Seventy percent of consumers are likely to use digital health solutions in the future, and at least three in four believe the solutions would help improve their wellbeing, according to a report by the Consumer Technology Association.
However, cost is the greatest barrier to adoption, and cost accompanied by a lack of user-friendliness is why consumers stop using digital health offerings altogether.
Still, 63% of healthcare providers believe additional clinical evidence will encourage further adoption, while 57% state increased patient reimbursement will play a role.
René Quashie, vice president of digital health at the Consumer Technology Association, spoke with MobiHealthNews about CTA’s latest report and what digital health stakeholders need to focus on moving forward.
