According to new research from Parks Associates, 41 percent of caregivers use digital health care devices. Among US broadband households, 22 percent have a head of household who currently provides care for a family member or anticipates doing so in the near future. Of the 10,000 broadband households surveyed, 44 percent of current or future caregivers expressed an interest in a “panic button” or mobile personal emergency response system. And 27 percent use and own one or more connected health device, with eight percent using a watch to track the individual they’re caring for.
