We found that 96.5 million consumers used a device, app or website to track their health or vitals at least once in October 2022, with new users coming in a steady clip.
Per the study, “The use of health-tracking technologies has grown by 21%, a projected 21 million more U.S. consumers, since November 2021. This usage makes health-tracking technology the single most used connected health technology in the U.S. Roughly one-third of consumers used other connected health technologies last month, including telemedicine appointment portals and social exercise.”
