Just over a third of older adult broadband households have a smart speaker or smart display, compared with 49% of all U.S. broadband homes, reported Parks Associates Tuesday. COVID-19 is contributing to the trend among seniors, said the researcher, as 26% of households 65 or older use at least one virtual health or wellness tool, and nearly 10% use a health tracker.
