2015 Apigee Institute Digital Impact Survey Finds Smartphones and Apps Are Transforming the Way Americans Manage Their Health and Wellness
SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 15, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apigee® (NASDAQ: APIC), developer of an intelligent API platform for digital business, today announced the results of the Apigee Institute’s 2015 Digital Impact Survey, which identifies health and wellness management as an industry in which smartphones and apps are changing behavior among a majority of connected consumers. According to the survey, 60 percent of adult smartphone owners in the U.S. - and nearly three quarters of millennials (71%) - say smartphones and apps have changed the way they manage their health and wellness. Additional findings show that almost half (49%) now want their doctors to use data from their fitness tracker and/or from health apps as part of their care.
The survey’s findings also reveal continued gains in the impact that smartphones and apps are having in banking and shopping, where these digital technologies have changed the consumer experience for 126 and 139 million U.S. smartphone owners, respectively. The report indicates that within the next 24 months, smartphones and apps may impact health and wellness management as much as they have impacted the more “digitally mature” banking and retail industries.
“Mobile devices and apps are creating demand for connected digital experiences in many, many industries; our annual Digital Impact Survey is designed to help business leaders keep their finger on the pulse of rapidly evolving behavior and expectations in key markets,” said Chet Kapoor, Apigee CEO. “This year’s survey suggests that smartphones and apps are beginning to dramatically impact the way we manage our health – from wearables that measure fitness to health apps from our doctors. By tracking and exploring how digital technologies are affecting key industries, we aim to help decision makers better capitalize on these trends.”
Digital is More than Mainstream
Driven by continued adoption of smartphones and apps, U.S. smartphone owners report an increased impact of digital technologies on everyday life in 2015. Among these 171 million consumers, changed behavior and excitement about “what’s next” appears to have broken through to the “late majority1”—the roughly 34 percent of a given population who approach new innovation with caution and adopt it only after the majority of the population has done so. According to the survey:- Smart, connected devices won more than 24 million additional enthusiasts in 2015 over 2014. A majority of smartphone owners (54%) feel “very favorable” toward the Internet of Things and nearly two-thirds (63%) are excited about smart connected devices for the home.
- Nearly two-thirds (64%) feel smartphones and apps give them more control over their lives, and more than eight in 10 (83%) believe their electronic devices make them more productive.
- Three quarters (76%) are more excited about predictive apps that learn from their use than standard apps; this rises to 85 percent amongst millennials (adults between ages 18 and 34) and 90 percent among those ages 18-24.
Digital’s Promise and Momentum in Health and Wellness
Since Apigee’s first Digital Impact Survey in 2013, more than 42 million additional Americans now report that smartphones and apps have changed the way they manage their health and wellness, representing a 70 percent increase in adoption.By 2017, digital’s impact on health and wellness may reach late majority adoption, suggesting that this industry may be the next “digital frontier.” The survey found that:
- More than 62 million Americans—37 percent of adult smartphone owners—report that they are healthier thanks to their smartphone and apps.
- This perception of improved health rises to 66 percent for those using either fitness devices or fitness and health apps to track health and fitness, and 78 percent among those using both a fitness device as well as apps via their smartphone to manage their health and wellness.
- Among those using both a fitness device and apps to manage their health and wellness, nearly nine in 10 (86%) feel their devices give them more control over their lives.
- Half of all smartphone owners (49%) say they want their doctor to use their data from a fitness tracker and/or health apps, and 80% of respondents expect doctors to offer key functionality via apps within the next one to two years.
- Millennials are also shifting the way they view healthcare, with nearly one in three already saying they would prefer a doctor who uses app and fitness tracker data as a regular part of their medical practice.
Retail Digital Transformation Momentum Continues in 2015
Digital technologies have continued to change the retail experience for US consumers in 2015. This year’s report suggests that retailers must continue to offer connected digital experiences to remain competitive.- Eight in 10 (81%) smartphone owners say the shopping experience has been changed by their devices, with nearly one in four (23%) saying it has “changed completely.”
- For millennials, smartphones and apps have changed the shopping experience for 86 percent, with one in three (31%) reporting it has “changed completely”
- More than two in five (44%) respondents expect to spend more online in the coming year, with 33 percent expecting to spend more through in-app purchases.
- When asked about expected purchases at brick-and-mortar stores, 20 percent expect a decrease in spending in the coming year.
- Use of apps for shopping is increasing as well, with 43 percent reporting app downloads from a big retail chain in the past year. Similarly, 25 percent downloaded an app from a consumer products company.
Digital Experiences May Shift the Center of Gravity in Banking
The 2015 Digital Impact Survey findings reveals that smartphones and apps continue to impact the way today’s banking consumers manage their financial lives. In 2015, adoption of digital technologies gained momentum in banking, with nearly three quarters (73%) of smartphone owners reporting a change in the way they bank. This rise in digital experiences and the declining relevance of “brick and mortar” banking facilities may indicate a larger shift in the center of gravity in financial services. The survey findings show that:- More than half of all of U.S. smartphone users (58%) report that they prefer to bank using their smartphone and apps. Among millennials, nearly three quarters (71%) prefer digital options.
