New York-based Precision Health Media continues to raise funds in venture capital, supporting their technology platform for health brands called ConditionMatch.

Apple Acquires Mobile Application Company
Apple has acquired mobile application company, Chomp. Their feature product is an app for searching the iOS App Store in clever ways. Chomp’s app uses a “proprietary algorithm” that learns the functions and topic of apps.

The app offers app browsing by unique categories that don’t exist within the App Store’s own taxonomy.
