If until recently it seemed difficult to access health-related information at any given moment, the rise of new technologies and the connected health phenomenon now appear to challenge that limitation.
Connected health refers to a set of technological systems aimed at sustainably preserving health and improving the quality of life for all individuals.
Among its various forms, e-health stands out as the most rapidly growing trend, attracting millions of people worldwide.
E-health encompasses all devices (connected objects, smartphones, mobile apps, etc.) that allow users to monitor their health data. These tools promote greater autonomy in managing one’s health or medical condition.
By listening to the body, the devices record all activity and generate a detailed report on the user’s smartphone, tablet, or computer.
While fitness and wellness apps are the most popular among mobile users, nearly 8 out of 10 French people believe e-health helps them monitor their health more effectively on a daily basis.
