According to Parks Associates' estimates, by 2019, there will be 24 million homes in the U.S. with an installed smart home controller for home security, energy management or home control applications.
Currently, nearly 30% of U.S. broadband households own a connected health device, and U.S. sales of connected wellness and personal health products and services will exceed $8 billion in 2018.

In forecasting the growth of both the smart home and connected health markets, Parks Associates identified three scenario-based outlooks for potential crossover opportunities between the two markets.
