One-fifth of U.S. Broadband Homes Want Electronic Checklists from Physicians

Parks Associates digital health research reveals 25% of U.S. broadband households are interested in using a health portal to review doctors’ notes and nearly one-fifth would like to receive an electronic checklist after a doctor or hospital visit. 

Consumer interest in broader communications with doctors and health professionals is growing. Additional Parks Associates digital health research shows:

  • Over 50% of U.S. broadband households use two or more patient portals at least once a month.
  • More than two-thirds of U.S. broadband households use a health app or portal on a monthly basis, including over 80% of those with a head of household ages 18-24.
  • By 2019, millions of households will benefit from a smart home platform that offers solutions in safety/independent living, wellness, and health.


At the 2015 Connected Health Summit next week, Parks Associates analysts and healthcare industry executives will examine the opportunities to use these and other technologies to strengthen the patient-provider relationship, including the best approaches to inspire consumers to adopt healthy behaviors.
