For National Heart Health Month, we decided to look into what technologies seniors use (or would like to use) to monitor heart health. Our goal was to discover how our Members use health monitoring de... vices, websites, and other digital helpers to stay heart-healthy. The results show a fascinating gap when it comes to technology use: One third (30%) of our respondents currently use technology to manage their heart health. But a whopping 95% would use tech if it was recommended by their doctor, and 91% would use tech if it lowered their insurance costs! We hope to close that gap by showing seniors how technology can help them reduce the time and money spent on staying heart-healthy.
