The overall verdict: The internet has been a plus for society and an especially good thing for individual users
A round-up of our 2012-13 health and technology research.
32% of adults transact bank business on their mobile phones
39% of U.S. adults provide care for a loved one, up from 30% in 2010, and many navigate health care with the help of technology
We posted a preliminary version of the September 2012 health survey data.
The market for mobile-ready health information continues to grow, even as health apps are just simmering along (in terms of consumer adoption, anyway).
Half of smartphone owners use their devices to get health information and one-fifth of smartphone owners have health apps
85% of American adults have a cell phone, yet just 9% have signed up for health alerts via text. What is the potential for this type of intervention?
Rural residents in the U.S. lag behind those in suburban and urban areas when it comes to technology adoption.
69% of U.S. adults track a health indicator like weight, diet, exercise routine, or symptom. Of those, half track in their heads, one-third keep notes on paper, and one in five use technology to keep tabs on their health status.
