In the near future (by 2034) - there will be more adults over the age of 65 than children under the age of 18 in the United States¹.
According to a recent article in Managed Healthcare Executive:
"Most older adults are using or plan to use assistive and digital health technologies as they age in place in the comfort of their homes."
As the population ages, a growing priority among Americans is aging in place—the ability to live in one’s home and community safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age, income or ability level. According to the CDC. Assistive digital health technologies are going to play a huge role in helping the older population age in the comfort of their homes.
A U.S. News survey shows 53% of adults older than 55 are already using some sort of assistive or health related technology.
Of those already using assistive or health related technology, 25% use medical or health related apps while 17% use wearable medical or health-related trackers.
Furthermore, when asked what mattered the most when using assistive or health-related technologies 38% stated accessibility using a mobile app.
