DALLAS – Seventy-three percent of caregivers are likely to buy an independent living solution for their loved one, according to new research from Parks Associates. Among those caregivers, 28% are planning to acquire a smart watch, 25% a PERS solution, 25% a professionally installed home sensor system and 22% a smart speaker/display solution. “Smartphones and connected smart devices hold the potential to transform health care for millions in America and billions around the globe,” said Renee Dua, former chief medical officer for Heal. “Health equality can be achieved through innovation.” The new research will be discussed at the virtual “Connected Health Summit: Consumer Engagement and Innovation,” hosted by Parks Associates and sponsored by Alarm.com, Essence and Everise.
