Overall Adoption of Connected Health Devices is on the Rise

Consumers are increasingly seeking out their own health devices to own and use at home. Parks Associates research reveals that over one half of US broadband households now report owning at least one connected health device, a dramatic increase from 2020, and 30% own three or more. Adoption of smart watches, smart thermometers, connected pulse oximeters and blood pressure cuffs grew substantially. In addition, intentions to purchase connected health devices about doubled for all connected health device categories year over year.

Reimbursement for connected medical devices through remote patient monitoring or hospital at home programs currently constitutes a large potential revenue pool in the United States. This potential is further bolstered by consumer demand for virtual care technology – and the possibility of future direct-to-consumer sales.
