Samachar - September 2021 Volume 2 Issue 9       IAMAI Submission on Unified Health Interface with National Health Authority IAMAI welcomed the proposed United Health Interface by the National Health Authority (NHA), mentioning its implementation will transform India's health ecosystem. However, through its submission, IAMAI recommended that End User Applications (EUAs) should be given the freedom to choose their own business models. The objectives of UHI will be better fulfilled if business models of the End User Applications (EUAs) are based on a free-market model rather than a controlled environment and if small innovators and entrepreneurs could be encouraged to enter into the sector. NHA had published a consultation paper inviting comments on the design and functionality of UHI. UHI is proposed to be a foundational layer of the National Digital Health Mission (NDHM) and is envisioned to expand interoperability of health services in India through open protocols.     Peach Roundtable - Redefining Creative Automation to Meet Consumer Expectations | 4th August, 2021 The world was turned on its head in 2020, but with crisis comes innovation.

AMP ads have greatly improved the mobile internet through their intelligent design and pre-loading features, leading to increased traffic, conversion rate, and page visits. AMP pages support traditional HTML ads, but these are slow to load, to solve this loading speed issue, publishers can make ads in AMP HTML. Nowadays, a growing number of publishers and advertisers are using AMPs to deliver faster and more engaging content to their users and are being able to generate good ad revenue out of it. The trick lies in the optimization and the use of the right technology.
