Digital health tools used more for 'lifestyle' than disease management, says report

Health apps and wellness devices have “exploded in growth,” in recent years but they’re not being used by the people who need them most. That's according to a HealthMine survey published this week that polled 500 insured consumers and found that 59 percent of them have a chronic health condition. It also found that just 7 percent of those people are using disease management tools – even as 50 percent use a fitness or activity tracker app.
