Here are some key findings from a recently released Harris Poll Survey on public attitudes toward digital patient engagement tools:
- 84% of people say their doctor's offices have a patient portal.
- Adults age 55+ (61%) are more likely to access health information via patient portals than age 18-54 (45%).
- More than one third (37%) of people who use a wearable device/fitness tracker wear it every day.
- 78% of those using wearables over once a month want their doctors to have access to that information.
- More than 3 in 5 adults (64%) would at least sometimes choose telehealth visits to replace in-person visits.
- Over a quarter (27%) say they would always/often choose this option.
- Parents with kids under 18 (76%) are more likely to choose telehealth visits than those without kids (61%).
- 3 in 5 people would schedule doctor appointments via a patient portal or secure website, if it was available.
