Survey: 67% of seniors want to access healthcare at home

Sixty seven percent of seniors want to access healthcare service from home, although 66 percent of seniors do not think current available technology is sufficient for them to do so, according to an Accenture survey of 354 US seniors, aged 65 and over who are receiving Medicare benefits. The survey was fielded between May and June 2014. Accenture pointed out that according to data from the US Census Bureau, 3.9 million Americans are turning 65 this year. The survey found that more than 66 percent of seniors prefer to use self-care technology to manage their health rather than managing health independently.
