Virtual care bolstered ongoing clinical trials, a large focus of this study. Across all three medical conditions studied, videoconferencing, in particular, garnered relatively rave reviews among patients using the platform for the first time. We’re calling it Consumer Directed Virtual Care.”.
Evidence supporting the use of digital health tools if growing, tracked in Digital Health Trends 2021: Innovation, Evidence, Regulation, and Adoption from IQVIA Institute for Human Data Science. Then, IQVIA evaluated the universe of about 40,000 apps available in the iTunes store.
Stanford Medicine interviewed 523 physicians and 210 medical students and residents in September and October 2019 to assess clinicians’ perspectives on digital health topics for this study. Similarly, one-half of consumers expressed demand for digital health technologies in a study from GlobalWebIndex last year.
While Millennials are more likely to current use digital health tools compared with older Americans, Seniors’ killer-app for digital health is ePrescribing, refilling prescriptions, used by nearly one-half of older people.

Across the four types of tech studied, it’s smartphones that top the list of penetration in rural areas (at 71%), closely followed by computers (desktop or laptop, with 69% adoption), broadband (at 63%) and tablets in fourth/last place (49%).
Growing downloads and use of fitness and health apps, more workouts at home via fitness portals and online gym offerings, and mental health programs like Headspace and Calm have grown in the COVID-19 pandemic. Accenture’s study also asked whether we will have a “home-working revolution?”
Figure from Chilmark’s ConnectedHealth Report). The results of a six-month study on the impact of connected devices on chronically ill patients are in – and they’re not good. We looked at the Scripps study in more detail and uncovered a few specific areas where the study design came up short.
Among the least likely barriers were unqualified clinicians (compared with a “live” in-person doctor), the doctor’s inability to share health information with the patient, difficulty in booking an appointment, distractions from other online activities, and privacy issues.
If user experience is positive, then consumers will sustain their use of the innovation over time — a barrier which health-focused wearables, in particularly, have encountered. In this study, one in four wearable tech owners said they no longer used the device. Check out Estonia and Switzerland for case studies on that.
“Compare digital health to airlines, cruise lines, and other industries” and the sector looks quite privileged, opined Matthew Holt in a discussion on a study diving deeply into the State of Digital Health , conducted by Catalyst @ Health 2.0 and sponsored by WIPFLI.
My Fitness Pal is the most popular food tracking app on the market: I’ve been told by the founders that it could be the largest longitudinal health record of consumers, food, and weight loss in a single database.
At the same time, 2 in 3 people were also concerned aobut the privacy of their health information on apps. And there’s the ambivalence of “concerned embrace” of digital health. The phrase “concerned embrace” was coined in a 2017 Deloitte consumer study on mobile technology trends.
" An mHealth Intelligence article notes, "Real-time telehealth provides timely care, especially in emergencies or urgent situations, and maintains the concept of the doctor-patient relationship by enabling a face-to-face analysis and treatment. ."

But as we are learning through the first two stages of this program as well as the early headaches of ACA rollout, reams of sophisticated studies floated down from the ivory tower do not effective policies make. Evidence for the positive impact of this data on quality, satisfaction, and in some cases cost is thin but growing.
CCHP: CCHP stands for the Center for ConnectedHealth Policy and is a non-profit that has been designated the national telehealth policy resource center. The CCHP website also houses a vast resource center with research catalogs compiling peer-reviewed studies in several telemedicine domains.
