Parks Associates’ Connected Health Summit features Jasper Health, Omron, Garmin, Becklar, and more speaking about new opportunities for health monitoring
Parks Associates will host the Connected Health Summit virtual session “New Era of Emergency Response and Remote Patient Monitoring” on Tuesday, August 30, 11 AM CT US, to discuss new opportunities for health monitoring, including cardiac conditions, sleep disorders, and safety monitoring for all ages. Event sponsors include ADT Medical Alert, Alarm.com, EarlySense, Johnson Controls, Rapid Response Monitoring, Becklar, and Independa.
Parks Associates finds that 28% of US internet households intend to purchase a wearable within the next six months, and health and medical features are very popular with this cohort. Approximately 95% are willing to pay more for a wearables model if it has advanced health features, including 66% who would pay more for a device that accurately measures blood pressure and can share that information with their doctor.
“Wearables intenders are most likely to pay more for medical-grade vital sign detection, particularly blood pressure, arrhythmia, and blood oxygen levels. There is also high interest in fall detection features,” said Kristen Hanich, Director, Research, Parks Associates. “Likely buyers ages 25-44 are more likely than those in other age groups to be willing to pay more for health-related features, even for fall detection. That said, fall detection is the #1 feature for consumers ages 65 and older.”
“New Era of Emergency Response and Remote Patient Monitoring” features interactive panel sessions, along with a keynote presentation from Adam Pellegrini, CEO and Co-Founder, Jasper Health. The panels "Remote Patient Monitoring: Solving Health Issues in Real Time” and “Wearables for Health: Tech is the New Normal" analyzes new programs developed around remote patient monitoring and opportunities emerging from the growing number of use cases for wearables.
