One-third of consumers are interested in wearables monitoring their health
Research firm Parks Associates today announced the topics and early advisory board members for the seventh annual Connected Health Summit: Independent Living and Wellness, September 1-3 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, California. Connected Health Summit, with early sponsorship from Alarm.com, Rapid Response Monitoring, and Sprosty Network, addresses consumer health and wellness solutions aimed at improving quality of life, with a focus on crossover opportunities among smart home solutions and independent living.
Recent research from Parks Associates finds one-third of consumers in US broadband households are interested in wearables monitoring their health, including 20% who are very interested. The executive conference examines smart home platforms, on-demand services, voice assistants, and wearables that empower consumers, caregivers, and providers with new insight into patient health. This presents a vast market opportunity for industry players with a footprint in the home willing to expand into the connected health space.
“The US healthcare industry is in the midst of transformation, with the rise of informed and increasingly empowered consumers and the ongoing overhaul of its information infrastructure from physical to digital with AI capabilities,” said Elizabeth Parks, President, Parks Associates.“Providing consumers with positive, on-demand healthcare experiences is no longer a selling point but a necessary component of healthcare solutions in both clinical and residential environments. We are excited to announce this year’s advisory board who will help shape the agenda for our annual health conference.”
