In 2013, 70 percent of physicians report that at least one of their patients is sharing health measurement data with them. However, the methods patients use to share their health measurements with healthcare professionals remain primarily low-tech. The most common forms used by patients are handwriting the data or giving the physician a printout of their information. Nearly three-quarters of physicians agree that self-tracking leads to better patient outcomes.
