80% of consumers have at least one medical device, with blood pressure monitors being the most popular. Of 2,000 respondents, 45% have a blood pressure monitor, 39% have electric toothbrushes, and 24% have a fitness tracker or pedometer. Those who own medical devices were likely to have bought them due to recommendations from a doctor or friends and family. “Tech-savvy consumers embracing the convenience and real-time health alerts of these devices will forever change how we all think about our personal health care,” Chuck Serrin of Propel Software said.
