49% of iPhone Users Own Connected Health Product, Says Parks

Forty-nine percent of iPhone owners who are heads of U.S. broadband households own at least one connected health product, versus 34% of Android owners, Parks Associates reported Monday. The most commonly adopted connected health wearables are smartwatches, fitness trackers and GPS sports watches. Consumers also report high demand for connected blood pressure cuffs, Wi-Fi weight scales and connected thermometers. COVID-19 has had a “dramatic impact” on consumer health and fitness markets, said analyst Kristen Hanich.