- Approximately one in four respondents report using their smartphone for paying in-store, making or receiving a direct payment via app, or using a non-bank financial management app or website.
- Between 2014 and 2015, banking app daily usage increased from 14 percent to 20 percent, while non-ATM bank branch usage fell four points (to 41 percent). This represents 52 percent growth in daily banking app usage, year over year. Among those ages 18-29 more than one in four (27%) now use a banking app daily.

Karger Publishers Defends Against DDoS Attacks With Imperva Incapsula
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Dec. 15, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Imperva, Inc. (NYSE:IMPV), committed to protecting business-critical data and applications in the cloud and on-premises, today announced that Karger Publishers, a global medical and scientific publishing company, has selected Imperva Incapsula. The company will use the Incapsula service to ensure that its website, containing approximately 100 new scientific journals per year and a vast e-book archive, is accessible at all times by researchers at leading hospitals, research centers and universities all over the world.
In June 2015, the Karger website was the target of a massive distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that was controlled by a botnet with zombie clients all over the world. Shaken by the attack, the company evaluated several solutions and ultimately chose Imperva Incapsula because of its ability to detect, filter and control HTTPS traffic, the robustness of the cloud access security broker (CASB) offering and the speed at which Imperva was able to implement.
“We had an internal Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), but it was not able to detect the DDoS attacks we were experiencing,” said Daniel Hangartner, IT Project Manager at Karger Publishers. “We found a 70 percent increase in traffic, most of which was log files, which indicated a paid HTTPS attack.”
Marc Gaffan, General Manager for the Imperva Incapsula service, noted: “Karger was keen on getting the system up and running quickly while being able to tackle the root of the problem—filtering and controlling HTTPS traffic. Through a streamlined implementation, we were able to mitigate the attack and get defenses in place quickly.”
Once the Imperva Incapsula web application firewall (WAF) and content delivery network (CDN) were deployed in front of the Karger site, it resulted in an immediate drop in unwanted traffic. In addition, site performance has since improved and it has not been attacked again. The Imperva Incapsula Content Delivery Network (CDN) offers an added benefit of faster application delivery and enhanced user experience for researchers by enabling the Karger website to serve up dynamic content for paid subscribers without any cached content.
Imperva Incapsula is a cloud-based application delivery service that makes websites safer, faster and more reliable. Using Incapsula, organizations of any size can protect their businesses with enterprise-grade web application security, DDoS mitigation, performance optimization and load balancing.

Using a Graphics Card as a PhysX Processor - Beneficial or Not?
Even without reading the article I can tell you that the answer is. Kinda.
Recently we reviewed the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 980 AMP! graphics card, and a good point popped into our mind, what the heck do we do with our old graphics card? Take a read to find our whether it is beneficial to use your older graphics card to process PhysX!
Lucky bastards,
Anyhow back to the discussion. I am always amazed and how confused people get when talking about PhysX and this article is right up there. First of all they are testing with Futuremark Firestrike and a handful of games that DO NOT enabled PhysX. On top of that I get the impression that they are not using discrete graphics and put a Zotac 980 AMP! in there as a PhysX processor.
Mind Blown, if they wrote this as an experiment for click bait then you win, I lost. However, I see this as more of a joke article than something serious. Or, if the article was a serious attempt at proving something they should just stop now.
Oh and for those of you wondering what the right answer is, Yes you can benefit from a dedicated card in a few situations. 1) Running a lower end graphics card like a x60 series card from nVidia. 2) Running SLI, PhysX doesn't take much processing power but if you are gaming for the most performance dedicated PhysX processing is the best. 3) Out of game processing, eg code cracking, video rendering, image processing etc. Might as well have more GPUs in the mix
Seems like it might be time to for another PhysX article. I'll add that to my list of "when I have time" articles.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 14, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Net Health, the leader in software solutions for specialized outpatient care will host a free thirty-minute educational webinar titled "High Speed Impact: Real Results in Four Months," on December 15, 2015. The program details the success story of a hospital-owned outpatient rehabilitation facility (PT, OT, and SLP) that achieved 16% net revenue growth only four months after the full implementation of a specialized therapy EMR system.
Jeff Johnson, Director of Physical Medicine and Spine Surgery at TriStar's StoneCrest Medical Center in Smyra, Tennessee, will share how his clinic has boosted its average visits per day, billable units, and regulatory compliance—without any increase in staff.
Vice President of Net Health 360 Professional Services for Rehab Therapy, Doug Cundiff, will be interviewing Mr. Johnson about integrated software use and the best practices he credits for his facility's boosted performance.
According to Cundiff, StoneCrest's experience prior to implementing Net Health's ReDoc software included common clinical and business challenges, like: managing staff efficiencies with meaningful reporting capabilities, charge capture improvement to meet budgetary goals, and compliance in Functional Limitation Reporting.
The key enabler of these improvements was the adoption of specialized software that interfaces with the hospital's system-wide EMR, Meditech. It's designed specifically for physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology provider workflow and documentation.
