While use of health devices and wearables continues to rise, consumers remain wary about the security of their personal health data when using the tools.

Consumer wariness regarding connected technology could stall innovation and stifle use and adoption if it is not addressed by vendors, Harry Wang, Parks Associates' director of health and mobile product, told FierceMobileHealthcare in an email interview.
