The advent of the pandemic has upset the lives and habits of people in all areas, placing the emphasis on health as never before and leading to redefining the so-called “normality”, also and above all in terms of prevention, monitoring and managing your own well-being.
From an investigation carried out by My Doctor – online booking platform for medical visits part of the Docplanner group – it emerged that post-pandemic decreases the number of Italians who undergo regular check-ups, but attention is being paid to the constant monitoring of health remotely through technology.
Suffice it to say that in 2019 it was only 1 in 10 (10%) who checked their state of well-being through a tech device and specialized apps were used by less than 1 in 10 patients (8%). Currently, however, the trend has changed drastically, thanks to a decisive acceleration of digitization also in this area: in fact, they are over two thirds (69%) of Italians who today use device tech and apps (67%) in relation to their own health routine.
Specifically, the devices most adopted to date are primarily the smartphone, used by over half of the respondents (59%), followed by pedometer (16%) e fitness watch (8%). When it comes to applications to download, Italians prefer to focus on one (30%) or at most two (17%). The downs are the ones dedicated to diet and nutrition: over 1 in 4 (28%) have one on their smartphone. These are followed by those to monitor their own blood pressure and heart values (24%) and the regularity of the menstrual cycle (20%).
No wonder, therefore, if even as regards the gifts for this Christmas, health will be one of the cornerstones that will guide the choices of many.
