud computing (http://www.singlehop.com/cloud/) with mobile and non-mobile websites, data compression and integrity become increasingly important.Although SkyFire only supports Windows and Symbian OS-based mobile phones at present, the company intends to expand its support of other operating systems and handset models.SkyFire, based in Mountain View, CA has raised $23 million from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Trinity Venture and Matrix Partners to develop and market the technology.Raj Singh and SkyFireIn this podcast interview with Raj Singh, SkyFire’s VP of Business Development, Raj discusses how the SkyFire browser works and its benefits to both mobile users and carriers, who are also investigating server-based solutions to improve network performance.He discusses what he calls the “fragmented web," predicting that network performance problems will continue due to multi-tasking operating systems and integrated social media features on smart phones—for example, having your mobile phone constantly connected to networks for social media information updates from Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and other services.Mobile cloud computing, according to Raj,  is a potential solution. Google’s latest search and mapping service, for example, off-loads mobile phone processing to large servers. This improves mobile browser performance and functionality when using data-intensive applications.High-end gaming is another example of an application that could benefit by off-loading processing, via the Internet cloud, to data servers.To cope with data demands on their networks, carriers and handset manufacturers are installing faster browsers on their feature phones, such as Opera Mini that delivers better handset and network performance.Raj Singh's Entrepreneurial CareerDuring the podcast, Raj discusses his career and strong interest in developing new companies and technologies. He cites several examples including Veeker, a citizen journalism project that helped individuals produce videos for television stations and the launch of MobiTV.Raj also discusses how natural speech recognition improves mobile user experiences while boosting company revenues. Yahoo, for example, drove search volume 30% higher by deploying voice recognition technology.Raj Singh’s BioRaj Singh is a mobile industry veteran who’s worked in many areas of mobile over the past 11 years. Before joining SkyFire, he consulted with Dell Mobile assisting them with their global SMS and WAP strategy. Prior to Dell, Raj co-founded venture-funded Veeker, NBC’s mobile video citizen journalism service and worked on ToneThis, CNET’s top ringtone creation product.Raj has also worked in product management, Brian Prows no 34:18 mobile,wireless,technology,communications,media,smartphoneshttp://mobilebeyond.net/skyfires-raj-singh-fast-mobile-browsers-and-mobile-cloud-computing/http://mobilebeyond.net/Podcasts/RajSinghPodcast.mp3 The Eyes Have It: Smartphone Users and Eye Strainhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mobilebeyondnet/~3/1XevYpqZ0zc/ http://mobilebeyond.net/the-eyes-have-it-smartphone-users-and-eye-strain/#comments Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:54:45 +0000 info@mobilebeyond.net (Brian Prows) http://mobilebeyond.net/?p=1337

(http://mobilebeyond.net/wp-content/media/TobiasKemper.png)If you were responsible for marketing,  business development and overall promotion for a new social networking business growing at 40,000 members a month, what would you do first?That's the challenge of Tobias Kemper, Nimbuzz' VP of its USA division. With headquarters in Holland (nine hours away from Silicon Valley), his days start early and end late.Now in over 200 countries with 10 million members, Nimbuzz works closely with social giants Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, MySpace in the U.S. plus GaduGadu, Hyves, StudiVZ, Giovani and others overseas. The sun never sets on Nimbuzz.Similar to MXit in South Africa (http://mobilebeyond.net/mobile-communications-and-communities-in-south-africa-mxits-herman-heunis/), Nimbuzz is creating a mobile social networking service.Nimbuzz enables people to enjoy free & low cost mobile phone calls, free instant messaging, social networking and other rich communication features, using the Internet capabilities of their mobile device. The online social networking service is also available using a PC or Mac.The brainchild of Dutch entrepreneur & CEO, Evert Jaap Lugt, Nimbuzz took two years to develop, officially launched in May 2008 (August, 2009 in the U.S.) and has won numerous awards.Established in Rotterdam, with offices in San Francisco, London, Argentina, Brazil & India, Nimbuzz employs more than 100 people.The company pioneered mobile Internet technology to redefine the way people communicate, combining benefits of traditional telecommunication services with a range of real-time communications and social networking features.At the heart of Nimbuzz is its live Contact list – an always-on, hyper-connected and continuously changing dynamic address book, showing at a glance who’s online, offline, busy or away, their status messages, avatar pictures and social community activity.Social networks & communities supported by Nimbuzz include Skype®, Facebook®, MSN® Messenger, GoogleTalkTM, Twitter, Yahoo!TM, AIM®, MySpace, ICQ®, GaduGadu, Hyves, Studi VZ, Giovani and others.Tobias KemperTobias Kemper, Vice President at Nimbuzz USA here in Silicon Valley, is responsible for marketing, communications and business development.Previously, Tobias managed global communications and social media development for the company.Before joining the social networking company, Tobias handled marketing strategy and brand consulting for brands such as Palm, Discovery Networks, Conde Nast, Gillette, Dwell and Timbuk2 .He has a Marketing degree from the University of San Francisco and has represented Nimbuzz as a speaker at various events, panels and industry round tables.Tobias says his early involvement in the mobile industry comes from his love for mobile phones, blogging about gadgets, trends and emerging technologies, launching the Palm Treo 750, and running a workshop for Palm at the TED conference.Originally from Germany, Tobias studied and has worked in the UK, USA, Germany, and The Netherlands.In the podcast, Tobias talks about the service, several strategies the company is exploring to monetize their free service, relationships with wireless carriers and social media companies, new services under consideration and maintaining strong relationships with its members.Of particular interest is the growth in female members. (18-35 year old males currently dominate the service.)Tobias strongly believes that location-based mobile applications on smartphones keeping users in touch with their friends is one of the strongest continuing trends.How does an “always on” communications channel affect your life and the lives of your users? Should we always be connected?
