Definition

A/B Testing, also known as split testing, is a controlled experimental method used to compare two variations of a marketing element—such as an advertisement, landing page, or email campaign—to determine which performs better based on specific user engagement metrics like click-through rates or conversions. It is a widely used tool for optimizing marketing strategies in the MedTech industry while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

A/B Testing is essential for refining marketing strategies by identifying the most effective content, layout, or messaging for engaging healthcare professionals, patients, or other stakeholders. It enables MedTech companies to make data-driven decisions that optimize resource allocation, enhance user experiences, and ensure promotional materials align with advertising regulations.
